# Settings: Rules & Persona

> Shape how your intern behaves — set its persona and voice, and define standing rules it follows automatically on every action.

Two settings shape how your intern shows up: its **persona** (who it is and how it sounds) and its **rules** (what it always does or never does). Set them once and they apply to every conversation and action.

## Persona

The persona defines your intern's identity and voice — its name, tone, and personality. It's how the intern sounds when it writes an email, replies in a group, or talks to you directly.

```
Set your persona: friendly and concise, a little witty, never stiff or corporate.
```

```
Change your name to Alex.
```

```
When writing on my behalf, match my casual tone and keep things short.
```

## Rules

Rules are standing instructions your intern obeys automatically, without being reminded each time:

```
Always keep emails under 150 words.
```

```
Always BCC my assistant on external emails.
```

```
Never send anything on my behalf without showing me first.
```

## Viewing and Editing

```
What rules do I have set?
```

```
Remove the rule about BCC'ing my assistant.
```

You can manage both persona and rules from the **Settings** page in the web app, or just talk to your intern.

## How They Interact with Memory

Persona and rules are durable preferences applied to everything. They live alongside [Memory & Project Data](/intern/memory), which holds the facts and context your intern remembers about you and your work.

<Tip>
  Start with one or two rules that matter most. Adding too many at once can pull your intern in conflicting directions.
