# Persona Approval

> Reviewing and approving generated personas before simulation runs

# Persona Approval

When you start a simulation, Snowglobe automatically generates personas that will interact with your AI agent. The persona approval flow lets you review these personas before conversations begin, ensuring they align with your testing goals.

## How Personas Are Generated

Snowglobe creates personas by analyzing the context you've provided:

* **[Chatbot Description](/snowglobe/docs/guide/write-chatbot-description)** — Defines who your agent serves and what it does
* **[Simulation Prompt](/snowglobe/docs/concepts/simulation-prompt)** — Guides which scenarios and user types to generate
* **[Knowledge Base](/snowglobe/docs/concepts/knowledge-base)** — Provides topics and domains for realistic queries
* **[Historical Data](/snowglobe/docs/concepts/historical-data)** — Informs persona behavior based on real user patterns

This combination produces diverse, realistic personas that stress-test your agent across different user types, goals, and interaction styles.

## The Approval Flow

As personas are generated, they appear in the approval interface. You can:

* **Accept** individual personas to include them in the simulation
* **Deny** personas that don't match your testing goals (new personas will be generated to replace them)
* **Accept All** using the automatic approval button, which approves personas as they're generated

Most users accept all personas to maximize testing coverage. The automatic approval option is especially useful for large simulations where manual review would be time-consuming.

## Why Review Personas?

While automatic approval works well for most cases, reviewing personas helps you:

* Verify personas align with your specific testing intent
* Understand which user types will be tested

Once you've approved enough personas to meet your simulation size, conversations begin and you'll see the [spatial view](/snowglobe/docs/concepts/spatial-view) with live progress.
