When you sign up, Percio opens an onboarding wizard that generates your first persona. You don’t start with a blank slate.

​
What onboarding does

The wizard asks a handful of questions about your product and your target users:
  • What does your product do?
  • Who’s the primary user?
  • What device do they use most?
  • How technical are they?
  • What are they trying to accomplish?
From those answers, Percio generates a persona with all the fields populated — name, occupation, tech level, focus areas, pain points, and a system prompt ready to evaluate your flows.

​
Why this matters

Your first persona is the one that runs your first test. If the onboarding answers are rushed or generic, the persona will be generic too, and your first report will feel vague. Spend two extra minutes on the onboarding questions. It pays back on every test.

​
Reviewing and refining

After onboarding, head to Personas and open your new persona. Review each field:
  • Does the occupation match the person you had in mind?
  • Do the focus areas cover what this persona would actually care about?
  • Do the pain points feel real, or generic?
  • Is the tech expertise right for this segment?
Edit anything that feels off. You can tweak fields individually or rewrite the whole system prompt if you know what you want.

​
Skipping or dismissing onboarding

If you dismiss the onboarding wizard without completing it, you won’t have a persona to run tests with. Open Personas → Create new to build one manually — same fields, no pressure to do it in one shot.

​
When to create more

One persona is enough to run your first test. For ongoing use, two to four personas that represent distinct segments of your audience is the sweet spot for most products. See Persona strategy.
