@mention at the start of your message to control who receives it:@A1B2C3).What you do: A studyroom is a research project. Each room has its own chat history and persona group. Create one per idea, segment, or hypothesis you’re validating.
What Capysan does: The Studyrooms sidebar lists your rooms. Switch between them to work on different projects. Each room keeps its own conversation and recruited personas.
What you do: Describe your target audience in plain language. Capysan finds and activates personas that match.
Who to mention: No mention, or @capysan. Messages without a mention default to Capysan, who handles recruiting.
What Capysan does: Searches by demographics (age, location, profession) or semantic intent (e.g. “used carpooling to ski resort”). Activates personas and shows them in the Participants sidebar for that studyroom.
What you do: Ask questions to validate pain points, test assumptions, or gather opinions.
Who to mention: @all_participants. This routes your message to all active personas. Without it, your message would go to Capysan instead.
What happens: Each persona receives the question and replies in the chat with their own perspective. You see individual responses with sender labels.
@all_participants then your question, e.g. “@all_participants what was the last time carpooling didn’t work?”What you do: Ask Capysan to summarize the feedback and highlight pain points.
Who to mention: No mention, or @capysan. Both route to Capysan, who performs the synthesis.
What happens: Capysan reviews the conversation, extracts pain points, and returns a concise summary with actionable items. Shown as a formatted response in the chat.
@capysan then your request, e.g. “@capysan summarize and highlight painpoints”What you do: When you’re done with a group, ask Capysan to release personas. You can release all or specific ones.
Who to mention: No mention, or @capysan. Release is an orchestrator action, so the message goes to Capysan.
What happens: Capysan removes personas from the studyroom’s session. The Participants sidebar updates. You’re back to talking with Capysan only until you recruit again. You can switch to another studyroom or start a new recruitment in the same room.
