About

We put customer knowledge at the heart of every decision

Built by a UX/CX expert who spent a decade experiencing the same problem: customer data everywhere, customer intelligence nowhere.

Our mission

Make customer intelligence radically accessible

At Personæ, our mission is to make customer intelligence radically more accessible, continuous, and actionable. We believe that every team, regardless of size or resources, deserves powerful tools to stay truly customer-centric.

By combining real data and human insight with the power of AI, we help teams bring the voice of the customer into every strategic decision.

Problem

Fragmented data. Different customer visions. Still big decisions.

Solution

Turn real customer data into Living AI Personas teams can query, challenge, and use to stay aligned and make evidence-based decisions.

Vision

A world where Product, Marketing and Sales teams make every customer-centric decision from the same customer reality.

Our values

What drives us

The principles that drive how we build, decide, and interact with our customers.

Empathy first

We build with deep understanding, active listening, and respect for diverse perspectives. The same empathy we pass on to Personæ users, which they apply to their own customers.

Progress through curiosity

Curiosity fuels innovation. We ask the uncomfortable questions, challenge our own assumptions, and encourage the teams we work with to do the same.

Trust by design

We build ethical, secure, and respectful products. Trust is not a feature — it is the foundation. We earn it through transparency and consistent action.

Thrive together

Diverse, inclusive, and supportive culture. We believe the best ideas emerge when everyone feels confident enough to contribute and challenge.

Open letter

A founder's open letter

By Hugo, Founder of Personæ

Coming from the human sciences, my career was built around neurosciences, psychology, ergonomics, and UX. Between Aix-Marseille and Paris, through Montréal and Nantes, I honed my understanding of human beings in all their complexity, up to a PhD. After nearly 10 years of experience in innovation — first as a UX Designer, then as a User Researcher — I went on to expand my expertise into Customer Experience and Product Management.

Passionate about understanding customers' and users' mental models, customer knowledge has always been at the heart of my thinking. But this journey exposed me, again and again, to the same problem.

In every company that welcomed me (Orange, Renault, Akeneo...) and with every client I worked with, the same pattern repeated. Customer knowledge exists — but it isn't accessible, or barely so. Siloed across teams, scattered across dozens of tools and platforms, nobody really knows where to look or what's already been done. Over the course of my career, I personally spent an average of 35 % of my working time searching for or recreating knowledge that already existed.

But the most profound consequence is the lack of alignment. Product, Marketing, and Sales teams never speak the same language, and never target the same customers. Each team operates in its own bubble, with its own assumptions. And I discovered this has a real cost: roughly 10 % of annual revenue lost to inefficiencies, and 4 fewer growth points compared to companies that shared a common customer understanding — according to LinkedIn and HubSpot studies.

It was this reality — lived daily and confirmed by the numbers — that pushed me to find a solution. That's how Personæ was born.

A platform that centralizes and transforms customer data into "living" AI personas that reason and respond like real customers, and that all team members can query and challenge in natural language, continuously, to finally share a common customer reality. No more time wasted searching for information on a customer segment, no more decisions based on opinion, and no more inconsistent messaging. That's what true Customer Intelligence is!

But Personæ's vision goes further: to make Customer Intelligence a complete layer, and an integral part of companies' ecosystems and stacks. From prospect to user, through buyer. From raw data ingestion to actionable knowledge. From the augmented ICP to truly intelligent personas. So that customer data is never wasted again, and every decision is made from a shared, living customer reality.
