Create Your Own Synthetic Employee

Capture how a specific person thinks, communicates, and makes decisions — and put it on demand.

Institutional knowledge walks out the door when people leave. Onboarding takes time. And some expertise — a founding engineer's system intuition, a top seller's objection-handling instincts — is nearly impossible to document.

iMario lets you build a synthetic individual that captures how a specific person thinks, communicates, and makes decisions.

When to Use This

  • You want to preserve the knowledge and judgment of a key team member
  • You're onboarding new hires and want them to have someone to learn from on demand
  • You want to simulate how a specific colleague or expert would respond to a situation

Step 1: Build Your Individual

Use Solo Mode.

You have two options:

From LinkedIn Paste a LinkedIn profile URL to generate an individual grounded in their professional background, experience, and communication style.

From a Personality Test Have the person talk to the AI analyst for approximately 8 minutes. Their responses are used to build a synthetic individual that reflects their thinking style, personality, and reasoning patterns.

For the most accurate result, use both — LinkedIn for professional context, personality test for behavioral depth.

Step 2: Configure Your Audience Node

In the Audience Node, select the individual you just created.

This Playbook is built around a single Individual in Solo Mode. There's no segment comparison or multi-flow setup — the focus is on depth and accuracy for one specific person.

Step 3: Extend with Knowledge Bases and Agent Skills

A synthetic employee becomes more useful the more context you give it.

Connect a Knowledge Base to ground them in specific domain knowledge:

  • Internal documentation
  • Past decisions and rationale
  • Product specs or process guides

Connect Agent Skills to extend what they can do:

  • Apply specialized reasoning
  • Execute structured tasks
  • Interact with defined workflows

The combination of personality, memory, and knowledge makes the individual genuinely useful — not just a chatbot with a name.

Step 4: Interact via Chat

There's no Task Canvas for this Playbook. Use Chat to interact directly.

Ask them what you'd ask the real person:

  • "How would you approach this architecture decision?"
  • "What objections should I expect from this type of buyer?"
  • "How did we handle this kind of situation before?"

Each interaction updates their memory, making them more accurate and useful over time.

What to Look For

A well-built synthetic employee should:

  1. Respond in a recognizable voice — if people who know the real person find the responses plausible, it's working
  2. Surface non-obvious knowledge — not just facts, but judgment calls and reasoning patterns
  3. Improve with use — memory means every conversation makes the individual more grounded

This isn't a replacement for the real person. It's a way to make their knowledge available at scale.
