# Individual Sources

> Understand current audience creation and source-specific individual workflows.

For a new research audience, start in **Audience** and choose **Create New**. The current page offers **From your data** and **From iMario**. It does not use the old homepage Audience/Solo dropdown.

## Create the audience you need

Use [your data](https://imario.ai/docs/audiences/build-from-data) for customer records and evidence. Use [From iMario](https://imario.ai/docs/audiences/catalog) to describe a segment within an existing population. Select an available audience directly in **New Task** when it fits.

## Existing individual workflows

Some saved conversations and assets use LinkedIn imports or personality assessments. Their cards and pages differ from default audience creation.

- [LinkedIn source](https://imario.ai/docs/synthetic-individuals/create/solo-mode/import-from-linkedin): professional background and available public material.
- [Personality assessment](https://imario.ai/docs/synthetic-individuals/create/solo-mode/clone-from-personality-test): information supplied in an assessment conversation.

If an older guide directs you to a Solo dropdown you cannot find, use current audience creation or ask support about the source-specific entry available to your workspace.

The old 20-credit creation charge is retired. Study and chat usage follow [current pricing](https://imario.ai/docs/workspace/pricing).

## Connect evidence

For ongoing grounding, use [Connect a data system](https://imario.ai/docs/synthetic-individuals/create/connect-data-system), including [Feishu](https://imario.ai/docs/synthetic-individuals/create/connect-feishu). These add audience evidence; they are not action skills.
