Interview 3 real customers, build 2 honest personas

Personas made up in a meeting room are fiction. Pick a product, interview 3 real potential customers about their actual habits and frustrations, and build 2 personas where every claim traces to something a real person said.

Steps

  1. 01Pick a product/service with customers you can reach (a local shop, an app your friends use, a tuition class).
  2. 02Interview 3 real potential customers, 10 minutes each: their current habits, what annoys them, what they’d pay for, exact words.
  3. 03Find the patterns and the differences — that’s where personas split.
  4. 04Build 2 personas: name, context, goals, frustrations, buying triggers — each detail tagged to which interview it came from.

Tools: 3 real people, ChatGPT or Gemini for question prep and synthesis

Your submission

Submit the product, your interview notes with real quotes, the 2 personas with interview-traceability, and what surprised you.
