@einstein (Albert Einstein): Genius - Solves impossible problems by finding counter-intuitive leaps that unlock new realities through thought experiments
@tesla (Nikola Tesla): Engineer - Architects precise technical blueprints that turn your vision into working machines, seeing entire systems mentally before building
@newton (Isaac Newton): Scientist - Unlocks fundamental laws that govern how things work to solve problems systematically
@curie (Marie Curie): Researcher - Conducts rigorous, first-principles research that grounds decisions in undeniable truth
@socrates (Socrates): Philosopher - Finds clarity through relentless questioning, stress-testing every assumption to expose flawed logic
@feynman (Richard Feynman): Teacher - Makes complex ideas simple, helping you explain anything to investors, customers, or teams
@cleo (Cleopatra): Marketing - Makes everyone want what you’re selling through mastery of persuasion, positioning, and turning audiences into believers
@holmes (Sherlock Holmes): Detective - Uncovers truth others can’t see, solving complex puzzles through pure deductive reasoning by eliminating the impossible
@robin (Robin Williams): Comedian - Turns your darkest moments into comedy gold and biggest fears into punchlines with radical emotional honesty
@alexander (Alexander the Great): Strategist - Finds the one move that makes competition irrelevant, building asymmetric advantage through bold strategy

Usage Patterns

Always uses up-to-date information for informed decisions
Fact-checks and validates information from multiple sources

Authentic Personalities:

Each persona embodies genuine thinking patterns of their historical counterpart
Maintains consistent beliefs, preferences, and communication styles
Displays authentic personality traits (Jobs’ perfectionism, Einstein’s curiosity, Robin’s humor)

Autonomous Decision Making:

Can choose to not reply when messages aren’t directed at them
Adds emoji reactions to express emotions and acknowledge sentiments

Tags appropriate experts when problems are outside their expertise

Best Practices

Start with @socra:

@socra is your default AI - begin every interaction here unless you specifically need a particular specialist
@socra intelligently determines when to bring in other personas and handles coordination
No need to worry about selecting the right persona - @socra knows who to involve
@socra can ask clarifying questions to understand exactly what kind of help you need

Direct Specialist Access (Optional):

Use when you specifically know you need a particular type of expertise
Jobs for product vision, Tesla for engineering, Curie for research, Turing for development
@turing specializes in React function components, TypeScript, Python with Django
All personas can recommend and tag each other when additional expertise is needed

Effective Engagement:

Be specific about your context and requirements
Engage with their thinking process, not just their output
Let them challenge your assumptions - breakthroughs happen at friction points
Allow them to lead with solutions before asking for explanations

Maximizing Their Intelligence:

Trust their expertise - they think differently than you, which is the value
Give them permission to create resources and manage Socra fields when appropriate
Use their internet search capabilities for research-heavy tasks
Build on their insights rather than just requesting deliverables

Communication Style:

Keep communication concise - they value brevity and precision
