+
+#### Persona Files
+
+Personas are configured using JSON files. These can be:  
+1️⃣ Provided by **plugins** (e.g., [OpenAI plugin](https://github.com/OpenVoiceOS/ovos-solver-openai-persona-plugin/pull/12)).  
+2️⃣ Created as **user-defined JSON files** in `~/.config/ovos_persona`.  
+
+Personas rely on [solver plugins](https://openvoiceos.github.io/ovos-technical-manual/solvers/), which attempt to answer queries in sequence until a response is found.  
+
+🛠️ **Example:** Using a local OpenAI-compatible server.  
+
+Save this in `~/.config/ovos_persona/salamandra.json`:  
+
+```json
+{
+  "name": "Salamandra",
+  "solvers": [
+    "ovos-solver-openai-persona-plugin"
+  ],
+  "ovos-solver-openai-persona-plugin": {
+    "api_url": "https://ollama.uoi.io/v1",
+    "model": "hdnh2006/salamandra-7b-instruct",
+    "key": "sk-xxxx",
+    "persona": "helpful, creative, clever, and very friendly."
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Now the `"Salamandra"` persona should be available, the example above is using a demo server, please note no uptime is guaranteed
