GET /api/visibility/personas?syntheticId={id}

Authentication: Required

Personas represent different types of buyers or users. During a visibility scan, Pendium tests each query from each persona's perspective — because AI platforms give different answers depending on who's asking.

A "Technical CTO" asking about project management tools gets a different response than a "Marketing Manager" asking the same question.

Why personas matter

Without personas, every scan query is asked from a generic perspective. With personas, Pendium injects each persona's background, goals, and context into the AI's system prompt — mimicking how real users with different backgrounds get different recommendations.

This means you can see: "ChatGPT recommends us to CTOs but not to marketers" — and create content that fills that gap.
