You will study what makes an agent thoughtful, clear, perceptive, appropriately proactive, and genuinely easy to work with, then translate those insights into evals, training data, reward signals, and model improvements. We use “personality” to mean much more than writing style or general likability. It includes whether an agent understands what the user is trying to accomplish, communicates with good judgment, adapts to context, asks useful questions, handles disagreement honestly and takes
