  • Patent number: 11776016
    Abstract: This application relates to apparatus and methods for automatically determining and providing personalized user personas of a customer for specific platforms (e.g., applications). In some examples, a computing device receives a persona request identifying a user and a platform. In response, the computing device obtains user data associated with the user and a plurality of potential user personas from a database. For each of the plurality of potential user personas, the computing device then determines a combination score for the user based on the user data. The combination score indicates user's affinity to a corresponding potential user persona within the platform. The computing device selects at least one potential user persona of the plurality of potential user personas as a final user persona for the user and the platform based on the corresponding combination score.
