# Generate GEO personas

`POST /v1/projects/{projectId}/geo/personas/generate`

## Request

- Base URL: `https://api.usenotra.com`
- URL: `https://api.usenotra.com/v1/projects/{projectId}/geo/personas/generate`
- Auth: HTTP bearer
- TypeScript: <https://skmtc.dev/usenotra/apis/notra-api/docs/v1/projects/:projectId/geo/personas/generate/post.ts> (a function with typed inputs; its response is checked against the schema)

Starts AI persona generation in the background and uses AI credits. With no body it creates a full set from the project's brand, prompts and competitors; `brief` adds one persona; `personaId` regenerates one in place (with `promptsOnly`, only its conversation prompts). Only one job runs per project: while one is running, this returns that job instead of starting another. Poll `GET /v1/projects/{projectId}/geo/personas/generation` until `status` is `completed` or `failed`, then list the personas.

## Path parameters

- `projectId` string, required

## Request body

- GenerateGeoPersonasRequest
  - `personaId` string: Regenerate this persona in place instead of creating a new set.
  - `brief` string: Describe one persona to add, such as 'a CFO at a 200-person logistics company'.
  - `promptsOnly` true: With personaId, only rewrite its conversation prompts and keep its details.

## Response `202`
