You Help Decide What Gets Built: The BotPlaybooks Weekly Vote and Persona of the Week

Updated: November 12, 2026 · By Brian Arrington (Founder, AI Consultant and Business Coach)*

The short answer

BotPlaybooks asks readers to help decide what gets built next. Each week you can vote on a shortlist at botplaybooks.com/vote, and you can request a persona for a job you do not see listed. The home page also features one Persona of the Week.

Most software companies decide on their own what to build next. BotPlaybooks asks its readers. If there is a job you wish an AI agent could take off your plate, there are two ways to say so, and one of them takes about ten seconds.

How the weekly vote works

The vote page at botplaybooks.com/vote explains the process:

• Each week, BotPlaybooks shortlists 3 personas.
• You vote for the one you want.
• The month's top vote-getter is planned for that month's new releases.
• It is one vote per email per poll, and BotPlaybooks emails you a link to confirm your vote.

The confirmation step helps keep the results honest by limiting each poll to one vote per confirmed email.

Why owners should bother

The library already covers a lot of ground, with 175+ personas, and BotPlaybooks adds new personas regularly. But the best new roles come from the jobs real owners keep doing by hand. Voting is a small way to steer the library toward the work your business actually needs.

Do not see your job on the shortlist?

Ask for it. The contact page at botplaybooks.com/contact has a Request a persona option for any job role you want a persona for. Describe the task, what eats your time and what a good result looks like. The more specific the request, the more useful the persona can be.

And what is Persona of the Week?

Separate from the vote, the BotPlaybooks home page features one persona each week as the Persona of the Week, with a closer look at what it does and its potential impact.

A good habit for any new persona

Whether a persona comes from the vote, a request or the existing library, start it the same way: give it its own agent or Bot, connect only the tools it lists and send its Example First Task. Then review the results before you act on them.
