What You’ll Learn

Before creating content, you need to know who you’re creating it for. In this lesson, you’ll build a detailed reader avatar — demographics, psychographics, pain points, and content preferences. The easiest approach? Base it on yourself from a few years ago. You’ll use AI to guide you through an interview process that produces a comprehensive document for all future content creation.

Time to complete: ~40 minutes for the full interview process

What is a Customer Avatar?

We’re creating a reader avatar – a detailed profile that goes beyond basic demographics to capture pain points, problems, and lifestyle factors. This helps structure content that resonates with your target audience.

The easiest approach is to create an avatar based on yourself from a few years ago. Recall the problems you faced and your lifestyle then, using these memories as the foundation for your target audience profile.

Essential Elements of a Customer Avatar

1. Basic demographics:

• Age range

• Gender

• Location

• Income level

• Education

• Employment

2. Psychographics:

• Values

• Interests

• Lifestyle

• Personal qualities

• Goals

• Pain points

3. Purchasing characteristics:

• Buying triggers

• Decision-influencing factors

• Price sensitivity

• Preferred communication channels

• Information search habits

4. Content consumption:

• Preferred platforms

• Content type preferences

You can use the Kortex tool to generate a Customer Avatar – this is a valuable function available in the free version. It works through an interview process where AI asks questions, you provide answers, and it formulates a comprehensive document describing your reader avatar.

This avatar becomes an essential reference document for all your AI content creation requests, helping ensure your writing remains targeted and relevant.

Remember that your avatar isn’t static – refine it over time if you notice discrepancies between your content direction and your actual audience characteristics.

Creating a Reader Avatar in Kortex

1. Open Kortex

2. Click Chat

3. Select Market → Customer avatar generator

4. Follow the AI’s instructions, answer its questions, and it will generate a finished document describing your target audience

Creating a Reader Avatar Independently

1. Take my avatar example

2. Upload it to any AI and ask it to conduct an interview to create a reader avatar based on the provided structure

3. Alternatively, you can specify the structure you want without using a source document

This lesson is designed to help you understand how to work effectively with AI, which is why I’ve intentionally avoided providing overly detailed instructions or ready-made prompts.
