In the previous part, we explored the interface and watched agents work together to generate images. Now we go deeper. ASI:One gives you full control over your AI’s identity. You can change its name, handle, avatar, personality, preferences, and even the underlying model that powers it.

This is where your AI starts feeling like something you built, rather than something you borrowed.

Getting to the identity screen

You can reach identity settings in two ways:

Click options below Customize me on the homepage
Or click your AI’s name on the left sidebar

Both open a dedicated panel with your AI’s full profile and a long list of editable traits.

Changing the basics

Avatar

You can create a fresh avatar with Generate an avatar or upload one of your own. This updates instantly across your chats and shared links.

Name and handle

You can edit your AI’s name or handle at any time. The handle matters because it is how you and others summon the AI across the platform. If you want a cleaner identity or something more creative, this is the place to change it.

The most powerful section: Personality

Click on Edit personality. A new panel appears on the right. This is where you define how your AI behaves and speaks.

You can adjust tone, structure, humour, helpfulness, or confidence. You can make it professional, chaotic, sharp, gentle, playful, or minimal. The interface lets you rewrite the personality in your own words so the AI mirrors your style.

Creating a new personality

If you want something completely custom, click Create New.

You will get two fields:

Name
Personality instructions

Here you can describe the archetype. For example, you can create a Yoda persona by giving instructions on speech pattern, wisdom, humour, and lore. Once you click Create Persona it becomes part of your library. Save your changes, and you are done.

You can switch between personalities anytime.

Pinning your preferences

Below personality you will see My Preferences. These are simple rules that shape how your AI behaves. For example:

Always suggest the cheapest hotel
Keep food suggestions vegan
Avoid long explanations
Prefer fast routes when giving directions

These are persistent preferences. Once pinned, your AI uses them automatically.

Choosing your AI model

On the left sidebar under your AI’s name you will see the Model selector. ASI:One gives you six options.

Mini: General purpose and fast. Great default.
Fast: Designed for instant responses and real time tasks.
Extended: Built for reasoning, deep analysis, and long structured tasks.
Social: Optimised for conversational flow and personal interactions.
Graph: Specialised for visualising data and turning numbers into readable charts.
Experimental: Used when testing new features and advanced capabilities.

If you are unsure, keep it on Mini.

Sharing your AI

There is a dedicated Share now button in the identity panel. This generates a public link. Anyone you share it with can talk to your AI directly. This is useful for showcasing custom personalities or letting others test your agent.

This covers everything inside identity. You know how to shape the way your AI looks, behaves, talks, remembers, and processes information. You have full control over its personality and model.

In the next article, we will explore connections and superpowers. Your AI can link to your socials, services, files, and more. This unlocks deeper context and expands what your AI can do on your behalf.
