# Factions
Factions are organisational tools for designers to **categorise personas effectively**. They influence **AI-generated content** by defining the voice of personas in that faction and can be used for Pattern of Life (PoL) generation.
## When to Use
Factions should be used to:
* Streamline the process of finding and managing personas
* Tailor the AI-generated content with distinct voices
## How to
### Implementation
1. Navigate to `Personas`
2. Click the Factions icon located in the top right corner to begin setting up your factions
### Configuration
* **Name**: Provide a unique name for each faction (this is the only mandatory field)
* **AI-used fields**:
* **Description**: Define the communication style to be used by the AI
* **Empathy**: high number = more reasonable, low number = more aggressive
* **A3E**: Defence classification approach commonly used with the Pulse analytics feature
* **Image**: Optional, but adding an image aids in visually identifying and managing factions quickly
## Usage
### Adding personas to factions
Personas can be added to factions in batches for efficiency.
Alternatively, while editing a persona, it can be individually added to a faction.
Once assigned to a faction, personas can be filtered for easy retrieval and management.
