AI Personas Explained: The Secret to Better SaaS Messaging
Thu Jan 15 2026
AI has made content creation faster than ever — but for most B2B SaaS teams, it has also made messaging more generic, not more effective.
In this episode of Performance Delivered: Insider Secrets to Marketing Success, host Steffen Horst is joined by Christopher Silvestri, Founder of Conversion Alchemy, to break down how SaaS companies can use AI personas, synthetic research, and AI-assisted workflows without losing clarity, differentiation, or brand voice.
They explore why most messaging problems are not copy problems, but clarity problems, and why AI should be treated as an input system rather than an output shortcut. The conversation covers how to ground AI personas in real customer research, how to structure messaging frameworks that scale across teams, and where human judgment remains essential.
This episode is especially relevant for B2B SaaS marketers, founders, product leaders, and growth teams navigating the intersection of AI, positioning, and go-to-market strategy.
Key Topics Covered:
Why AI tools do not fix messaging problemsThe difference between prompting and context engineeringHow to build AI personas based on real customer dataCommon mistakes SaaS teams make with AI-generated copyWhat a real AI-assisted messaging system looks likeHow to scale brand-consistent messaging without losing nuanceThe future of synthetic research in SaaS go-to-market teams
