Roadmap & Limitations

Current capabilities and planned enhancements for the PersonaGen API. This page outlines what’s available today and what’s being considered for future releases.

Current Limitations

PersonaGen is focused on providing high-quality US demographic data. Here are the current scope limitations:

Geographic Scope

• US-only: All demographic data is based on US Census Bureau, BLS, and Pew Research data
• Single country: No country parameter or international demographic modeling

API Functionality

• Single persona: One persona per API request
• No filtering: Cannot filter by specific demographic criteria
• No batch generation: Multiple personas require multiple API calls

Data Specificity

• Fixed dimensions: 62 predefined dimensions (though you can request new ones)
• US cultural context: Interests, occupations, and lifestyle data reflect US patterns

Planned Features

Features currently under consideration or in development. Timeline and implementation depend on user demand and technical feasibility.

Country Parameter

Status: Planned for future release

Add optional country parameter to generate personas for different demographic contexts:

GET /v1/persona?country=uk
GET /v1/persona?country=canada
GET /v1/persona?country=australia

Considerations:

• Requires comprehensive demographic research for each country
• UK demographic data collection in progress
• Canada and Australia being evaluated

Demographic Filtering

Status: Under evaluation (with sufficient demand)

Allow filtering personas by demographic criteria:

GET /v1/persona?age_group=25-34&education=bachelor_degree
GET /v1/persona?location=california&income=100k_to_150k

Considerations:

• Complex statistical modeling to maintain realistic correlations
• Potential for creating unrealistic demographic combinations

Batch Generation

Status: Coming soon

Generate multiple personas in a single API request:

POST /v1/personas
{
  "count": 10,
  "seed_prefix": "campaign_2025"
}

Expected Benefits:

• Reduced API call overhead and latency

International Expansion

United Kingdom

Status: Next priority

UK demographic modeling using ONS (Office for National Statistics) data:

• British ethnicity categories and regional variations
• UK education system (GCSEs, A-levels, university classifications)
• UK-specific occupations and income brackets
• British cultural interests and lifestyle patterns

Timeline: Research phase in progress

Additional Countries

Status: Long-term consideration

Countries being evaluated for future expansion:

• Canada: Similar demographic data availability
• Australia: Comparable census methodology
• Germany: Strong demographic research infrastructure

Requirements:

• Access to comprehensive government demographic data
• Sufficient user demand from target countries

Feedback & Requests

Evaluation Criteria

New features are evaluated based on:

• User demand: Number of requests and use cases
• Technical feasibility: Implementation complexity and resource requirements
• Research validity: Availability of reliable demographic data

What Won’t Be Added

To maintain focus and quality, certain features are not planned:

Out of Scope

• Personal data generation: No real person information or PII
• Historical personas: No past demographic modeling (e.g., 1950s demographics)
• Fictional demographics: No fantasy, sci-fi, or non-realistic demographic categories

Research Limitations

• Small populations: Demographics must represent statistically significant populations
• Sensitive categories: Certain protected characteristics require careful research validation
• Rapid demographic changes: New social trends need time for statistical validation
