personoinn

Personoinn is a neologism used in discussions of personal identity within digital systems. Because it is not standardized, its meaning varies by author, but it generally denotes a framework, artifact, or concept intended to encode, store, or emulate a person’s persona across different contexts or platforms.

The term blends persona with inn, conveying the idea of a repository or resting place for an individual's identity across environments, and is sometimes described as a metaphor for the way a persona travels with a person through digital spaces.

In some artificial intelligence and human–computer interaction writings, personoinn refers to a personal identity schema that guides a virtual assistant, chatbot, or avatar to maintain consistency in preferences, values, and behavior over time and across sessions. In design or social research, it may describe a model of a person’s traits, values, and social roles used to tailor experiences. Others use the term more loosely to discuss preservation of memory or character in multimedia storytelling or digital twin concepts.

Because there is no universally adopted specification, implementations, if any, vary widely. Common components described include an identity model or schema, consent and privacy controls, data provenance, and lifecycle management. Issues raised include privacy, consent, user control, bias, and potential misrepresentation or manipulation of a person’s persona.

Related concepts include digital identity, digital twin, and user persona.
