How to choose a lens for a conversation — and what to do if you want to combine two perspectives? A separate practical guide to personas and lenses has been added to the Dreamlens help center.
It brings together all 66 lenses categorized by groups: psychologists, philosophers, Advaita teachers, and writers. Each one includes a brief background on the person or tradition, an explanation of their approach, and a tip on when such a perspective might be useful. You can jump straight to the relevant card from the table of contents.
The guide shows you how to select a single persona, mix two, or use group synthesis. Style settings are covered separately: how to change the tone of the response and the best order to do it in. A useful tip: select your set of personas first, then adjust the style — changing the composition resets manual adjustments.
It includes sample questions, explains the differences between account settings and the lens in the ChatGPT panel, and provides a “getting started” memo. A lens offers a specific angle for discussion; it does not replace calculations, nor does it mean that the historical figure themselves is speaking to you.
Open the Help Center: the “Personas and Lenses” card is in the top row, next to Quick Start and the Practical Guide. The material is available in Russian, English, Spanish, German, and Hindi.
Try looking at a single question through two different lenses. If the explanation for any persona remains unclear, please write here — this will help make the help center more useful.
