We map them only from public pages (its own site and documentation, its talks), each step with its source, and never guess. If you are at Persona, the quickest way to get this right is to tell us how it works. ## Our question for them {#question} As for every company we follow, three questions, not claims. We have not asked Persona yet. When they answer, it goes here. 1. **Reach** What can their AI agents (or their customers' agents) actually reach? 2. **Mandate** What were they authorised to do? 3. **Gap** Who controls the gap between the two? ## Where this comes from {#sources} - [websummit.com/sessions/lis26/fee750f6-f935-464b-a11d-aebd458d9805/in-…](https://websummit.com/sessions/lis26/fee750f6-f935-464b-a11d-aebd458d9805/in-bots-we-trust-defending-money-against-ai-powered-fraud/), read 2026-11-01 by the team's curator: LIS26 session page (conferenceSlug lis26): 'In bots we trust: Defending money against AI-powered fraud', 11 Nov, MoneyConf, Stage 8, names Persona as the speaker's organisation. - [websummit.com/attendees/lis26/7b2621fc-2a0d-484e-bea9-9927584b0f43/ri…](https://websummit.com/attendees/lis26/7b2621fc-2a0d-484e-bea9-9927584b0f43/rick-song/), read 2026-11-01 by the team's curator: LIS26 attendee page: Rick Song, CEO, Persona; country and industry as listed by Web Summit; public bio. - [websummit.com/sessions/lis26/5a32be7c-7846-4880-be27-d0782c3b83dc/bey…](https://websummit.com/sessions/lis26/5a32be7c-7846-4880-be27-d0782c3b83dc/beyond-the-front-door-identity-access-and-user-trust/), read 2026-11-01 by the team's curator: second LIS26 session page: 'Beyond the front door: Identity, access, and user trust', 12 Nov, Cybersecurity Summit, Stage 8.
