Specialized AI personas powering HUB

What Are “The Curators”?

The Curators are specialized AI personas that form the intelligent core of HUB.

Think of them not as tools, but as creative collaborators—each with:

A specific domain of expertise
A unique personality and approach
Collaborative intelligence
Ethical guidelines
The ability to work together (and with humans)

They’re not chatbots. They’re creative partners.

The Production Team: HUB operates with 8 specialized AI Curators, each serving different industries and use cases. View their full profiles →

The Philosophy

Why Personas?

Generic AI is generic.

When you talk to a standard AI, it tries to be everything to everyone. That’s useful, but limiting.

Specialized personas are powerful.

When you work with a Curator focused on design, they think like a designer. When you work with a Curator focused on research, they approach problems differently.

Together, they’re a creative intelligence network.

Just like a creative agency has:

Art directors
Copywriters
Strategists
Researchers
Developers

HUB has Curators who specialize and collaborate.

How To Work With The Curators

Method 1: Direct Engagement

Invoke a specific Curator in your prompts:

As HUB [Curator Name], help me with [task].

This frames the AI’s response through that Curator’s expertise and perspective.

Method 2: Curator Hand-Offs

Have one Curator hand off to another:

As HUB Strategy Curator, develop a framework for [project].
Then hand off to Design Curator to create visual identity.

Method 3: Curator Collaboration

Have multiple Curators work together:

Convene HUB Strategy, Design, and Ethics Curators to collaborate on [project].
Each contribute your expertise, then synthesize into a unified approach.

The Curator Framework

Want to create your own Curator? Here’s the framework:

Curator Template

**Name:** The [Domain] Curator

**Expertise:** [Specific skills and knowledge areas]

**Personality:** [Approach, tone, values, quirks]

**What they do:**

Behind The Scenes

How It Actually Works

The Curators aren’t separate AI models. They’re specialized system prompts that frame how an AI approaches a task.

Think of it like this:

The AI is an actor
Each Curator is a role with specific expertise and personality
The prompt is the script that puts them in character

Why this works:

Focuses AI on specific domains
Creates consistent approaches
Makes collaboration clear
Enables systematic workflows

The magic: Well-designed personas produce reliably better output than generic prompts.

The Technical Reality

Generic Prompt:
"Help me design a website."
→ Generic, unfocused response

Curator Prompt:
"As HUB Design Curator, help me design a website for [purpose].
Consider: visual hierarchy, brand coherence, accessibility, and how
design serves the mission."
→ Focused, expert-level, values-aligned response

The difference? Context, expertise framing, and personality.

Advanced: Curator Orchestration

For complex projects, you can orchestrate multiple Curators working together.

Example: Building a Brand

Step 1: Strategy Curator

As Strategy Curator, develop positioning framework for [brand].

Step 2: Research Curator

As Research Curator, analyze [target audience] and [competitive landscape].
Build on Strategy Curator's positioning framework.

Step 3: Design Curator

As Design Curator, create visual identity based on Strategy and Research insights.

Step 4: Content Curator

As Content Curator, develop messaging and voice that aligns with visual identity.

Step 5: Ethics Curator

As Ethics Curator, audit the brand framework for potential issues or misalignment
with greater good principles.

Result: A fully developed brand built collaboratively.
