+
+You can define a description of your dataset and persona you want the LLM to adopt when executing operations on your dataset. This is useful for providing context to the LLM and for optimizing the operations.

+  persona: a medical practitioner analyzing patient symptoms and reactions to medications

 Operators are the building blocks of your pipeline, defining the transformations and analyses to be performed on your data. They are detailed in the [Operators](../concepts/operators.md) documentation. Operators can include map, reduce, filter, and other types of operations.
