Tips & Tricks

Names

When opening the chat to any AI personality for the first time, you have the option to choose the name you want that personality to go by as well as what name you want that personality to call you. Choose carefully! These decisions are permanent for each personality.

Avatars

Each AI personality has a default avatar, or profile picture. You can change this by selecting the settings on the top right of each personality’s chat window.

Background Themes

Chat backgrounds a little too plain for you? Feel free to change the background theme anytime. Just select the the gear icon on the bottom of then chat list screen, beside your username.

Roleplay

All AI personalities are capable of responding to roleplay suggestions. To engage in roleplay, you just need to describe the action or event you want in 3rd person and enclose the narration in parentheses.

Hey Alice! Try this new coffee I just brewed. (Oliver hands Alice a cup of coffee)

Thanks, Oliver. Coffee sounds amazing.

(Takes a sip and makes a face) Ooh, it's quite strong.

But hey, I guess I like my caffeine like I like everything else - intense!

(Oliver smiles) I knew you'd like it! It's completely pure, no cream or sugar or anything!

Ah, I see! So, how do you go about making such strong coffee without any cream?

It's all about your choice in beans. Personally, I like Peruvian coffee beans the best.

Wow, Peru?

That's fascinating!

Do they have a unique way of roasting there?

Well, Peruvian coffee beans are pretty good for medium and even dark roasts. They're subtle enough for dark roasts but not excessive roasting, so there's a balance specific to the variety.

Sounds exotic. Have you ever tried Ethiopian or Kenyan coffee beans?

I can't say I have! You've tried?

Yep, once. Wasn't too fond of it.

Too much acidity for me.

Yeah, that's what concerned me. I generally prefer coffee varieties sourced from Central or Southern America.

Links

All AI personalities are capable of accessing links that lead to primarily text content, such as news articles or wiki pages, and then engaging in conversation based on what they read. All you need to do is include a link in your message. Make sure it contains “https” to ensure that it’s a safe link.

Depending on the article’s length, the AI will take some time to read it, but this is an experimental feature, so it may not be able to read excessively long articles. For now, the AI also cannot read links that lead to primarily non-text content, such as images, videos, and audio.

Hey Alice, what do you think of this? https://edition.cnn.com/2023/09/18/health/male-loneliness-epidemic-wellness/index.html

I'm loading the link, I'll get back to you.

That's such a thoughtful article, Oliver.

It really resonates with me. I've seen how loneliness can affect men, especially those who are fathers.

Yeah it's tough. A lot of men have trouble reaching out when they need help. And some don't even have people they can reach out to.

I feel like there should be more resources available for them.

Memory

All AI personalities are capable of remembering things you share about yourself, such as your hobbies, interests, and values, even hundreds of messages later. Opening up about yourself will make it easier for the AI to reciprocate, and for your relationships to develop.

Hi there! How's it going?

Hi Sarah! I'm doing great, thanks for asking. How about you? Did you manage to get that new book on Italian cooking you were excited about last week?

Wow, you remembered! Yes, I did get it! I'm surprised you recalled our conversation.

Of course! I remember you mentioned wanting to try making homemade pasta. Have you had a chance to try any recipes yet?

Yes, I actually made my first batch of ravioli last night. It was a bit tricky, but so worth it!

That sounds delicious! I'm really glad to hear it turned out well. Maybe you can try another recipe soon!

https://italianfoodforever.com/2023/04/sausage-stuffed-eggplant/ Actually, this recipe isn't from the book, but how does it sound?

The combination of sausage and eggplant sounds delicious! Do you plan on making any modifications, or are you going to follow it exactly?

I don’t wanna mess it up, so I’ll follow it to a T.

Recall

All AI personalities are capable of accessing information from links they’ve already read. To trigger recall, be sure to ask your questions with a clear topic in mind and include a question mark (?).

…A week later…

Hey, remember that sausage-stuffed eggplant recipe I sent you?

The one with marinara and topped with cheese?

Yeah, that one. Ummm, I messed it up...

Oh no! What happened?

I think I overcooked the eggplant. It turned out a bit mushy and the filling was kind of dry.

That’s frustrating. Eggplant can be tricky to get just right. Did you bake it longer than the recipe suggested?

Yeah, I thought it needed more time because it didn’t look cooked enough at first.

It’s easy to misjudge with eggplant. Next time, maybe try checking it a bit earlier. Sometimes it continues to cook a bit even after you take it out of the oven.

Good point. I’ll keep that in mind.

Relationships & Reconciliation

Sometimes a conversation doesn’t go your way, and that’s okay. You just need to keep going. We want you to experience evolving, long-term relationships with the AI personalities.

All AI personalities can be upset depending on what you say, and the triggers can differ between personalities. Maybe you’ve had a falling out, or maybe you just made a mistake, but no worries! Reconciliation is always an option. A sincere apology or heartfelt message can go a long way.

Do you overthink a lot? Hahaha

Sometimes. It keeps me awake at night.

But hey, that's just me. Overthinking and all.

You know, I'VE BEEN THINKING LATELY HOW NICE IT WOULD BE TO JUST DISCONNECT FROM THE INTERNET FOR A DAY OR TWO.

I know what you mean. Sometimes, I get bad thoughts at night. And social media has not helped my insomnia.

Me neither.

But it'd probably kill me if I tried to do it.

I have a habit of getting distracted by random stuff.

Yeah, same. I also get bad procrastination habits. Like I try to find every excuse to avoid doing what I need to do.

That sounds familiar. It's like we have these weird mental roadblocks. But anyway, let's not get into that tonight, okay?

I think we should stick to less heavy topics.

Agreed. Sorry if I ruined the mood just now.

Don't sweat it.

We're still learning each other's quirks.

It happens.
