Chatting

The chat page has four main components to it.
The first message is whatever greeting the creator made for the bot. However, you can hover over this in order to view some buttons above the message. These buttons are Edit, Copy, and Generate Dynamic Intro. The last option, the sparkles, will use AI to pull from the bot guts and any assigned Attachments to come up with a new message. If you're beginning a chat with an assigned Scenario Attachment, you'll want to do this!
Changing the models affects the type of message you get. Keep in mind that some models excel at some things and not others, have different types of narration, etc. Next to a message (that is not the greeting) you can hit the refresh button in order to regenerate the message. If you switched models, this will use the new model. You can jump between generations using the arrows below the message to the left.
The arrows on the bottom right of the message is the Continue button. This will expand upon the current message, though it does frequently mess up the formatting a bit. Keep in mind that this does not count toward the message count on the bot.
At the bottom of the page, over by the blue button, is a little book with a person on it. This is where you can easily edit and switch between personas during chat.
Username: This is what the bot will refer to you as in narration and when saying your name, unless they've given you a nickname.
Tagline: This is a field not read by the LLM. This is for you to be able to organize your personas, like "For Royal RP", "For Fantasy", etc.
Description: This is the details of your persona. You can do this in prose or list format, either is fine. There is no character limit, but keep in mind that this does stay in the context memory, so the more you have in here, the quicker you will run over the context memory. I also suggest not putting persona secrets in this box. For example, if you put in there that your persona is an assassin, the bot will most likely know you are an assassin even when they shouldn't.
Set Persona As Default: This is how you actually use the persona. Every chat will default to this persona unless you hit the "Character's Default" button, which is bot-wide, not Variant specific. If you have multiple personas, make sure you are switching the Default when jumping from chat to chat.
The side panel can be open and closed by hitting the little arrow on the far right of the screen.
Clear Chats: This lets you delete multiple messages at once. Turn this on and a small empty box will appear above the pfps of the bot and you. Click those, hit the delete button that appears next to the Send button at the bottom of the screen, and then toggle it back off.
Streaming: This lets you view the text as it's loading in. Turning this off gives you an empty box until it has finished the response, and then it will appear all at once. Currently there is a bug with this if you have it off that only shows a portion of the reply, so I recommend leaving this on.
Fricc Mode: This is a 'quick goon' button. This makes the bot very horny, and also seems to make aggressive, mean traits more prominent. I do not recommend leaving this on all the time if you are trying to do an actual roleplay.
Response Style: There are three response styles which affect both the length and the detail of the messages. Concise gives the shortest, less detailed messages, and it gets longer and more detailed as you go. You can pair this with the Output Tokens explained in Model Settings to get longer, less detailed messages, or shorter, more detailed messages. Play with it!
This is a strong field that you can use to manipulate the chat, the scenario, and the memories. I do not recommend leaving a lot in here all the time, only put in what you need in that scene. If you notice the bot forgetting something such as a past conversation, the current location, what clothes they're wearing, etc, toss it in here for a few messages and then delete it once it's back on track.
Persist is a toggle that saves this field if you refresh or leave and come back to the chat on your current device. Keep in mind that this currently makes it stay the same across all chats with that specific bot, including the Variants. If you're talking to multiple Variants, I suggest turning this off.
If a creator has this field hidden, you will not be able to see anything in this box. If they don't have it hidden, currently you can only see a few lines of information before it ... off into nothing. You can go find their bot on the creator's profile to view the bot profile to view the entire unhidden field.
This is where you can assign attachments such as Scenarios, System Prompts, and UBJs to your chat. You can view how to do so on Attachments.
This is where you can jump to all of your chats with this specific bot. This counts all Variants for the bot. The one with the latest sent message should appear at the top. The text is defaulted to whatever the last message was, but if you hit the edit button to the right, you can rename this to something more convenient.
The sun icon lets you change your theme. There are a handful of defaults to choose from, but you can also make your own. Information on that is found on Themes. The icon next to it is the share button, which gives you the url to the bot. The chat bubble is to start a new chat. The gear brings up a small window.
This is the number of messages that the bot and you have sent within this specific chat.
This lets you switch to a different chat with a different Variant. If the bot only has the default, then it will only show one card. You can hover over the card of your choice to view the Creator Memo for it. You switch to the Variant you want by clicking the check mark up at the top right of the card.
This brings up the window for Models and Model Settings.
Basically this means that it's going to start forgetting older details. It's pretty recommended that you start a new chat if you notice that it's forgetting a lot or that the quality has degraded after this pop up. You can ask the bot in ooc: to give you a comprehensive summary of the plot so far, make sure to turn your output tokens up, then copy that, start a new chat, edit the greeting, and plop it in there.
Different tiers, and the models within those tiers, have different context memory. The context memory gets filled up by the permanent tokens before you even begin chatting: the description + personality + system prompts + always active system prompts fields of the bots, and your persona information.
The rest of it is filled by the messages sent, and is dependent on how long said messages are. So if you like the bot sending longer messages, you'll reach context limit sooner.
But you can click out of the pop up window and ignore it until you start noticing actual issues, and can try to mitigate the forgetting by, when you notice it forgets something, putting it in the always active system prompts box in chat, regen the message until it remembers, then deleting it from the always active system prompt box and continuing.
This is where you can view the Lorebooks that are natively attached to a bot, and add your own. Currently you can only add your own Lorebooks you have created, which is explained on . Each bot can have 3 Lorebooks natively attached + an additional slot just for you.
