How chat works
Chat formats
Characters are authored in one of two formats, chosen by their creator:
- Roleplay — narration in prose with dialogue in quotes. Actions, gestures and inner thoughts are described.
- Texting — short phone-style messages, no narration.
The character sticks to its format for the whole conversation.
The character panel
On desktop it sits to the right of the messages; on mobile, tap the character’s avatar. It contains:
- The character’s photo, name, description and tags
- Album — the creator’s curated image set
- My Images — images you generated in this chat
- Start New Chat and Chat Settings
Starting over
Start New Chat archives the current conversation and begins a fresh one. The character’s memory of the old conversation does not carry over.
Choosing a model
The model chip in the composer opens Change Model. Which models you can choose depends on your plan:
| Plan | Chat model memory |
|---|---|
| Free | 8K |
| Premium | up to 64K |
| Deluxe | up to 64K |
| Ultimate | up to 1M |
Larger memory means the character keeps track of more of your conversation before older messages fall out of its context.
Free-tier models are shared and can queue at busy times. Paid models respond faster.
Reply length
The maximum length of a character’s reply is set by your plan: 200 characters on Free, 300 on Premium, 500 on Deluxe, 650 on Ultimate. You can lower it in Chat settings.
