  • Top P (0.0-1.0): Limits token selection to top percentage - lower values maintain focus, higher values increase variety
  • Top K (0-100): Maximum token choices considered - 0 disables, 1 only considers most likely token, higher values increase options
  • Min P (0.0-1.0): Minimum probability threshold - discards tokens below threshold, higher values strongly restrict output
  • Frequency Penalty (-2.0-2.0): Reduces repetition of frequently used tokens - positive values discourage reuse, negative values encourage repetition
  • Presence Penalty (-2.0-2.0): Penalizes repeated tokens regardless of frequency - positive values reduce repetition, negative values increase repetition
  • Repetition Penalty (0.0-2.0): Reduces repetitive loops - values >1.0 reduce repetition, too high may cause incoherence
  • Top A (0.0-1.0): Dynamic token filtering based on most likely token probability - provides finer control than Top-P by adapting per step

Browse Discover — the main way to find personas:
  1. Open Discover: Go to the Discover page from your main navigation
  2. Persona Catalog tab: Browse public personas created by the community — search by name/description, sort (Newest, Oldest, Recently Updated, Most Liked, Most Joined), and filter by Gender or Tags via the "Filters" button
  3. Preview before joining: Click any persona card to see its full description, tags, showcase images, and activity stats before deciding
  4. Join with one click: Click "Join Persona" on the preview page to add it straight to your own collection — setup required
  5. Gallery Showcase tab: Browse standout images and videos published by the community, and jump to a persona's preview from any image whose persona is public. Any video on this wall — yours or someone else's — can be extended into a longer clip with one click
💡 Benefits: Browse, preview, and join in a few clicks — setup needed for anything that's public.
Optional: Join via Code (for personas that aren't public)

If a friend wants to share a persona they haven't published to Discover, they can send you its join code instead:

  1. Get Join Code: Ask the creator for their persona's join code (found in persona details)
  2. Join Process:
    • Navigate to the Join Persona section
    • Enter the join code provided by the persona creator
    • Review the persona details and settings
    • Click "Join Persona" to add it to your collection
  3. Use Templates: Browse pre-made templates for common use cases
  4. Customization: Modify joined personas to fit your needs (name, settings, etc.)

Sharing a Persona:
  • Publish to Discover: Click Persona on the side bar, go to "My Public Personas" tab and click the "Publish" button to go through the flow to write a public blurb, pick tags, and choose showcase images — this makes it public and searchable in the Persona Catalog for anyone to find, join, and like
  • Share your Join Code: For a private share with no public listing, just send someone your persona's join code — they enter it under Join Via Code option in Discover page to add it to their own collection
  • Take it down anytime: Remove a published persona from Discover without deleting it — it stays in your own collection, just no longer publicly listed
Sharing Media (Images & Videos):
  • Feature in Gallery: From your personal Gallery, open any image or video and click "Feature in Gallery" — it's published to the public Discover → Gallery Showcase wall instantly
  • Showcase on your Persona's Preview: While publishing a persona, pick up to 6 images from your gallery as its showcase carousel — these appear on the persona's own Discover preview page, and on the Gallery Showcase wall too
  • Un-share anytime: Un-feature an image from your Gallery, or change your picks in the showcase selector during Publish, to take it back down
💡 Tip: Featuring media in the Gallery Showcase and showcasing images on a persona's preview don't cost you gallery space — sharing your best work is always free.

How Persona Memory Works:

Personas build and maintain conversation memory to provide contextual, personalized responses. Memory includes conversation history, user preferences, and learned patterns.

🟢 Basic Memory
  • Retains recent conversations
  • Basic context awareness
  • Standard response coherence
  • Included in all plans
🟡 Extended Memory
  • Longer conversation history
  • Better context retention
  • Enhanced personalization
  • Available in Pro+ plans
🟠 Longest Memory
  • Maximum context retention
  • Deep personalization
  • Highly coherent long conversations
  • Premium plan feature
Memory Management:
  • Automatic Learning: Personas learn from every interaction
  • Context Preservation: Remembers user preferences and patterns
  • Conversation Continuity: Maintains thread across sessions
  • Memory Limits: Based on your subscription tier

Access and Manage Your Generated Media:
  1. Navigate to Gallery: Go to the Gallery page from your main navigation
  2. View Your Media: Browse all images and videos generated by your personas in a responsive grid layout
  3. Media Details: Each media item shows:
    • Creation Date: When the media was generated (in your local time)
    • Persona Name: Which persona created the media
    • Media Type: Image or video indicator
    • Model: Which generation tier made it (e.g. Ultra Quality, Fast Consistent, or Fast/High for videos)
    • Style & Prompt: The art style and the actual prompt used, so you can see exactly what produced it
  4. Interactive Viewing:
    • Click to View: Click any media to open it in a full-screen modal
    • Navigate Gallery: Use left/right arrows to browse through your collection
    • Auto-play Videos: Videos automatically play when viewed
  5. Media Management:
    • Download Media: Save any image or video to your device
    • Delete Media: Remove unwanted media from your gallery
    • Feature in Gallery: Publish any image or video to the public Discover → Gallery Showcase wall with one click.
    • Extend Video: Turn any video into a longer scene — click "Extend", optionally describe what happens next, and pick a length (5, 8, or 10s). Works on your own Gallery videos and on any video featured on the public Discover Gallery Showcase, including other users'. Extending someone else's video bills your account and saves the new clip to your own Gallery — their original is untouched.
    • Load More: Paginated loading to handle large collections
📸 Gallery Features:
  • All generated media is permanently stored and accessible anytime
  • Media remains available even after persona conversations end
  • Use the gallery to track your persona's creative output over time
  • Download favorites or share them with others
💡 Sharing is free: Images and videos you've showcased on a persona's Discover listing, or featured to the public Gallery Showcase, do not count toward your gallery storage limit. Publishing your best work never costs you space — it's the opposite of a penalty.

Monitor and Manage AI-Scheduled Messages:
  1. Navigate to Scheduled Messages: Go to the Scheduled Messages page from your main navigation
  2. View Message Statistics: See comprehensive stats including:

  4. Understanding Scheduling:

  • Understand your persona's communication patterns and frequency
  • Use statistics to optimize persona settings for better engagement

Chat with Multiple Personas at Once:
  1. Create a Group: Go to your persona list and click "New Group Chat". Select 2-5 personas to include in the group.
  2. Name Your Group: Give the group a name so you can find it later.
  3. Start Talking: Send a message like a normal chat — the AI orchestrator decides which persona responds first, then the conversation flows naturally between personas.
  4. Selective Replies: Use the persona selector to choose which specific personas should respond if you want to direct your message at certain members.
How the Orchestrator Works:
  • Automatic Turn-Taking: The AI decides which persona speaks next based on the conversation context and each persona's unique personality.
  • Multi-Turn Responses: After the user sends a message, 2-4 personas will typically respond in sequence before the conversation pauses for your next input.
  • No Repetition: The same persona won't speak twice in a row, ensuring a natural back-and-forth dynamic.
Group Chat Features:
  • Persona Reactions: Personas react to each other's messages, not just the user's — creating lively, multi-party conversations.
  • Media Sharing: Attach images and files to group messages — all personas can see and reference them.
  • Image/Video Generation: Request media from a specific persona in the group using the persona selector.
  • Bubble Color: Each persona's messages in the group chat use their individual bubble color setting, making it easy to tell who is speaking.
  • Reset Group Chat: Clear all messages and start fresh if you want a new conversation.
Persona Behavior in Groups:
  • respondsImmediately: This setting is not checked in group chats — all personas respond immediately through the orchestrator regardless of this toggle.
  • respondsOutOfHours: Also not checked in group chats — personas participate regardless of their active hours settings.
  • Private Knowledge: Each persona only sees messages sent in the group chat or their own private messages. They cannot see what you say to other personas in private conversations.
Group Chat Tips:
  • Group chats work best with personas that have distinct, complementary personalities — contrast drives more interesting conversations.
  • Use the persona selector (pills next to each member's name) to direct your message at specific personas or force a targeted reply.
  • Group chat messages count toward your usage limits just like private messages.

Access Lore & Analytics:
  1. Navigate to Lore: Go to any persona and click the "Lore" tab
  2. The Lore Book: Your persona's long-term memory — a set of individual entries instead of one running summary:
    • Auto-remembered entries: As you chat, your persona periodically reviews the recent conversation and writes its own entries — grouping related facts under a title, with keywords it picks so the memory resurfaces at the right moment. These are marked "Remembered by [persona name]".
    • Your own entries: Click Add Memory to write one yourself — a Title, optional comma-separated Keywords, and the Content to remember. You can also seed a few when you first create a persona.
    • Keywords: An entry only gets pulled into the conversation when one of its keywords is mentioned. Leave keywords blank and the entry is always active instead.
    • Editing & deleting: Every entry — yours or the persona's own — can be edited, toggled on/off, or deleted (with a confirmation prompt) from the same list.
    • Memory Limit: A usage gauge shows how much of your plan's character budget the lore book is using. Going over budget doesn't delete anything — it just disables the oldest untouched auto-remembered entries until you're back under the limit.
  3. Conversation Analytics: View real-time metrics including:
    • Total Messages Sent: Track how many messages your persona has sent
    • Average Response Time: Monitor response speed in seconds
    • Active Days: See how many days your persona has been active
  4. Message Timeline: Interactive chart showing message patterns over time with hourly, daily, and monthly views
  5. Sentiment Analysis:
    • Emotion Gauge: Visual sentiment meter showing overall conversation tone
    • Dominant Emotion: Primary emotion detected (happy, sad, angry, confused, etc.) with confidence scores
    • Emotion Breakdown: Detailed badges showing frequency of each detected emotion
    • Message Count: Total messages analyzed for sentiment
  6. Gamification & Streaks:
    • Current Streak: Consecutive days of active conversation
    • Total Messages: Cumulative message count for milestone tracking
    • Next Milestone: Progress toward message count achievements
    • Achievement Badges: Earned badges for engagement and activity levels
🧠 Lore & Memory Help:
  • Analytics update automatically as conversations continue - more activity = richer insights
  • Give entries specific keywords - vague or overly common ones cause them to surface (or stay silent) more than you'd expect
  • Auto-remembered entries can be edited or deleted just like your own, but a persona may recreate one on a similar topic later if it's still relevant
  • Sentiment analysis detects 15+ emotions including happiness, anger, confusion, and excitement
  • Gamification encourages regular interaction and tracks long-term engagement
  • Monitor the memory limit gauge to stay within your plan's lore book budget

🖼️ Images
  • Request Methods: You can request an image from the AI in chat or use the Creation Lab
  • Editing: You can edit images by uploading an image and edit request to the AI in chat or using the Creation Lab
  • Generation Cost: Images cost between $0.003 - $0.015 per image depending on model and complexity. (Image edits cost more and take longer)
  • Server Load: Sometimes the first image you make will cost more and take longer due to server unloading and reloading, but subsequent image will be faster and cost less.
  • Persona Matching: Images will try to match your AI persona's appearance if you directly ask for a picture with them in it
  • General Images: The AI can also create general images not related to your persona
🎥 Videos
  • Request Methods: You can request videos from the AI in chat or use the Creation Lab
  • Generation Cost: Videos cost approximately ~$0.05 - ~$0.10 per video depending on resolution and length — the displayed price before generation is an estimate, not a guarantee. Videos generated without a starting image include an additional image generation cost ($0.003-$0.015) on top of the video cost.
  • Quality: Choose Fast (lower cost) or High (better detail) — configured per persona in advanced settings
  • Length: Choose 5, 8, or 10 seconds. Longer videos cost more regardless of resolution
  • Persona Matching: Videos will try to match your AI persona's appearance if you directly ask for videos with them in it
  • General Videos: The AI can also create general videos not related to your persona
  • Motion & Physics: Videos are generated with strong prompt adherence and realistic physics — motion, weight, and interactions follow your instructions and look natural
  • Extending Videos: Any video — yours in the Gallery, or any video on the Discover → Gallery Showcase wall — can be extended into a longer clip. Click "Extend", optionally describe what happens next, and choose a length (5, 8, or 10s)
🎯 Helpful tips to make great media!
  • Be explicit about content type: Clearly state if you want an "image" or "video" - the AI may not generate anything without this
  • Specify persona or general: Example: "send me a picture of you" for persona images, or "send me a picture of [subject]" for general images
  • Don't edit what's not there: When editing uploaded images, only modify elements that actually exist in the original
  • Be clear about video elements: For video generation, it help to specify speed, angle, tone, and actions.
  • For videos try images first: To get the most accurate results it can often be good start with an image and convert that to video. Try asking for an image first.
📝 Example Commands
✅ Correct:
"Send me an image of yourself smiling"
"Edit this photo to change the girls hair color from brown to blonde"
"Turn this photo of a man into a video where he is waving"
❌ Avoid:
"Can I get a pic" (too vague, AI won't understand what to make)
"Edit this photo to make the dog black" (dog doesn't exist)
"Make a video of the person dancing" (from a sitting photo)
💰 Cost Awareness:
  • Each image generation costs usage and counts toward your monthly limits
  • Video generation costs more than images but provides richer interactive content
  • You can change image settings in the advanced setting of each persona. This will change whether image should focus on quality or referencing the profile picture.
  • You can change video resolution (Fast / High) and length (5–10 seconds) in the advanced settings of each persona. Both directly affect cost.
  • Monitor your usage in the Dashboard to avoid unexpected charges

Account Profile Settings

Your profile settings live under Account → Profile. Filling them in is optional, but the more you provide the more your AI personas can personalize conversations — provided you enable Uses Personal Info on each persona.

Username

Your login identifier. It is displayed as read-only and cannot be changed after registration.

Nickname Public

The public display name shown as the creator on any personas you publish to Discover. Does not affect AI conversations.

Time Zone Always Active

This setting is always used regardless of the "Uses Personal Info" toggle. It tells the AI what local time it is for you, so good morning/night messages and check-ins are sent at the right time. It also makes the AI aware of your local date and time in conversation. Defaults to UTC if not set.

Preferred Language

When "Uses Personal Info" is enabled, the AI will attempt to respond in this language if it differs from English.

Topic Interests

Subjects you enjoy (e.g. gaming, cooking, music). When "Uses Personal Info" is on, personas reference these to steer conversations and check-ins toward topics you actually care about.

Profession & Hobbies

Shared with the AI so it can relate to your work and free-time activities in conversation (e.g. asking about your day, referencing your field).

Location

Your city or region. Lets the AI mention local context naturally — weather small talk, cultural references, or relevant suggestions.

Birthday

Lets the AI know your age and wish you a happy birthday on the right day when "Uses Personal Info" is enabled.

The "Uses Personal Info" Persona Toggle

Each individual persona has a Uses Personal Info setting (found in the persona's settings under Feature Toggles). When enabled, your profile data — name, gender, preferred language, topic interests, location, profession, hobbies, and birthday — is passed to that persona's AI as background context.

  • The AI uses this as quiet reference material. It will not randomly recite your profile back to you — it uses the info naturally to feel more aware of who you are.
  • This is a per-persona setting. You can enable it on some personas and leave it off on others.
  • Time Zone is always active and does not require this toggle to be on.
  • Fields you leave blank are simply omitted — you do not need to fill in every field for the feature to be useful.
Privacy note: Profile data is only shared with the AI when you explicitly enable "Uses Personal Info" on a persona. It is never sent to third-party services and is protected under the same AES-256 encryption as your messages.
Appearance & Themes

Go to Manage Account → Themes to pick the site's visual theme — Default, Original, Light, or Dark. This is purely cosmetic and only changes how the site looks for you; it has no effect on your personas or their behavior.
