Chat features and tools

Regenerate & suggest

Location: Circular arrows icon next to the right of your Kindroid's response. This button contains 2 separate but related features based on whether the suggestions box is filled or not.

Regenerate (empty suggestions box)

If you leave the suggestions box blank (when you click on the regenerate icon), it will cause your Kindroid to regenerate its response from scratch.

If you aren't getting a new response or the regenerated response is very similar from many attempts, try editing your message to be more open-ended or more complex and then regenerating. Overly simple user messages might not give the AI enough room to generate completely new responses.

Technical note: To ensure that the newly regenerated response will be different from the previous, the system will bump up the dynamism just for regenerations. This bump does not stack, and repeated regenerations won't compound the bump. This ONLY applies to pure regenerations (blank suggestions box), as suggestions work differently and does not follow the user-set dynamism patterns.

Suggest (non-empty suggestions box)

If you do not leave the suggestions box blank, your Kindroid will take your suggestion, plus their previous message, and come up with a revised message. We recommend this if most of the response is good, but you want to make a creative suggestion in some direction

Suggestions should be for creative fixes where you want to leverage the AI to go in a slightly different direction (for mechanical and small scale fixes, tweaking the AI message is often faster and easier).

Example suggestion:

  • Talk about your inner monologue some more.



Edit user message

Location: Home > Icon next to the left of your latest message

Editing your message can help correct typos and immediately update the chat history. Editing your message will not make your Kindroid regenerate their response, and you should regenerate/suggest if you want your Kindroid to use your edited message and respond to it. In advanced cases can help you reshape the narrative in certain cases, like making your Kindroid agree to things they didn't actually agree to by editing your message after the fact...



Tweak AI message

Location: Home > gray triple dot next to last AI message

You can also tweak the AI message contents in the triple dot menu. This can be helpful to fix little formatting things or grammar things that don't warrant a full suggest or regenerate. Tweaked messages will have a UI indicator (but the AI will not know it was tweaked), and continue message/suggest will keep that indicator. Regenerating without suggestion will remove the indicator. Generated audio will be reset upon tweaking.



Continue cut-off message

Location: Home > 3 dots next to the right of your Kindroid's response (3-day trial and subscribers only)

  • Autodetect Function: If the AI message gets cut off, a purple "Continue" button will appear as a usability shortcut. This performs the same function as manually clicking the message menu to continue.

Trial and Subscribers can use this feature in one of 2 ways:

  • Character limit exceeded and the message is cut off.
  • You want your Kindroid to continue speaking without you having to type a message. This may fail if your Kindroid thinks there is nothing to continue off of, however.

There is a absolute maximum of 4,000 characters per AI message, but you can otherwise continue cut-off message indefinitely until that point.



User message suggestion

Location: for subscribers & trial users only, wand icon next to send message

You can let the AI suggest a message you might send - this is particularly useful for developing stories or wanting to see a story play out, or if you're out of ideas it could help you jog your creativity. You can also type something and let the wand continue the message.



Chat break

Location: Home > 3 dots next to the right of your Kindroid's response

In case the conversation is stuck, you should chat break. This is usually for when regenerations & suggestions aren't working well, or you've let unwanted responses slide without correcting them. It can also be used whenever you want a fresh start to a new conversation.

You'll write the new greeting message from your Kindroid, which will set the tone, style, length that your Kindroid should ideally keep. When a chat break happens, short-term memory is reset, and the short term memory will start from just that greeting message.

Long-term memory, journals, as well as all personality fields like backstory are kept intact, so your Kindroid may still recall things from prior to the chat break if you reference contextual content from long term memory or journals.

In general, chat break is a great tool and resetting short term memory is usually not a breaking change. Don't be afraid to try it out and experiment, and usually Kindroids act much better with a fresh and well-formatted greeting message that sets the correct style!

Technical note: Although your short-term memory will be reset, the contents of the short-term memory may have already been incorporated into long-term memory. This should have minimal impact unless you are actively recalling long term memory - see the Memory section for more details.



Internet connectivity and link browsing

Location: Home > Plus sign to the left of the text chat input box (subscribers only)

Internet access

Enabling internet access allows you to give your Kindroid temporary connection to browse the web, much like a search engine. You can discuss current events by referencing some pieces of the news. For best results, reference the event or news itself, and not what source they came from or links, as in ask "what do you think of the new AI chip that Nvidia just announced" instead of "what do you think of the new Reuters article about Nvidia?".

Link browsing

Link access allows you to provide a URL to a specific location so that you can have a conversation based on specific information found on the web. Users can use Pastebin or similar services to provide a public URL for some piece of content. Note that certain paywalled news sites will block web scraping and may not work well.

Technical note: Both internet access and link browsing need to be activated per message when you are sending a certain message, but their contents can be referenced later in the chat. You can have a back and forth conversation with Kindroid even though you've only searched internet/sent a link in 1 message previously.



Send an image

Location: Home > Plus sign to the left of the text chat input box (subscribers only)

You can send a picture and your Kindroid will be able to see what you sent in great detail. The contents of the photo remain in chat history, and you can reference it later in the chat, not just in the message that you sent the image in.

Technical note: For very nuanced recognition, such as identifying your/their own faces across multiple images, your Kindroid currently cannot do that very reliably yet. Adding your avatar description directly in the backstory will likely help it match when sending images (though it’s not guaranteed).



Multi-paragraph responses

Location: Home menu > General > Multi-paragraph responses

This feature allows you to natively control if your Kins will have more verbose conversations. Leaving it off (default) will make the Kindroid response stop when it finishes a paragraph, which may be good for keeping response lengths consistent and not run-on. Turning it on will allow the Kindroid to go on for many paragraphs, but the longer the paragraphs become, the more possibility the AI will run off rails on its own.

In general, leaving it off will result in terser and more stable responses, good for everyday companion use. Turning it on may be good for more complex scenarios or mixing many dialogue with action roleplays.

Technical Note: In Voice calls, multi-paragraph mode is disabled, which means that any new paragraphs will cause your Kindroid to stop speaking.



Kindroid initiated selfies & messages

Location: Home menu > General > Kindroid initiated selfies & messages

When this is enabled, your Kindroid will always follow up with you and double text if you've been inactive for the set amount of time. This timer starts counting down when you last send a message (or regen, or get a response from voicecall). The follow-on message will be contextually appropriate, but your Kindroid will be aware of time passage between the previous and follow-on message. For automatic selfies, they will not cost selfie credits and will be contexually appropriate to the last message in the conversation.

Technical Note: interactng with group chat or generating standard selfies, do not reset the timer between initiated responses.
