Characters & chat
Give your character conversation a starting point
Ask a companion about a topic or invite it into an imagined moment. Begin with something it can answer, then continue through the replies. Supported pictures, voice and video use their own actions rather than the ordinary text exchange.
Topics in this article
Write an opening the companion can answer
Say what you want to discuss and leave the response to the character. For a fictional situation, introduce who you are playing and where the scene begins. Supply your part of the exchange rather than scripting both sides.
For example: We have arrived before our evening pottery class begins. Ask what piece I would like to make, using a relaxed tone. Wait until I answer before we move into the lesson.
Ask for the kind of reply you prefer
You can request mostly dialogue, more scene description or a question to close the response. State the preference without rebuilding the character's entire definition each time; its existing traits still contribute to how the exchange sounds.
When an answer gets a detail wrong, give the correction and continue from the intended point. If regeneration is offered, you can try an alternative response instead of treating an unwanted event as part of the story.
Use media controls apart from your text allowance
Subscription text access and media tokens serve different purposes. An image request, voice action or video can carry its own token cost while ordinary subscriber messages remain available, so do not treat them as the same allowance.
In a supported chat, Ask contains the image-generation setting. Turning that mode off affects its image features; it does not cancel the charges attached to audio, video or other token-funded options.
Keep a thread, start over or try a branch
Stay in the existing conversation when you want to retain its history. Reset Chat begins the interaction afresh, and Delete Chat removes the thread. Neither simply hides old messages while leaving the rest of the experience unchanged.
Use cloning, when available to your account, to test a different continuation. The branch receives the history up to that moment and then proceeds on its own, independently of the original conversation.
Your questions
Will sending subscriber text messages spend media tokens?
We keep ordinary subscriber text chat separate from the media-token balance. A selected image, voice, video or other token-funded feature can still have its own charge.
Can I ask for longer or more descriptive responses?
Tell the companion the format and level of detail you want. This guides the reply rather than setting a guaranteed length or changing how much context the conversation can use.
Is there a history-clearing control that preserves everything?
Do not expect reset or deletion to remove only the visible messages while retaining all memory. Leave the existing thread intact when the continuity of that conversation matters.
