Characters & chat
Start a Candy AI character conversation
Choose a companion, open the conversation and give the character something specific to respond to. You can build a story or simply talk, with separate controls for supported media requests.
Make the opening easy to answer
Name the setting or topic and ask one question. If you are roleplaying, identify your own role before asking the character to act. You do not need to script both sides of the conversation.
A practical opener could be: We are meeting at a quiet bookshop after work. Ask me what I have been reading, keep your replies conversational and let me answer before changing the subject.
Ask for the pace you want
Say whether you prefer short dialogue, more description or a question at the end of each reply. A character's established personality and your instructions both affect the exchange.
If a reply gets a detail wrong, correct the detail and continue from the current scene. You can request a different response where regeneration is offered rather than adding the unwanted event to your story.
Keep text and media spending separate
Our paid text-chat allowance is distinct from the tokens used by media features. An image request, voice feature or video control can use tokens even when ordinary text chat remains available.
The Ask menu includes an image-generation control for supported chats. Turning off image generation changes that image mode; it does not make every other media action free.
Know what a reset changes
A reset and a deletion are not ways to tidy a conversation without consequences. Reset Chat starts a fresh interaction, and Delete Chat removes the thread. Keep the conversation you want to continue before using either control.
A cloned conversation is a branch of an existing history. It can be useful when a supported account offers cloning and you want a different story direction without changing the original thread.
Questions and answers
Does text chat use my media tokens?
For subscribers, ordinary text chat is separate from media-token spending. Images, video, voice and other supported token actions have their own costs.
Can I ask for longer replies?
You can ask for more scene detail or a particular reply structure. A conversational request is not a guaranteed character-count setting or an increase to the model's context window.
Can I clear a chat and keep all its memory?
Do not treat Reset Chat or Delete Chat as a history-only cleanup that preserves everything. Choose carefully before resetting or deleting an interaction you want to continue.
