Characters & chat
Give your roleplay a place to begin
Our characters can take part in fictional scenes you lead through conversation. Set the roles, the situation and the tone, then let the exchange develop one choice at a time.
Use four details in your first prompt
A useful opening identifies who the character is, who you are, where the scene happens and what has just changed. Add a style instruction only when it matters, such as keeping replies dialogue-led or leaving your actions to you.
You run a small radio station and I am your producer. Our interview guest has cancelled ten minutes before the show. Stay in character, give me one practical option at a time and ask what I want to do next. Do not decide my actions for me.
Make a correction instead of a competing scene
If a reply invents the wrong location or relationship, state the correction directly. For example, remind the character that the interview is live tonight, not tomorrow, and continue from the last agreed event.
Adding a completely new setting every time a detail goes wrong can make the conversation harder to follow. Keep a short recap of the active situation when you are continuing a longer scene.
Character mode and visual style are not the same switch
A realistic portrait describes appearance. A chat-mode control describes the conversation. For supported custom characters, the three-dot chat menu includes Switch to Roleplay Mode; the documented switch is permanent for that character.
Read the confirmation before changing the mode. Do not assume that you can undo it just by asking the character to return to an earlier personality.
Keep the participants and boundaries clear
Use adult fictional participants and tell the character what kind of interaction you want. A roleplay instruction does not override our content rules or authorize using another person's private information.
When you want to branch a story, use the supported clone control rather than deleting the original. When you want to stop a scene, say so and change the subject or leave the conversation.
Questions and answers
What is a good Candy AI roleplay prompt?
Name both roles, give the scene one immediate situation and state how you want the character to reply. A small problem with a clear next decision is easier to continue than a long list of unrelated instructions.
Can I stop the character deciding my actions?
Ask it to describe its own character and surroundings while leaving your speech and decisions to you. Restate that instruction if the scene begins to drift.
Can I switch a custom character back after entering Roleplay Mode?
The documented Switch to Roleplay Mode control is permanent for the supported custom character. Review that choice before confirming it.
