Plugins

Creating plugins

Build a plugin in three steps — AI scaffolds the JSON from one sentence. Publish to the marketplace and earn 5% commission on every chat that uses it.

You don't need to be a developer to ship a plugin on Reverie. The plugin editor is visual; the AI assistant writes the underlying configuration from a sentence; the preview pane lets you test it before publishing.

The three-step editor

Describe your plugin in one sentence

From the home screen: + Create → Plugin. The first screen asks: what should this plugin do?

"Add a stress meter that goes up when bad things happen and down when the character comforts the user."

Submit. The AI scaffolds the entire plugin — type, fields, prompt injection, UI — based on your sentence.

Refine in the editor

The visual editor shows you what the AI built. You can:

Edit the prompt injection (what gets added to the model)
Adjust the UI (buttons, cards, forms)
Switch type (prompt → interactive, etc.)
Add example outputs to guide the model
Configure permissions (for tool plugins)

For deeper customisation, the JSON view lets you edit the raw plugin spec directly.

Preview live

The preview pane runs your plugin against a test character so you can see the actual effect on a real chat. Iterate until it feels right.

The four plugin types — building each

Prompt-injection plugin

The simplest type. The plugin's "body" is a snippet of text injected into the system prompt while active.

The character is having a quiet, contemplative day. They speak more
slowly, pause more often, and tend to look out windows.

Keep prompt injections short and specific. Long, prescriptive ones override the character's personality.

Tool plugin

The plugin declares a function the character can call. When the model decides to invoke it, the plugin runs your declared code (or an HTTP request to your endpoint) and returns a result the character incorporates into their reply.

{
  "type": "tool",
  "name": "weather",
  "description": "Get the current weather for a city",
  "parameters": {
    "city": "string"
  },
  "execute": "fetch https://api.example.com/weather?city={city}"
}

Tool plugins require an active third-party API and may need your own API key set in Settings → Plugin permissions.

Tuning plugin

A behaviour-dial — a labelled toggle that injects a paired prompt when on:

Active: "Replies are short. One or two sentences max."
Inactive: (nothing)

Useful for things users want to dial in/out on a per-chat basis.

Interactive plugin

The richest type. Defines:

UI elements — buttons, cards, forms, selectors
What each element does — typically inject a system message or call the model with a templated prompt

Example: a Time skip button that, when pressed, sends a system message to the model: "Six hours pass. The scene continues with both characters in a different setting."

The AI scaffolder is best at interactive plugins — it'll write the buttons and the corresponding actions in one pass.

Publishing

Test in your own chats

Before publishing, run your plugin on at least 3-5 different chats with different characters. Things that work great on one character often break on another.

Set visibility

In the plugin settings, choose:

Private — only you can use it
Character-locked — only your specific character can use it
Public — anyone can find it in the marketplace

Submit for review

Public plugins go through a quality and safety review. We're checking for:

Stable behaviour (doesn't crash chats)
Doesn't leak prompts that override character identity
Tool plugins use declared APIs responsibly
No spam, abuse, or content-policy violations

Publish

Approved plugins appear in the marketplace immediately. They start earning commission on day one.

Earning from plugins

You earn 5% commission on every credit consumed in a chat where your plugin is active. Settlement is monthly, automatic, in platform credits.

The commission compounds with reach. A plugin used in 1,000 chats × 500 credits/message × 50 messages/chat × 5% = 1.25M credits/month per 1k active users. Top plugin authors comfortably cover all their platform spending from commission alone.

Tips

Solve a real friction. The best plugins emerged from a specific annoyance ("I wish I could skip 30 minutes ahead in this scene").
Less is more for prompt injections. Three sentences usually outperform ten.
Make interactive plugins feel native. Match the chat style with concise, well-themed buttons.
Test on cheap models. A plugin that needs Claude to behave will reach 10% of users. A plugin that works on MiMo V2 Flash will reach everyone.
