First-response enhancement

A six-button panel that tunes the opening reply without making you start over.

The first AI reply in a conversation sets the tone for everything that follows. If it's too short, too clinical, too modest — the rest of the conversation tends to inherit those traits. Rather than make you keep regenerating, Reverie gives you six one-tap rewrites that lean the reply in a specific direction.

Each enhancement button maps to a manual edit creators were doing repeatedly. Why type "make it more atmospheric" when one button does it. Read the design rationale →

How to use it

The enhancement panel appears automatically under the character's first reply. It's only visible on the first exchange — once you send your second message, it disappears.

Tap any of the six buttons. The reply is regenerated with the corresponding nudge:

ButtonAdds
+ DialogueMore spoken lines, more conversation
+ EnvironmentSensory description of the setting, atmosphere
+ ActionWhat the character is physically doing
+ EmotionInternal feelings, expressed and hinted
+ SensorySmells, textures, sounds, body language
+ IntimateSlower pace, closer physical/emotional distance

Tap as many as you like, one after another. Each builds on the previous. If you go too far, hit ↺ regenerate to roll back to a plain version.

When to use which

  • Cold opener? Add Dialogue to get them talking back.
  • Reply that sets the scene flatly? Add Environment for atmosphere.
  • AI sat in a chair and said hi? Add Action.
  • They said something nice but it felt hollow? Add Emotion.
  • Sex scene that read like a stage direction? Add Sensory and Intimate.

Pricing

Each tap is one regeneration — same per-token credit cost as any other reply. No surcharge.

Subscribers can use enhancements freely as part of their monthly allowance. Free-tier users can still use them, paying credits as normal.

After the first exchange

The panel disappears, but the same intent is achievable with manual prompts:

  • "Add more dialogue to your last message."
  • "Slow down and describe the room."
  • "Show me what she's doing with her hands while she says that."

Or use a prompt-injection plugin like Setting Patch for a recurring tone shift across all replies. Plugins overview →
