Reply suggestions
The chips above the input — when they appear, what they cost, how to turn them off.
Reply suggestions are short drafts of your next message, shown as chips above the composer. They're written from the conversation so far, so they tend to pick up threads the character just opened.
In character or narrator mode, use the wand to request three guidance ideas. Tap one to generate the reply; long-press to edit while keeping the target and commands. Automatic suggestions apply only to self mode.
When they appear
When enabled, a batch appears after a new character reply finishes streaming. Free suggestions are an introduction, not a daily allowance. What they cost
They do not appear:
- on a brand-new chat, before anything has been said
- while a voice call is open
- while a reply is streaming
Switching modes, characters or commands clears old suggestions without starting another request. Guidance ideas take pacing and custom requirements into account; length and viewpoint still control the final reply. Add a character uses a separate tool flow, so suggestions are unavailable while it is selected.
They also do not refresh as you type. The chips you're looking at were written when the reply landed.
The chips on a brand-new chat are something else. Those come from the moment you started from, or from the opening the creator wrote, and they are not generated for you.
Using one
| Gesture | Result |
|---|---|
| Tap | Sends your message in self mode; generates the reply in guidance mode |
| Long-press (about half a second) | Puts it in the composer so you can edit it first |
A tap sends. It does not drop the text in the box for review — that's the long-press. Any slash-command chips or custom directive sitting in the composer are applied to the message you just sent.
What they're based on
The request carries the last 30 messages, the conversation's summaries, your active persona, the scenario or moment the chat started from, the character's memories, and the NSFW intensity set for the chat. Your history is the primary source — not just the character's profile.
If there's an unsent draft in the box when a batch is requested, the model works from that draft instead of starting cold. The Get suggestions wand button is the deliberate way to use this: write half a line, tap the wand, and the chips come back as variations on it.
What they cost
Your first 5 batches are free in total, whether you have a subscription or not. The allowance never resets. Guests also receive a one-time allowance for their browser identity; signing in uses the account’s separate allowance. Each batch is one generation of three suggestions. Later account batches use credits. The bots' suggestion commands, /reply-suggestions on Discord and /suggest on Telegram, draw on the same free batches before they use credits.
After the final free batch, automatic suggestions turn off once. That batch stays visible until you use it or leave the chat. A callout points to the wand, with Got it and Continue automatically (uses credits) for accounts or a sign-in option for guests. Keeping them on enables paid automatic suggestions. The pending callout and its dismissal sync across devices for accounts, so closing the page does not lose it. Tapping a suggestion adds no charge beyond the reply it triggers.
An automatic paid batch leaves about one reply’s worth of credits on the default model untouched. If there are too few credits, automatic suggestions pause until a top-up or page reload; there is no daily reset. The notice offers Get credits. You can still request suggestions manually with the wand. Credits
Turning them off
New accounts and first-time guests start with automatic suggestions on. Accounts that existed before this change start with them off; old browser settings are not imported. One switch covers all characters. Account settings sync across devices; guests keep their setting in this browser.
Side panel → Settings → Chat Experience → Chat Reply Suggestions
The Get suggestions wand sits in the composer's right-hand button group in every chat that isn't new, so you can pull a batch on demand whether automatic suggestions are on, off or paused; signed out, it asks you to sign in first. While one is loading the wand becomes a stop control.
