Conversations

Side panel & chat settings

The seven-tab panel beside every chat — character info, gallery, scenarios, similar characters, memory, plugins, and chat settings.

Everything that isn't the message stream lives in the side panel — a seven-tab strip you open from the chat. On desktop it slides in beside the conversation; on mobile it opens as a sheet. The conversation keeps running while it's open.

The seven tabs

Tab	Icon	What's inside	Deep dive
Info	ℹ️	The character's public profile — bio, tags, creator, sample of how they talk.	Finding characters
Gallery	🖼️	The character's images: avatar, reference art, and any gallery shots the creator published.	Image guidelines
Scenarios	📖	Pre-built contexts the creator authored (e.g. "Coworker", "Rival"). Switch the framing without leaving the chat.	Scenarios
Similar	🎭	Discover other characters with related themes and personalities.	Finding characters
Memory	🧠	Manage saved facts that carry across chats and the generated summaries for this conversation.	Memory
Plugins	🧩	Plugins active in this chat — prompt injectors, tools, and interactive buttons.	Plugins
Settings	⚙️	Reply, voice, experience, and chat-management settings. Covered below.	This page

Memory views

The Memory tab separates two kinds of context that used to appear in different places:

Learn from Chat stores facts about you, the character, or your relationship. These can carry across conversations.
Conversation Memory shows the generated summaries used for older parts of the current conversation. You can edit a summary to correct what the AI remembers.

Chat Settings (⚙️)

The Settings tab is grouped into four sections. Only one section opens at a time, and its collapsed header shows the current key values.

Each row has a scope label: This character, This conversation, This device, or Account. Check it before changing a setting when you want to know whether the change follows you to another chat or device.

Replies & Generation

Setting	What it does
AI Model	Opens the model picker. Each model shows quality (real user A/B win-rate), speed (recent latency), and price multiplier. Choosing a model →
Reasoning Mode	Let the model think step-by-step before replying — higher quality, slower, more tokens. Some models are always-on. Reasoning mode →
NSFW Content Intensity	Three levels — Literary, Moderate, Explicit. Hidden when the creator has defined a custom NSFW prompt for the character.
Narration Style	First person ("I"), Third person ("he/she/they"), or AI Decide.
Response Length	Choose automatic, short, medium, or long replies.

Voice & Input

Setting	What it does
Voice	Pick the TTS voice used when messages are read aloud. Free voices use Edge TTS; Premium voices use MiniMax. Tap to preview before applying.
Voice Studio	Open the tools for cloning, designing, and managing custom voices.
Auto-play Voice	When voice mode is on, automatically play TTS for new replies. Turn it off to keep voice-style replies without audio — you can still tap any message to play it. Voice call mode always plays audio regardless.
Voice Auto-Send	Send transcribed voice input immediately instead of placing it in the composer for editing.

Chat Experience

Setting	What it does
Reply Suggestions	Toggle the smart-suggestion chips above the input. Smart suggestions →
First Response Enhancement	Show or hide the six-button panel under the first AI reply. First response →
Alternative Response	Allow the occasional side-by-side dual-model first reply. Dual comparison →
Reasoning Pane	Show the AI's thinking pane, and whether it auto-expands.
Message Appearance	Adjust message fonts, colors, and bubble styles on this device.
Chat Background	Choose a character-specific background, blur, opacity, and bubble spacing.

Your interface language is an account preference and lives in Account Settings → Language, rather than inside one chat.

Chat Management

Action	What it does
Chat History	Browse every past conversation you've had with this character.
Start New Session	Begin a fresh thread while carrying over the context and memories from the current one — useful when a chat gets very long.
Import Chat	Import a conversation from a JSONL file (SillyTavern-compatible).
Export Chat	Export this conversation as JSONL (SillyTavern-compatible) or plain text, for backup or sharing.
Convert to Novel	Turn the current conversation into a generated novel.
Delete Chat	Permanently delete the current conversation and its messages. This action sits at the bottom in the danger area.
