AI characters in depth: personality, channels and triggers
Write a character's personality and example chats, choose channels, dedicated channels and how members call it, and know how memory works.
Open AI characters in the dashboard and edit a character.
Who it is
- Avatar: a square image that you upload.
- Name: shown as “Name · AI”. Some words, like “admin” or “support”, are not allowed in names.
- Other names: other names that call the character, like “Hey Beat”.
- Personality: who the character is, how it talks and what it likes.
- First message: optional.
- Example chats: short exchanges that show the voice. Use Add example, then write what A member says and what The character answers.
Where it talks
- Channels: the character answers only in these channels.
- Dedicated channels: the character answers every message here, with no call needed.
How members call it
Under How members call it, switch on By name, When mentioned and When someone replies to it. In dedicated channels the character always answers. With every switch off and no dedicated channel, the character does not answer to calls.
Members can always call a character with /talk (options: character and message), in the channels where the character talks. If the Custom Bot has no Message Content intent, the dashboard button reads Turn on with /talk only: the character then answers only to /talk, not to names, mentions or replies.
Images
Images lets the character draw when asked.
Memory
Characters keep a short memory of the conversation to reply well. Use /characters to see the characters of a channel. If you turn AI characters off, memory is erased right away, and your characters are kept for a time in case you turn them back on.
A character is silent
The character speaks through a webhook. Give Green-bot Manage Webhooks in the channel. See Why can't the character talk?.
