Shared Companion Page

When someone shares a companion link with you, clicking it takes you to the shared companion page. This is a public page - you don't need an Aura account to view it.

What you'll see

The shared companion page shows the companion's chat interface, similar to what signed-in users see. You can:

• See the companion's name and avatar
• Read the companion's description and any introductory message
• Chat with the companion directly, even without signing in

Chatting without an account

One of the great things about shared companions is that anyone can try them out. Just type a message and start chatting. The companion responds just like it would for a signed-in user.

However, without an account:

• Your chat history won't be saved between sessions
• You won't be able to save the companion to your collections
• Some features available to signed-in users may not be accessible

Moving around without losing access

If the creator shared this companion with a private link rather than making it fully public, that link carries an access token with it. As you navigate around within the shared experience - for example opening a past conversation from the chat history panel, or viewing a resource the companion references - that access token comes along with you, so you don't get locked out partway through. You only need the original link to get started.

Social sharing metadata

When a shared companion link is posted on social media or in a messaging app, it shows a rich preview with:

• The companion's name as the title
• The companion's description as the subtitle
• The companion's avatar or carousel image as the preview image

This makes shared links look great when posted on platforms like WhatsApp, Twitter/X, Facebook, and LinkedIn.
