Starting a Conversation

Getting into a conversation with a companion only takes a few seconds.

How to start chatting

Find a companion

You can find companions in several ways:

Browse the Explore page and click a companion card
Open one from your Collections
Click a companion in your Chat History
Follow a shared link someone sent you

Open the companion

Clicking a companion card takes you to the chat screen. You'll see the companion's name, avatar, and description at the top, along with any quick start prompts the creator has set up.

Nearly every companion greets you automatically as soon as you arrive - see below.

Type something in the text box at the bottom and press Enter, or click one of the quick start prompts to send it instantly. The companion's response will stream in - you'll see it appear word by word.

Cost

Chatting is free. There's no credit balance, subscription, or usage limit on your end - the companion's creator covers the cost of every conversation, not you.

Shared links

Creators can share a direct link to their companion. If someone sends you one, just click it and you'll land right on the chat screen. Shared links work whether you're signed in or not - though signing in lets you save the companion and keep your chat history.

Greeting messages

Nearly every companion has a greeting, written by its creator - a welcome message, a quick introduction, or a prompt to get the conversation going. It streams into view the moment you open the chat, typing itself out rather than appearing all at once, and it becomes the first message in the conversation once you actually start talking.
