Starting a Conversation

How to find a companion and start chatting.

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.

Some companions display a greeting message automatically when you arrive.

Send your first message

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.

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

Some companions are configured to send a greeting as soon as you open them. This might be a welcome message, a quick introduction, or a prompt to get the conversation going. You'll see it appear in the chat area before you type anything.
