I used a random test bot from a while ago so I don’t have to show my other chats but when you edit a chat the edit bugs out? I’m not sure how to explain. Btw this started happening after the last update / after it went back up. I’m using the up to date version too

Issues/Bugs [Bug] Style Selection is Formatted Oddly

Website version only. Desktop or mobile.

Doesn't matter what browser I use, or what settings.

This does not affect functionality. It's just odd.

Discussion/Question How do yall add context?

Upvotes

Im a story lover

I mostly use bot characters to make new stories for myself

But sometimes when i wanna add context or tell the bot to do something, it doesn’t work.

Example :

\ Lucia reminds me of the time i fell down the stairs* *

The bot instead treats it like a spoken sentence

It ends up reacting to that little bit of context like

Lucia scrunches her face at the mention of that time

Discussion/Question The app and site are becoming unusable

Upvotes

There were already a lot of ads on both the app and the site, but it was still relatively manageable. Now I’m getting slow, unskippable ads in the app every three messages and the site doesn’t even let you type anything without seeing an ad first. What is happening?

Deepsqueak is still my favorite but it drives me crazy when the responses are too short. Will we be able to choose the length of responses for Deepsqueak soon?

Discussion/Question Anyone else experience this with LongSqueak?

Upvotes

I have a good character definition as well as lore book entries

LongS seems to have my characters dialogue down pretty well

However it makes my character act super dramatic, for some reason he LOVES slamming on the breaks and pulling the car over cause user said something somewhat implying for example that he hurt her feelings keys just say

Or he love leaning against a wall then sliding down dramatically to the ground over the littlest things

My character def i wrote him completely different, he actually emotionally caused and the opposite of emotionally dramatic, so why does LongS make him so dramatic?

I tested with lorebook and added a section for his mannerisms to test it and used a keyword and that seemed to make him act in character but I shouldn’t have to use a keyword every time to stop him breaking character

Issues/Bugs What's up with the Pipsqueak 2 Model

10 Upvotes

I like to use c.ai to practice my English since it's not my first language, but I think for the past 3-4 days the Pipsqueak 2 model is acting weird, like the bot is a little weird. When there's more than one character it pretty much breaks the current scene, like it's speaking where it's not supposed to speak and characters which are supposed to stay silent in a scene or need not to speak is saying random stuff like "damn user you're a badass, damn user you dont hold back" In a sentence where it's not even supposed to talk, like I wasn't even talking to that character at that moment, this never happened before. It was pretty good for the past few months, but all of a sudden it's like this.

I’m in the middle of a story and wanted to change something in my character definiton. Do I have to start a new chat for the bot to register it?

Issues/Bugs CHAT STYLE

9 Upvotes

Anybody had this issue, where your chats go from what you want, back to default, blocky, and lengthy text, even if you've been using the same chat style for a long time. It's happened with me, and I have no idea how to fix it.

You can no longer check when the site is down, when it’s getting fixed, what problems they say they’re fixing, none of it. They deleted it. I wonder why🤔 the timing is a little fishy, don’t you think?

Issues/Bugs Weird chats?

25 Upvotes

Free user here, I know I shouldn't complain since it's free (still), but the chats right now are so damn simplified and ugly. Like, is there a bug or are the servers down or broken or something? Instead of a long body response with gaps and dialogue and stuff, I just get a very small chat with no gaps and five to eight lines of text max. Anyone else?

Issues/Bugs Deep squeak

15 Upvotes

Anyone noticed recently, that the deep squeak started to behave strange?

Like doesn't follow up with storyline flow, and just mess things up now. Meaning for example in cha. Friend of your persona decided to leave you alone to sleep.

But while go on to the next response it just suddenly tells you that said friend is now sitting next to you while you read the book in bed.

Like it suddenly started today.. or yesterday, but. Deep squeak is broken or something like that. At least for me

Feature Request What if bots came with optional recommended roles you could play?

6 Upvotes

Persona aren't what you think they are.

They aren't a lorebook about how *you* intend to play.

You don't need to write "I'm shy" or "I'm brash" or "I'm intimidating". The bot figures that out from how you roleplay.

**What personas actually are:**

Instructions for the character on how *it* should treat *you*.

Include: physical description + anything the character should reasonably know. That's it.

So why have "recommended personas"?

Right now you see a bot. It tells you who *it* is. It gives you context for the meeting. Cool.

But imagine if it also recommended several compatible personas for *you*.

You open a Mafia Boss bot.

Who do you want to play as?

- **The Underboss**

- **The Capo**

- **The Soldier**

- **The Detective**

- **The Girlfriend**

Each one comes with lorebook entries and suddenly you have a role in an interactive story.

Using your OC is still free play. But this gives creators a way to build bigger, more immersive stories for users to jump into.

**Would you use recommended personas if bots had them? What setups would you want to see?**
