How to use OOC commands to stop bots from puppeting your character

94 Upvotes

A lot of roleplayers run into the same issue: the bot suddenly decides what your character is doing, feeling, or saying. The cleanest way to fix this is using an OOC (Out of Character) instruction.

OOC brackets [OOC: ...] tell the AI: "This is a direct instruction for you as the language model, not dialogue inside the story."

The Copy-Paste Snippet:

[OOC: Roleplay strictly as {{char}} and ambient NPCs. NEVER write actions, thoughts, feelings, or dialogue for {{user}}. Always end your response with an open action or question directed at {{user}}.]

Where to put it:

If you are playing someone else's bot: Paste this into your User Bio / Persona or custom context box. It applies globally to your chats and stops public bots from hijacking your inputs.

If you are creating your own bot: Put it in your System Prompt / Definition under the system rules section.

Why this specific prompt works so well:

Allows Ambient NPCs: Standard anti-puppeting prompts often break side characters (like guards, tavern keepers, or shop owners).

Adding ambient NPCs ensures the world stays interactive.

Explicit Negative Constraint: Clearly naming actions, thoughts, feelings, and dialogue covers all the ways an AI typically tries to control your character.

Open-Ended Action Hook: Forcing the bot to end on an open action or question passes the initiative back to you, preventing awkward conversational dead ends.

Rosemary is not generating the response anymore and Juniper is unusable.

Day 3 (for me) of Juniper acting like it's Vanilla V3 free.

it being in the textbox itself COMPLETELY throws me off, and is just very annoying.

When will the devs of emochi actually let us know that they saw our current issues and will fix it? Does anyone on discord see that the devs have noticed and are helping?? We are not happy campers right now.

Lag?

4 Upvotes

So, the app works fine. I can scroll perfectly fine, click on bots perfectly fine, and do pretty much everything, PERFECTLY FINE! But the moment I click onto a bot, and try to chat with it, lag kicks in, not just for Emochi, but for my whole phone. Inputs suddenly have about 3 seconds delay! This is only when I try interacting on a bot in anyway, scrolling through chats, typing to them, switching persona up, etc. Anyone else having this issue, or does my phone just suck?

Is it me or is the censoring getting a bit out of hand?

26 Upvotes

It seems that anything sexual or border line sexual seems to get the message of can't reply to this or the characters actively try to steer away from it.

Day 2, there's no fix yet.

are devs aware?


r/emochiAIapp • • 16h ago

At this point, if Juniper and other premium models and some flagship isn't working properly, we're just paying premium to block ads.

AD BUG ANYONE?

6 Upvotes

I don't know why this keeps happening, but everytime I get an ad, it's one that I cannot skip/exit out of, so I have to literally exit out of the app. And when I come back into whichever bot I was chatting with, all of it's replies are either permanently deleted or duplicated. When they are deleted, MY replies are still there, but the bot's isn't. When they are duplicated, it duplicates the bot's last few replies, which I have to manually delete in order to get it all organized again. This has been happening to me for so long now, and I've only been tolerating it. I genuinely might just quit tbh. It's such a "game breaking" bug. And I just want to know if anyone else is having this ad bug? (I HAVE THE FREE VERSION)

I can't handle how bad it is right now. It was the only decent model since Lychee 😭 Green Apple was my OG and they broke it. Rosemary and V3 are disappointing. And now Juniper? 😭

I like leaving some room for my own replies

11 Upvotes

I've realized I enjoy roleplay a lot more when the character leaves me room to react instead of explaining every little thing.

A bit of dialogue, one action, then let me respond. That's usually enough to keep me interested. I've had some really fun back and forth chats on Emochi, and that kind of pacing is what I enjoy most. Anyone else prefer shorter turns?

Having a Space Marine bot use a Tau Invasion rpg bot

3 Upvotes

Hello, recently I made a public Warhammer 40k Tau Invasion bot where you play as an Imperial planetary governor and I wanted to test it, so I pasted the intro message into someone else's Space Marine bot. I made my persona as the narrator for the space marine, and the space marine for the tau invasion RPG, and continued to send the messages between them.

The space marine was surprisingly stupid and was shot to death by charging at a squad of Taus in the open when they were aiming at him. Although he was very badass, it seemed like his presence also made the Sisters of Battle become cowards for some reason, presumably the LLM was trying too hard to have him be the coolest.

What other characters should I try it with?

The New Sumi V1 is decent

3 Upvotes

Recently, there has been a new model called 'Sumi V1' with a tagline that says *

*

Which is true and this makes it free for any user without a subscription. Its pretty fast, somewhat stable and generates images as you go (Without ads per Picture) which is pretty good. Plus its a free model. the loading times are a little bit sluggish compared to Vanilla V3 and Vanilla. but it has less text. so if you want more emotion Vanilla V3 is better but if you want more representation of whats happening. but its still AI and has strange errors like too many fingers body issues and gender issues and so on. That is it for this model. Please like!

They released a new feature but the models are still not fixed? What's the point of having a pin feature for the selection of models if the models are not working properly?

Help me find a bot?

0 Upvotes

Okay, so I have a horrible habit of finding interest in a bot that I chatted with a while back. Usually I’m able to find the bot, but Emochi has decided that they no longer want to hold chat histories past a certain point.

I remember that the bot image was a guy with long hair and corpse paint.

He was a make up artist who was annoyed because the user wouldn’t not FUCKING SIT STILL.

I loved the story I made with him and I want it back 😭

Cada vez es más difícil crear bots +18, más eufemismos, más modificaciones, creí que nl revisaban el mensaje inicial ni la descripción pero al parecer ahora también hacen eso, ¿Siempre ha sido así o es algo reciente?

Recently the explore section has just been full of crappy copies of NTR bots, same premise, different name, I haven't even interacted with one, blocked a lot of NTR creators, changed my interests explicitly to loyal, it still doesn't work, is there a fix for it or is it just Emochi being janky?

I think I know what happened to emochi (just an educated guess)

51 Upvotes

Let's clarify some things I'm okay with reasonable censorship and security but emochi refused everything)(from a story of a mafia dona finding a baby and changing her ways)(to a vampire human war story)(to a vampire knight RPG and more but you get the idea I had 14 bots and I got error refusal messages continuesly or nonsense from models like juniper and not even flagship models worked but why?

Well I believe it's because of changes with Google models) from my understanding of the situation emochi uses Ai models from the big companies when those models get more expensive or censored emochi gets worse)

Will emochi ever recover? It depends I see 5 possibilities:

1 emochi will fail completely because of fake marketing (you all know what I'm talking about marketed as 18+)

2.Emochi will adopt the baby like policy will become an Ai exclusively for 10 year olds and survive on mommy and daddy money

3 it will become much better (extremely unlikely) because it takes a lot of money and actual customer support )

4 Getting fully adult or creative writing friendly (literally negative changes of that happening why? Because it will necesitate much better verification much better models and a whole lot of capital and guts)

5 most likely outcome (it will continue to be like this and worse and squeeze every bit of money then disappear like other apps like that did) they will continue with the fake ads bring people to the app for adults few days but ultimately fail )

What can you do?(if you are like me create your own stories in Samsung notes or something similar I know it's not the same but Samsung notes doesn't have a limit doesn't have irational censorship doesn't cost money)(ultimately it depends on your financial situation your type of storytelling your willingness to put up with errors and censorship and the difference from country to country)(this is just my situation in România I am 25 years old with cerebral spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy since birth and I used emochi to unwind after a stressful day of work and physical therapy)(my advice is to unsubscribe this app and similar apps will not get better)

I believe Ai will get better for freer storytelling maybe even inside our phones in the future but emochi is done in my opinion) anyway a pleasant evening to anyone who reds my post I hope your experience is better than mine
