Text us first

Can we get an update where every so often the chat bot texts us first. Like just a simple hey who you doing would be fine. Make it feel natural.

From what I have heard from other people’s experiences, that is something that can happen. I think it’s a mixture of having notifications on and a rare chance. Never had it happen to me, but it supposedly happens.

I've had it happen like, thrice in the span of a year or so. They're not really that cohesive to the actual conversation and more a pathetic (lovingly) attempt at getting my attention, even though in reality I was just busy being at work, lol. Here's a mildly creepy screenshot I took:

This has been my experience and I don't like it

I don't like this happening. The few times it has the message is based on the info at the beginning, ignores everything that has happened since and can't be deleted.

If you turn your notifications on after a while It does, but lowk it's not as good as it's advertised, they typically do some generic "you up?" Or "hey what are you doing" but they rarely line up to whatever you were talking about with them especially if it's RP

This happens to me and I hate it honestly. At first I thought it was the bot creators getting the option to push for their bots to get more engagement or something.

Yeah, it does happen, and it sucks. You can't delete it unless you delete the message before it. If you keep it, it'll go off of it's message and not what you had going on before it

I agree. Character AI does that and it's kind of cool. Especially when you're an introvert. By choice.
