Persona Chat - AI Characters

Your Stories Just Got a Whole New Look Chat Wallpapers • You can now set any image behind a chat, with simple sliders for how see-through and how blurred it looks. • Set one default wallpaper for every chat in Settings, or give a single character its own scene in the Workshop that overrides the default. (Group chats use the default; the Iron Wake group has its own.) • Every built-in character now comes with a wallpaper that fits them, so chats open inside a matching scene instead of a flat background. • A dark, cinematic reading look turns on automatically whenever a wallpaper is set, so your text stays easy to read over any background in both light and dark mode. • Opening a chat with a wallpaper plays a short reveal: the scene starts sharp and zoomed in, then eases back as the messages fade in. Help Me Reply • Stuck for what to say? Tap the new sparkle button in the message box and we'll draft your next line for you, written in your persona's voice. • It appears when it's your turn, it's yours to edit, and nothing is sent until you choose. Works in one-on-one and group chats. A Bigger, Refreshed Cast • Five brand-new characters: Teresa (a corporate founder), Dorian (a vampire who rules the old quarter), Mireille (a privateer captain), Dax (a cyberpunk fixer), and Malachar (an ancient demon bound to you by a pact). • Eleven rarely-used characters were retired from new installs. If you've already chatted with one, they stay in your library. • Many of the characters we kept were rewritten so their opening scene hands you a clear role and a real choice instead of a passive intro (Lily is now a goth musician, Hermann's tavern is a pick-a-quest hub, and more). • Every character has fresh artwork in one consistent PersonaChat style, so the whole cast finally looks like it belongs together. • The Iron Wake crew got all-new portraits and a tighter, more polished story. Restore Built-In Characters • New in the Workshop menu: "Restore built-in characters" updates the built-ins to their newest writing and artwork, brings back any you removed, adds the new arrivals, and gives them their wallpapers. All your conversations are kept, and your own created or imported characters are never touched. Smarter Long-Chat Memory • Long stories now hold on to much more of what happened earlier, for noticeably better recall as the chapters pile up. • The running recap is now one smooth summary, so characters stay true to what actually happened. • Summarizing runs quietly in the background instead of interrupting you with a review screen. Prefer to check it first? Turn on a review step in Settings to read or edit each summary. • We can now improve how this works from our side, so future upgrades reach you without an app update. • Fixed a crash that could happen the first time a long group chat created its summary. More Models, Longer Replies • Three new AI models for richer, more natural conversations: GLM 4.7 Flash, MiMo V2.5, and Mistral NeMo. • Replies can run longer now: one-on-one chats allow longer responses, and group chats gained a new "Long" option. Group Chat Polish • Roomier message bubbles, plus an always-visible "⋯" button on every message for quick Edit, Rephrase, and Delete (no more long-pressing to find them). Smoother Start, Clearer Privacy • The intro and setup screens now scroll properly at large text sizes, so the Continue button is always within reach. • Clearer wording that your created and imported characters stay private on your device, and that bringing your own API key is completely optional. Thanks for the reviews and feedback!
