A character who remembers you

This guide gives Crimson Frost a memory that carries across chats. You create the memory, add it to a launcher so every chat uses it, and check what it learns.

Give her a memory

1. Open Settings › Memories and tap New Memory.
2. Name it “Crimson Frost” and tap Create.
3. Open it and set Learning. Choose Suggest if you want to approve every new fact before she uses it, or Automatic to let it fill in as you play.

A memory isn’t tied to one chat. Attach the same memory to every chat and launcher you use with her.

Start every chat with it

A launcher is a saved way to start a chat. Make one for her, and every chat it starts learns into the same memory.

1. Open the Manage Characters menu at the bottom of the home screen and tap Create Launcher.
2. Under Character, pick Crimson Frost, her greeting, and the persona you play.
3. Under Context, pick her memory under Memories. Her lorebook, The Thornwall Deeps, can go under Lorebooks.
4. Turn on Pin to top, then tap Done.

Tap the tile on the home screen to start a new chat with these settings. A launcher can also have its own Learn Every and Learning Model, so one launcher can learn less often than another.

Check what it learns

While you chat, a brain in the chat’s header shows the memory at work. Tap it to see what she learned and what she recalled.

• In the memory, Suggested entries wait for you: Approve, Reject or Edit.
• For facts that should come back in every reply, like the name she calls you, open the entry and turn on Pin: Recall Every Turn.
• Add Entry writes a fact yourself, like a debt she owes you from before the story began.

Carry a long story forward

A summary condenses a long chat. Add it to her memory, and a new chat can pick up where the old one ended.

1. Tap History on the home screen.
2. Long-press the chat and choose Create Summary.
3. In her memory, tap Add From Summary to turn the summary into entries.

A new chat from her launcher can then recall those entries.

Let her check in

Characters can also text you first.

1. Open Settings › Notifications & iPhone.
2. Under Check-Ins, set Texts You First to Sometimes (about once a day after you’ve been away) or Often (a few hours after you’ve been away).
3. Set Quiet From and Quiet Until so nothing arrives at night.

A launcher can override this for its own chats. Each check-in is one reply from the chat’s model.

Take her memory with you

You can export her memory as a file.

• To back it up or share it, long-press it in Settings › Memories and choose Export.
• To bring a memory in, tap Import in Settings › Memories.
• To try a story in a new direction, Duplicate the memory and attach the copy to a new launcher. The original stays as it was.

Every memory setting is covered in Memory: characters who remember. To hear her replies, see Give them a voice, even yours.
