You can change any reply: swipe for a different version, edit the text, or branch a new chat from that point and keep both.

Swipe for another version

A regenerated reply with the 2 of 2 arrows under it.
  1. Swipe a reply to the left to get a different version.
  2. The arrows and the counter, like 2 of 3, show which version you’re reading. Swipe or tap the arrows to move between them. Every version is kept.
  3. Later replies build on the version on screen. Swiping past the last version writes a new one.

Regenerate, in a message’s long-press menu, also writes a new version.

Edit any message

The long-press menu on a reply: Regenerate, Copy, Read Aloud, Branch from Here, Illustrate, Edit, Delete.
  1. Long-press a message and choose Edit.
  2. Change the text, including in the character’s replies, and tap Save. Later replies build on your edited text.

The same menu has Copy, Read Aloud, Illustrate and Delete. Illustrate makes a picture of the scene in that reply; see Images: pictures for your stories.

Branch a new story

Branch from Here, in the long-press menu, starts a new chat with the messages up to that one. The original chat doesn’t change, so you can try a different direction and keep both.

Go further

A branch is a new chat. Attach the same memory to it, and the character can recall what it learned in the original chat. See A character who remembers you. You can also ask Character Agent to change a chat for you: see Build a world by talking.
