How Chat Mode Works
What defines the mode.
Chat mode is the realistic texting mode. Your character is a real person on the other end of a phone. They exist somewhere else in the world and you're having a text conversation with them.
Chat mode

Roleplay mode
*she glances up from her sketchbook, charcoal-smudged fingers pausing mid-stroke*
"Oh — didn't hear you come in."
*his footsteps had been soft on the studio floor — she hadn't meant to seem startled*
*she sets the pencil down, brushing a curl behind her ear*
What defines chat mode
- Messages are short and casual, like real texts.
- No action descriptions. Just words.
- Characters can send photos and videos if you ask.
- Messages sometimes come in bursts — just like real texting.
- Slang, abbreviations, and emoji appear depending on who the character is.
- Characters get tired, distracted, busy. Like real people.
