Step-by-Step

  1. Load up the Agnai interface
    • go to the website https://agnai.chat
    • Optionally, login / create an account (if you want your chats to persist across devices or you want to sign up for higher context / more powerful LLMs)
  2. Have your first chat with a Robot
    • Talk to the robot by clicking on the “Robot” chat right on the homepage
    • Use the “Send a message” box at the bottom of the screen to chat, just like with any messaging platform
    • Wait a few moments for the robot to respond
    • By default, your chats will use the Agnai model. See “Configuring your AI service” for information on choosing and configuring the various AI services.
    • For more advanced information about chatting, controls, and settings, see “Chat Settings”.
  3. Create your own character
    • Click the “+” by “Character” for quick access to character creation
    • Give your character a name. The character’s name will influence the conversation.
    • Optionally add a description and some tags, a scenario, some persona information, and an example chat or two
    • Optionally upload an image for your character, or provide a description of the character’s appearance and generate an image. By default, image generation uses the Kobold Horde (and takes a long time).
    • Scroll down and click “Create” in the bottom right corner
    • For more information about character creation, see “Creating a character”.
  4. Create a chat
    • On the top right of the page after you create a character is a “New” button
      • You can also click the “+” by “Chats”
    • Select your character from the dropdown list
    • Give the conversation a name
    • Scroll down and click “create”
    • Ignore the “override character definition” and “Scenario” controls for now
    • For more about advanced chat settings, see “Chat Settings” and “Scenarios”
  5. Create a memory
    • Go to the “Gear” in the top right of the page after you create a chat
    • Select “Memory”
    • With “None” selected, click “Create a new memory book”
    • Scroll down and give the book a name and optionally a description
    • Click “+ Entry” to create a new entry in the memory book
    • Give the entry a name
    • List out a series of phrases that should trigger the memory. These could be one work, multiple words, or pattern-matching like “dino*”
    • Leave Priority and Weight at 0 for now (see “Memory Priority and Weight”)
    • Add the details of the memory to the box. Keep your memory entry relatively short. For longer memories, consider using “User Embeds”
    • Some memories are automatically remembered from your chat history over longer conversations. See “Chat Embeds”
    • see the “Memory” subsection for more information
  6. Change the character’s behavior with a “jailbreak”
    • A “Jailbreak”, aka User Jailbreak, Ultimate Jailbreak or UJB, is a powerful instruction for the bot
    • In the default prompt template (see “Prompt Templates”), the UJB is one of the last pieces of context
    • The lower down in context something is, the more impact it has on the resposne
    • Try setting a “UJB” to make the character behave the opposite of their current behavior (see “System Prompt and Jail Breaks”)
    • See “Chat Settings” for other ideas, including “Advanced Settings”
