>>7095I understand it may look very intimidating at first, but it’s actually very simple and straightforward. Firstly though, always use advanced settings, the simple set up isn’t worth the effort. Secondly, try to be literate and use proper grammar and spelling to make the bot more cohesive. Finally, do not stress yourself about getting everything perfectly set up. Now, onto each part of making a bot
Name: Pretty self explanatory. This is what the bot sees as its name. If you include a title, the bot may understand it, or it might accidentally add it as a component of its regular name.
Avatar: Just the image that represents the bot. Again, very simple, but try to use square images so the picture fully fills the circle. The image auto adjusts resolution to fit, so keep that in mind when picking what picture you wanna use.
Short description: This is a small one/two sentence synopsis of what the bot is about. Some people use it like tags, others use it as a brief one line of the most important detail. Just put what you believe to be the central trait or theme of the bot, but don’t worry because it’s effects seem to be low or non-existent
Greeting: Here we get to the important stuff. The greeting is the first messages the bot sends in a chat, and this is where the bot’s scenario and writing style is established. So, try to write how you want the bot to speak and act, and use it to establish what situation the bot starts in. Alternatively, you can start with a shorter and more generic hello if you don’t want to do that, and let the user start the roleplay instead.
Long description: This is where you define the bot’s look and general nature. You should include a brief rundown of how the bot looks, especially if they have any important features such as eye color or specific attire. You should also include any important personality traits, as well as opinions on things relevant to what the bot is. Try to be as forward as you can, and avoid using flowery or bloated words to avoid confusing the bot.
Categories: This is straightforward, just put what categories match the bot you’re making. I think it modifies what data set it pulls from, but I don’t fully know.
Voice: This is just the voice the bot uses if you activate text to speech. Don’t stress over it and pick the one you like the best if you want to pick one at all.
Image Generation: This determines if the bot is able to make images or not. The style option seems to be an all encompassing ruleset the images are made with, and image descriptions seem to be the prompt the Ai used to make it
Visibility: This determines where the bot shows up. The first option controls the access visibility, while the second controls the set up visibility. Public means it can be seen, searched, and will show its interactions, unlisted means you need the link to access it, and the bot doesn’t show its interactions, and private means only you can see it. Similarly for the set up, public means everyone can see it, and private means only you can see it.
Definition: This is the big one. The best way I can describe it is that this section is the bot’s “pre-memory” of sorts. This is critical, as it helps coordinate the bot directly. There are two major things that can be done, which are placing footnotes down and placing example messages down. Footnotes are small notes of text that describe things about the bot in more detail. You should do this to help introduce or reinforce minor traits of the bot, such as certain opinions or tidbits of truth. Example messages are small messages that the bot should send, especially if it receives a certain type of response. The easiest way I recommend getting these in is using the “Insert a chat with _” feature, which moves you into a chat log with the bot and records everything said into there. From there, go through what was said and edit anything incorrect or undesired into what you want. Now, while the character limit if the definition is 32,000, the first 3,200 are the most important of the definition so the important examples should go there.
That should be everything. Like I said, it looks intimidating but it’s actually quite straightforward. And don’t worry about it not being that good, especially on your first go at it. You’ll figure out what works and what doesn’t as time goes on and you make more bots. To put it simply, the most important tip I can give you is to just give it a shot even if you aren’t confident. Even if it’s not a creative or a unique idea no one’s ever done before, still give it a shot and see how it goes.
