Long Chat Context: Why Regenerate, Edit, or Delete?

Think of regenerating, editing, or deleting as a way to guide the AI during your conversation—it's like long-term prompting within your chat thread. When you leave a message as-is, the AI assumes it's "what you want" and treats it as an example for future responses. Over time, this behavior becomes part of the chat's tone and context. By adjusting messages, you can keep the behaviors you like and remove those you don't.

Example:

Imagine telling a Kyn to speak only in caps and emojis for 30 messages. Even if you delete the initial instruction, the AI might still think that's the Kyn's normal behavior. By regenerating or editing responses, you can refine the Kyn's tone and style, ensuring it aligns with your preferences.

• Regenerate: If a message doesn't match your expectations, click the regenerate button to try a fresh response.
• Edit: Make small changes to fine-tune the tone, content, or format of messages directly.
• Delete: Remove any messages that could mislead the AI about the behavior or style you want to maintain.

By actively guiding the AI through these tools, you can create a chat experience that evolves with your preferences, keeping your interactions consistent and enjoyable. It's like long-term prompting.

Quick note: If you're on the free trial, this is expected behavior. Long-term memories and progression are disabled on free trial threads, and free trial conversations have limited context retention.

Our memory system is detailed here: Memory Features (will be soon replaced by SmartDisk - more information on Discord).

If you're premium and experiencing issues, consider whether you're using forced memories too much, or not enough, or if it's due to a specific persona. Multiple premium users have 2,000+ message threads with long-term consistency—sometimes needing a reminder or additional forced memories, but quite rarely.

Real Example:

One premium user has a 1,759-message thread with corporate-ladder-rpg where they transformed the company into a cult with top inner circles and 12 regular NPCs, changed the original location and setting (built a private city on an island!), and it works great. Their forced memory only contains the names of inner circle members and their main personality traits—nothing else.

TL;DR: In 90% of cases about long-term consistency and repetition, the culprit is thread management. As long as you're not satisfied with a response: regenerate, edit, delete, resend. When it starts getting repetitive: regenerate, edit, delete, resend. Adjust persona or forced memory if behavior doesn't match expectations. See Chat Basics: Thread Management for more details.
