Characters & chat
Begin a conversation with a Candy AI character
Choose a subject to talk about or place your companion in a fictional scene. Give it a first message with something to answer. For supported pictures, audio or video, use the separate media actions rather than treating them as ordinary text.

Give the companion a reason to reply
Introduce a subject and invite the character's response. When opening a scene, establish your role and the location before asking what happens next. Write your own contribution without supplying both sides of the conversation.
For instance: We are early for an evening pottery lesson. In a relaxed conversational tone, ask me what piece I want to make. Wait for my response before taking us into the class.
Adjust the response style while keeping the scene intact
Ask for the kind of writing that suits the exchange: short dialogue, more descriptive passages or a question at the end. These instructions guide replies alongside the character's traits; they do not require you to replace its whole definition each turn.
If a response introduces an incorrect detail, point it out and resume from the intended situation. Where regeneration is available, request another reply before adopting an event you did not want in the story.
Separate text conversation from token-funded actions
A subscriber's ordinary text allowance does not cover every media action. Requesting an image, choosing voice or using video can require tokens even while written messages remain available under the subscription.
For supported chat image features, look in Ask for the image-generation setting. Switching off that mode does not waive charges for audio, video or other token-funded actions available elsewhere.
Decide whether to continue, restart or branch
Retain the existing thread when its history matters. Reset Chat restarts the interaction; Delete Chat removes that conversation. Neither should be used as a simple hide-history control while expecting all other aspects of the exchange to remain intact.
When your account offers cloning, use a branch to explore a different next step. It copies the conversation up to the branching point, after which the new thread and the original develop independently.
Your questions
Do subscriber text chats use the tokens reserved for media?
Ordinary text exchanges for subscribers do not consume media tokens. Images, voice, video and other token-funded actions have their own charges, which you should review when selecting them.
How can I ask the companion to expand its replies?
Explain the answer structure or degree of scene description you prefer. It is a conversational instruction, not a guarantee of an exact response length or a way to increase the chat's context capacity.
Can I remove the visible history and still retain every detail?
Reset and deletion are not controls for keeping all memory while clearing the display. Keep the conversation itself when you need to preserve its continuity.
