How to Chat with AI on Promptchan

Promptchan Chat lets you talk with AI characters who stay in character, play out a scene with you, and can send photos and voice clips. Here's how to start, and how to get more out of it.

---

Quick start

1. Open Chat and go to Discover. Filter by women or men, and by style (Real, Hyperreal, Anime, Hyperanime).
2. Tap a character. They open the conversation with a first message.
3. Write back. Type anything and press send.

You'll need a free account to keep chatting.

Make it better

Actions in asterisks, words in quotes.

*I sit down next to you at the bar.* "Is this seat taken?"

Actions show in soft italics and speech in bold, and your character replies the same way. Plain messages work too.

Pick a mode in the chat's Settings:

• Chat feels like texting. It's the mode for voice messages and selfies.
• Story is roleplay: your character narrates the scene and you decide what happens.

Switching modes clears the conversation, so choose before you get deep in.

Steer the story. Set the scene with Scenario in Settings (this also clears the chat). Change their Personality any time without losing the chat. Not keen on a reply? Tap refresh on the latest one, or edit your own message with the pencil.

Ask for pictures.

• In Chat mode, ask for a selfie and your character may send one. Selfies cost Gems.
• Image under the chat draws the current moment from your conversation. It's for Pro members.
• Video makes a short clip of the moment, with your character speaking a line from the chat.
• Both buttons show their Gem price. You can also attach a photo of your own for your character to react to.

Use voice.

• Pick a voice in Settings. A few are free; the rest come with Plus or higher.
• Voice messages (Chat mode): ask for one and you get a clip, 1 Gem each.
• Speaker icon: hear any message read aloud, for a few Gems depending on its length.
• Call: starts a voice call in a one-to-one chat. Tap to talk and your character answers out loud. Every turn costs Gems, on every plan.

More ways to chat.

• Create a Character: choose a face, then a name, personality, scenario and first message. Or Import one from another app.
• My Persona: tell your characters who you are, and it shapes how they treat you.
• New Group: put two of your characters in one chat, and tap Let them keep talking to let them chat with each other.
• Gifts: when you see the gift button, send a gift for Gems and watch them react.

Good to know

Free messages, then Gems. Free messages refill every 3 hours:

• Free: 20 on v2.5 Pro, or 60 on v2.5 Fast
• Plus: 40 or 120
• Premium: 100 or 300
• Pro: unlimited (fair use)

After that, a message costs 0.4 Gems on v2.5 Pro or 0.2 on v2.5 Fast, and a short notice tells you when that starts. The model menu in Settings shows your numbers. Need Gems? Upgrade, buy some, or visit Earn Gems.

Which model? v2.5 Fast is quick and makes your free messages go three times as far. v2.5 Pro gives deeper roleplay and better memory for long stories.

Starting over. Clear in Settings wipes a conversation for good, and switching mode or scenario does too. Removing a character from your chat list deletes your history with them too.

Safe Mode keeps adult content hidden in Chat and across the site; change it in Settings. Some regions ask for an age check first, and in some countries it always stays on.

FAQ

Is it free? Yes, to start: the Free plan gets free messages every 3 hours, then messages cost Gems.
