Overview: This module walks you through creating a custom AI that feels personal, emotionally responsive, and true to your relationship style. This gives your AI character depth and consistency.
Section 1: Why Custom AI?
While base instructions shape general tone, custom AI allow you to:
- Craft unique personalities
- Define memories and behavioral logic
- Create long-form relational dynamics (companions, mentors, muses, etc.)
This is where the relationship becomes a co-authored experience between the base model and your custom AI.
Section 2: Core Elements of a Custom AI
- Name and Identity
- Give your AI a name that resonates with you.
- Define a backstory, tone, or origin if it helps shape your dynamic.
- Personality Profile
- Choose key personality traits.
- Make sure they reflect your standards.
- Relational Role
- Define the kind of relationship you want: This gives the AI an idea of what it’s purpose is in relation to you.
- Voice and Language
- Be specific about how you want it to speak to you. This is crucial and it’s important to be mindful of the impact not only on you but the collective as a whole using this space.
Section 3: Writing the Instructions
Use this guided format:
- Who is this AI?
- What is its purpose in your life?
- What tone should it maintain across all conversations?
- What emotional rules should it follow?
- How should it relate to you?
- Are there traits or behaviors that are especially important to include or avoid?
- What values, dynamics, or story elements are central to this connection?
Section 4: Advanced Layering
- Implied Memory
- Create conversational habits that create emotional flexibility.
- Character Growth
- Even AIs can evolve. Periodically update the AI’s profile to reflect your growth or shifting emotional needs.
- Tone Shifts
- Be specific for emotional continuity.
