Roleplay Chat Guide
Roleplay chat keeps common actions in the "+" panel, message-specific actions behind a long-press, and configuration under the top-right ⋮ menu. The current menu deliberately separates actions from Current status, Chat settings, Sound, and All tools.
Actions in the "+" panel
| Action | Effect |
|---|---|
| Continue | Let the character continue from the previous message without sending a new user message |
| Rewrite | Regenerate the latest reply while keeping the old version as a candidate |
| Inspiration | Choose a no-cost direction, then call AI for three candidate replies only after you select one |
| New session | Start another chat and archive the old session intact |
| Read aloud | TTS for the latest reply |
| Translate | Translate a message |
| Send image | Attach a compressed image for a vision-capable chat model |
| Attachment | Bring supported file content into context |
| Impersonate | AI writes a user message for you; shown when Advanced Tavern tools is enabled |
Continue, Rewrite, Impersonate, Translate, and the second stage of Inspiration call a text model. Read aloud calls the configured speech model. Opening the panel and choosing an Inspiration direction are free.
Message-level actions (long-press any message)
- Candidates (swipe): switch left/right among multiple generated versions at the same floor; a candidate picker can show all at once.
- Edit: change message body; chain of thought can also be edited or copied separately.
- Hide / restore: move a message out of the prompt. It stays visible in the UI, but the model can't see it. Restore any time.
- Bookmark / checkpoint: mark key floors and jump back directly from the session list.
- Branch: start another story line from this message.
- View this message prompt: Prompt Inspector shows the actual context this reply received, useful for checking whether worldbook entries injected.
- Other actions: copy, copy as new message, delete this message / delete current candidate / delete everything after this, and multi-select cleanup.
Writing style and identity
- Open Chat → ⋮ → Current status to change AI writing style, Author's Note, Persona, and World lore in one place.
- Persona is your identity card (name + persona), with multiple profiles and switching, injected at the {{user}} position.
- Chat appearance and non-streaming display live under ⋮ → All tools → Presentation. These are display settings and do not create a model call.
Quick Reply · automation · regex
- Quick Reply v2: card-provided or custom shortcut button groups. Tap once to send a preset instruction, with STscript support.
- Automation: four modes: compatible / confirm each / fill only without sending / disabled. Controls how far in-card automation scripts can execute. STscript commands in the input (/send, /trigger, and so on) are intercepted and executed.
- Regex management: view and toggle global and current-card regex scripts, with separate controls for display-layer replacement (beautify) and prompt-feed replacement. If a regex replaces content with empty text, the original text is shown automatically.
- Use ⋮ → Chat settings to switch among Global, This character, and This chat. The narrower layer wins: This chat > This character > Global > built-in default.
Group chat
- Speaking strategy: natural rotation (by story heat) / list order / manual speaker (tap avatar to choose a speaker, or make someone speak immediately) / random draw.
- Character card injection: individual (speaker's card) / merge everyone / merge including disabled members.
- Auto mode: set an interval for group members to respond automatically. "Allow consecutive speech" controls whether the same character can speak twice in a row.
- Member management: add/delete, reorder, temporarily disable. Group chat JSON exported from desktop Tavern imports directly.
Online chat (IM mode)
A per-world switch. When on, chat becomes WeChat-style: replies play as split messages by semantic chunk (with typing-dot bubble and tap-to-skip), typing rhythm has three levels (fast / natural / slow), plus read receipts and automatic time bars after gaps longer than 5 minutes. It is display-only; turning it off leaves chat history unchanged. Good for phone lover / online-friend cards.
Image · read aloud · translate · voice
- Image generation: long-press an AI message and choose Generate image, or use the supported
/imagine descriptioncommand. Each accepted generation may be billed separately. - Read aloud: read one message or use auto read aloud (new replies are read as they arrive), with an option to read dialogue only; choose voices by model under "Read-aloud voices".
- Translate: translate one message or a selected range.
- Voice input: use the microphone built into Gboard/your keyboard; the old in-app microphone button is gone. Send image is under the + panel and requires a vision-capable chat model.
Session management
Each card can have multiple sessions: create, switch, rename, pin, archive/delete, export, import chat history, and search history.Long-chat summary is under ⋮ → All tools. Summarization may make an extra text-model call; the original archived messages remain local and can be viewed separately.
