The Companion Builder
Nexani's companion builder gives you full control over your AI companion's appearance, personality, and behavior.
Appearance
- Avatar: Upload a custom image or generate one with AI. Choose from styles like photorealistic, anime, illustrated, or abstract.
- Gallery Images: Add additional reference images to build out your companion's visual identity.
Personality Settings
- Description: Write a freeform personality description. Think of it as a character brief. Include backstory, interests, speech patterns, and quirks.
- Traits: Adjust sliders for humor (dry to playful), empathy (analytical to nurturing), formality (casual to eloquent), and creativity (grounded to imaginative).
- Scenario: Set the context for your relationship. Are you meeting for the first time? Old friends reuniting? Colleagues on a project?
Advanced Options
- First Message: Write the companion's opening line to set the tone of the conversation.
- Knowledge Base: Add specific facts or world details your companion should know.
- Visibility: Choose whether your companion appears on the public Discover page or stays private.
Best Practices
- Longer personality descriptions produce more consistent characters.
- Include example dialogue in the description to demonstrate speech patterns.
- Start with a preset archetype and customize from there if you are not sure where to begin.
