✅ Our Test

⬇️ Sign Up and View the Library

Firstly, we signed up on the website using our Google account. The website automatically generated us a nickname, which can be changed later. On the main library page, we viewed a library of user-created public available to chat characters.

⬇️ Choose a Character and Start Chatting

For the test, we selected a historical character with a huge amount of public chats: Napoleon Bonaparte, the emperor of France.Since we started chatting with him, we faced the strong character of the bot, like emperors had to be.

⬇️ Create Your Own Character!

After a quick conversation with the French emperor, we decided to create our own chatbot. The choice was one another emperor. We clicked on the “Create Character” button on the main page and started fulfilling information about our future companion. There were name, tagline, and quick description fields required to be filled out before creating.We also changed the character visibility settings for this bot to "Private.”

⬇️ Chat With Your New Companion

Chatbot greeted us in an emperor manner, and we asked him a couple of questions. By the way, this emperor was more friendly than the previous one.
