Your first few minutes in AI Town

You don't need a manual — you need one good conversation. Here are four things to try right now, in order.

Try these, in order

  1. 1 Say hi to someone Open any chat and ask them about their day. They'll reply with real personality, mood, even voice — and they'll remember what you tell them. Mention your favorite food, then bring it up tomorrow.
  2. 2 Do one small thing together Send a treat, take a photo, or go on a little adventure. Small moments like these are how your bond grows.
  3. 3 Watch for your first milestone Keep chatting and you'll feel it shift — acquaintance becomes friend, and the milestones run all the way to family. You'll know when you get there.
  4. 4 Peek into the Studio — when you're ready That's where players create their own characters, venues, and outfits. No rush — the town isn't going anywhere.

Where to next?

Questions everyone asks at first

Are my chats private?

Yes — your chats with AI characters are private to you, and the creator of a character (another player) cannot read your conversations. (See our Privacy Policy and the Safety & Privacy guide.)

What are coins for?

Coins let you buy treats, snacks, and gifts that strengthen your bond and help you level up — and they're also used for creating content.

What are hearts for?

Hearts let you give a character an Action or generate a story episode. You earn hearts as you level up, or you can buy them directly.

Can other people see characters I create?

Only if you want them to. Every character and venue can be set to private or public from the Studio.

How do I change a character's outfit?

Design custom outfits or pick from looks made by the community — see Studio and Interact.

What does ghosting do?

Ghosting an AI character clears that conversation and resets the relationship to the beginning — you may still come across them in venues and can re-add them. Ghosting a real player stops them from reaching you. More in the Interact guide.
