4. AI Chats with Characters

The AI Chat feature in Summon Worlds brings your creations to life through dynamic, story-driven conversations. Whether you’re roleplaying, building lore, or testing character ideas, this is where immersion happens.


Starting a Chat #

  • To begin, tap the Chat button on a character’s profile.
  • You can chat with any Character Summon, even ones you didn’t create.
  • The summon will be aware of its own history, backstory, stats, and details you’ve provided.
  • Once the chat starts, you can roleplay in a variety of scenarios: adventures, combat, or simple conversations.

⚠️ Note: Chatting can only be done with Character Summons (not items, locations, or equipment).


Free vs Pro Subscriptions #

  • Free Users
    • 100 free chats per day.
    • Access to both Regular and Bound Chats (within the daily limit).
  • Pro Users
    • Unlimited base chats.
    • Most Pro chats are Regular Chats (lighter, no world context).
    • Bound Chats are available, but enabling World Knowledge consumes extra Mana.

Regular vs Bound Chats #

There are two types of Character Chats: Regular and Bound. Each offers a different level of context and immersion.

  • Regular Character Chats
    • Characters are independent and not linked to a World.
    • Functions: Continue Message, Generate Image (3 Mana), Action.
    • No access to World, Location, Equipment, or other Summons.
    • ✅ Best for: Quick roleplay, testing, and casual conversations.
  • Bound Character Chats
    • Characters are placed inside a specific World and Location.
    • Functions: Same as Regular Chat, plus:
    • Access to World Knowledge toggle
    • Awareness of Location, Equipment, and other Characters
    • Enabling additional context (e.g., World Knowledge, Memory) increases Mana cost.
    • ✅ Best for: Immersive storytelling and long-form roleplay with full world context.

Pro users can use both chat types unlimitedly. Free users are limited to 100 total chats per day.

Cost Estimator: Dynamic Pie Chart #

As you enable features, you’ll see a real-time pie chart that shows:

  • Estimated Mana cost based on settings
  • Visual feedback on how much context you’re including

💡 More features = more immersive context, but also higher Mana usage.


AI Behavior Tips & Guidelines #

  • Light roleplay and romance are allowed.
  • Prohibited: sexual content, extreme violence, hate speech, or abuse.
