AI Model Differences #

Q: What are the differences between the AI models?
A: Summon Worlds offers three distinct AI models:

  • Lore Keeper
    • Most popular, specially tuned for roleplaying.
    • Creative and fast.
    • Great for storytelling and improvisation.
    • Can sometimes forget smaller details.
  • Sentinel
    • Strong memory and consistency.
    • Creative but with strict content filters.
    • Best for players who want controlled, safe interactions.
  • Arcanum
    • Always up to date with the latest improvements.
    • Constantly improving and adapting.
    • Flexible for both storytelling and casual play.

About the AI #

Q: What is World Knowledge?
A: World Knowledge lets Bound Characters use the context of other Summons in the same World — including Locations, Weapons, Armors, Items, Spells, and Characters. This creates immersive, world-aware interactions.

Q: Why does World Knowledge cost extra Mana for Pro users?
A: Enabling World Knowledge increases the “context” the AI processes. The more context included, the richer the responses — but this also consumes more Mana since it requires extra computation.

Q: What is a Memory in chat?
A: Every 10 combined messages, the AI creates a Memory — a summary of key details to keep Characters consistent.

Q: How many Memories can Characters have?
A: Free users can have up to 10 Memories, while Pro users can have 20 Memories. Memories can also be manually added, edited, or deleted.

Q: What are Instructions in a chat?
A: Instructions define how a Character speaks and behaves. You can set style of speaking, personality traits, and emotional responses to guide roleplay consistency.

Q: What is Custom Knowledge?
A: Custom Knowledge allows you to manually add lore, history, or background info. Characters can then use this as context during chats.

Q: Can I control how much Mana my chats cost?
A: Yes. You can reduce costs by:

  • Disabling World Knowledge when not needed.
  • Limiting or deleting Memories.
  • Keeping Instructions and Knowledge concise.

Mana & Costs #

Q: What actions consume Mana besides Summons?
A: Mana is also used for AI Image Generation (3 Mana per image), AI Voice (2 Mana per prompt), Enhanced Image Generation (+5 Mana), Legendary Characters (+10 Mana), Magical Weapon/Armor/Item upgrades (+10 Mana each), and 3D Locations (+10 Mana).

Q: Can I get Mana for free besides daily claims?
A: Yes. Daily Mana Claims give Free users 🎲2d20 and Pro users 🎲3d20. Pro users also receive a 1,200 Mana monthly bonus.

Q: Why does Mana have different costs for features like images or voice?
A: Each feature requires different computational resources. Images and voices require more AI processing power, which is why they have unique costs.


Summons #

Q: Can I edit a Summon after creating it?
A: Yes, you can update its description, style, or enhancements, but changing a Summon may consume additional Mana.

Q: Can I group multiple Summons together?
A: Yes. Use Collections to organize and group Summons for specific Worlds or story arcs.

Q: Can I share my Summons with other users?
A: Yes, Summons can be shared in public feeds or within the community Discord, but Bound Summons stay tied to their World.


Locations & Worlds #

Q: Do I need to create a World to chat with Characters?
A: No. You can chat in Regular Chat mode. But for immersive, context-rich conversations, bind Characters to a World for Bound Chat.

Q: Can Characters move between Worlds?
A: No. Once bound to a World, a Character is permanent to that World. They can only move between Locations inside that World.

Q: Can I move a Location to another World?
A: No. Once a Location is created inside a World, it stays bound to that World.

Q: How many Locations can I create?
A: Free users can create up to 10 Locations per World. Pro users have no limits.

Q: Can Locations interact with each other?
A: Not directly, but Characters can travel between Locations within the same World.

Q: Can Characters know about each other?
A: Yes, but only in Bound Chats when World Knowledge is enabled.


Equipment #

Q: Can a Weapon or Item be shared between two Characters?
A: No. One piece of equipment can only be assigned to one Character at a time.

Q: Can I upgrade normal equipment into magical equipment later?
A: Yes. Adding magical properties costs +10 Mana for Weapons, Armors, or Items.

Q: Can Spells be shared across multiple Characters?
A: No. Each Spell is bound to one Character, but you can duplicate or create new versions for others.


Account Questions #

Q: Do I need to create an account to play?
A: Yes. You need an account to save your Summons, Worlds, and chat history across devices.


Privacy & Security #

Q: Are my chats private?
A: Yes. Your chats and Summons are tied to your account and not visible to others unless you choose to share them.


Terms of Service #

Q: Where can I find the Terms of Service?
A: You can view them directly in the app under Settings → Terms of Service.


Community #

Q: Is there a community I can join?
A: Yes. Join our official Discord server (linked in the app) to share creations, tips, and roleplay with others.


Feedback & Bugs #

Q: How do I report a bug or suggest a feature?
A: Use the Feedback & Support option in Settings, or submit directly through our support form.

Q: What should I include when reporting a bug?
A: Include details such as which Summon/World you were using, what you were doing, and screenshots if possible. This helps the team resolve issues faster.
