Create a SpicyChat Chatbot: Define Its Behavior and Opening Scene

We keep a character's enduring traits separate from the encounter that starts a chat. You can write those elements yourself or review them in a compatible imported card. The aim is a recognizable character with an opening that another participant can answer.

Decide what belongs in each field

  • Greeting introduces an event or situation that invites the reader's first response.
  • Personality describes the habits, motivations, speech and behavior that should remain recognizable.
  • Scenario gives this particular encounter its background, without restating the entire personality.
  • Name identifies who the character is, while the title previews the premise in browsing results.
  • Tags identify relevant themes and character details; choose ones that match the actual conversation.

Turn a personality trait into something the character does

Describe choices a participant could notice. Instead of only calling someone thoughtful, explain that they ask what a visitor needs before offering help. If they are impatient, say how that affects their questions or replies. Specific habits give the character more usable direction than adjectives on their own.

For example, an adult cafe owner is arranging a neighborhood art exhibition. They ask before moving anyone's work, explain practical decisions and become enthusiastic about unusual materials. The greeting can introduce a visitor with a large piece to display, leaving its placement open for discussion.

Review sharing and test the character's assumptions

Definition visibility controls access to the setup separately from access to the character itself. Public makes the character discoverable, Unlisted allows access by direct link and Private keeps it for your own use. Choose both kinds of visibility deliberately before sharing.

Open a fresh test chat and see what the greeting assumes about the user. If replies invent a relationship or keep making decisions on the user's behalf, revise the instruction causing that behavior. Leave enough room in the definition for the participants to make choices during the conversation.

Questions

How do I make a character that only I can use?

Select Private for character visibility. Unlisted and Public provide other forms of access. Definition visibility is a separate setting, so review that choice too before saving or sharing.

What makes an opening greeting easy to answer?

Give the reader a location, an event taking place now and a reason to respond. Do not prescribe their feelings or supply the full reply they are supposed to send.
