Chat with your character in Persona Chat

Persona Chat lets you talk to one of your characters and get replies written in that character's voice, drawn from its profile and personality. It is a creative tool for exploring tone and ideas. Responses are AI-generated in character and are not real messages from a real person.

A character is more than a face - it has a voice. Persona Chat lets you talk to one of your characters and get replies written in their voice, so you can explore how they would respond, test ideas, and develop their personality. This guide covers how it works and what to keep in mind.

Replies in your character's voice

Persona Chat reads your character's profile - its description, tags, and personality - and uses that to write in-character replies. The more developed the character's profile, the more its voice has to draw on. It draws on the shared persona system used elsewhere in the product, so a character feels coherent wherever it speaks.

Use it to develop a character

  • Test how your character reacts to different prompts before you build content around them.
  • Refine their voice by adjusting the personality profile and chatting again.
  • Explore ideas and scenarios that you might later turn into images or video.
  • Build a clearer sense of who the character is across your whole library.

How it connects to the rest of Studio

Persona Chat sits alongside the AI chat assistant and your generations, so the character you talk to is the same one you create images with. Developing a character's voice in chat and refining its look in Studio reinforce each other. There are limits on how many AI messages a plan includes, which the pricing page lays out.
