Chat Settings
Use the Settings tab to adjust this conversation, your response style, and the chat UI itself.
Open Settings from the gear in the chat header.
- on desktop, this opens the right sidepane directly on the
Settingstab - on mobile, it opens as a sheet
You can also open the character panel from the avatar or character name and switch to Settings from there.
Chat Settings
These controls are for this conversation.
Persona
Use Persona when you want to change who you are in this chat without editing the character.
It is useful for:
- switching roles between different scenarios
- keeping one character but changing your voice or setup
- testing whether the issue is your persona rather than the character itself
Memory
Use Memory when a longer chat starts feeling muddy or forgetful.
This area shows:
- the chat memory box
- active memory fragments
- tools for fragment generation or defragmenting when available
If a long-running conversation starts drifting, this is one of the first places worth checking.
If the fragment list gets crowded, use the memory tools to condense older fragments. That reduces active token usage and can make a long chat easier to steer again.
Group Chat
Use Group Chat when the current chat includes more than one character.
It lets you:
- see who is in the group
- add characters
- remove characters
For a normal one-character chat, this section matters less.
User Settings
These controls normally apply across chats.
Responses
Use Responses to shape how replies are written.
The current summary includes:
LengthNarrationPOVCustom Instructions, when set
This is the best place to change the overall feel of replies without rewriting the character itself.
One important exception
Response settings can also be overridden for just one chat. If you enable the per-chat override in the modal, those changes stop being global and affect only the current conversation.
A.I
Use A.I to check or change the active model setup.
The summary shows:
ProviderModel
If you are using the official anime.gf model stack, this is where that shows up. If you are using proxy models, this is also where the active provider and model are surfaced.
Cosmetics
Use Cosmetics when you want to change how chat looks without changing model behavior.
This section can include:
- user text color
- character text color
- user quote color
- character quote color
Input HighlightingBlockquote Mode
These are presentation settings. They do not change the character definition or the model's underlying behavior.
If the chat bar text overlaps, the caret looks offset, or the input renders strangely in your browser, Input Highlighting is one of the first things worth disabling temporarily.
A Good Mental Model
If something feels wrong in chat, check it in this order:
