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 Settings tab
  • 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.

The Settings tab in the anime.gf character panel on anime.gf.
Settings opens inside the character panel and is split into Chat Settings for this conversation and User Settings lower down for broader chat behavior.

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:

  • Length
  • Narration
  • POV
  • Custom 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:

  • Provider
  • Model

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 Highlighting
  • Blockquote 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:

  1. Responses if the writing style is wrong across many chats
  2. Persona if your side of the exchange feels wrong
  3. Memory if a long chat is drifting
  4. the character's greeting or examples if the problem is structural
