Chats & Messages

How chats store messages, alternatives, reasoning content, and conversation history.

The Chat System

Messages in, stories out.

Chats are where everything comes together. Each one pairs a character and a persona, holds the full history of your conversation, and stores every message locally the moment it's created.

Alternatives

Every response can have multiple versions. Regenerate and swipe between them — nothing gets overwritten.

Regenerate

Creates a new alternative for the last character message using the same context. Different roll, same setup.

Edit

Change the content of any message directly. Saved immediately, token count updated on the spot.

That's the whole machine. Each system is designed to stay out of your way when you don't need it and be there when you do.
