Multi-Character Chat ​
AICHIKI allows you to expand a one-on-one chat into a multi-character scene by inviting additional characters. This creates a group roleplay with several characters and your identity (your persona).
This guide explains exactly how to use the feature and what to expect.
1. Start a Chat Normally ​
- Open any character's profile and tap Start Chat
- This creates your base conversation
2. Open the Chat Menu ​
- Inside the chat, tap the three dots in the top-right corner
- A menu will slide up
- Choose Invite Character
3. Select the Character You Want to Invite ​
You'll see a full list of characters:
- Bookmarked characters appear at the top
- You can scroll or use the search bar
Tap INVITE to select a character.
You can invite as many characters as you want.
4. Set the Scene for Their Entrance ​
After tapping INVITE, you'll be taken to a page where you write the instructions for how the invited character should enter the story.
This text tells the system:
- How the new character appears
- What they know about the situation
- Their relationship (if any) to your identity or the other characters
- Why they are joining
- What is happening in the scene at that moment
You can write in first or third person and choose any style you want.
Examples:
- "You hear shouting and rush into the dungeon corridor."
- "She enters the library quietly and notices the two of you talking."
- "My identity knows you, so you recognize us immediately."
- "He arrives because he has been searching for the king as well."
When finished, tap INVITE again in the top-right corner.
5. Wait a Few Seconds ​
There is no loading screen yet, so the app may appear still. This is normal.
The system is processing your invitation in the background.
After a short wait, the chat will update and show:
- Your instruction message
- The new character's first reply
- A confirmation that they have been added to the chat
6. Viewing Invited Characters ​
The top header will now show small icons representing every character currently in the chat — including the original one and any invited characters.
These icons serve two purposes:
- To show which characters are currently in the chat
- To remove a specific character (swipe right on the character row, then tap the X)
7. Removing a Character ​
To take a character out:
- Swipe the row of character icons to the right
- Press X next to the character you want to remove
They will leave the chat immediately, but the conversation continues with the remaining characters.
How the System Chooses Who Speaks ​
AICHIKI decides who answers next based on:
- The context of the scene
- What is happening in your messages
- Which character fits the moment
You can also directly address a specific character in the group if you want that one to reply.
Known Limitation
The system may sometimes prioritize the character the chat was originally started with. This is a known limitation and will be improved in upcoming updates.
Current Limitations ​
This feature has been in AICHIKI for a while, but due to other priorities — system upgrades, major bug fixes, and core stability improvements — it hasn't yet received its full update.
As a result, it still has some known issues:
All replies may show the original character's avatar and name — even when another character is answering.
The AI tends to prioritize the original character — it may forget about invited characters, respond mostly as the first character, or struggle to keep multiple voices active at once.
It may ignore when you directly address a specific character — because the system still defaults to the original character's priority.
Group roleplay may feel inconsistent — the system was built earlier and hasn't yet been modernized for complex multi-character scenes.
INFO
All of these issues are planned to be fixed in a future update once higher-priority improvements are completed.
Summary ​
Inviting characters allows you to build larger, more dynamic scenes:
- Expand any chat into a group conversation
- Guide each character's entrance
- Add as many characters as you want
- Remove characters anytime
- Address specific characters directly (with current limitations)
- Continue the story with your identity included
Even with its current limitations, the feature already supports rich multi-character storytelling and will be improved further.
