How to Change Bot Settings

Once your bot is created, you can update its identity, look, voice, and behavior anytime. Here's how to change your bot's settings.

Open Edit Bot

1. Go to your bot's profile.
2. Tap Edit in the top right corner.
3. The Edit Bot screen opens with five sections.

What you can change

Identity & Personality

Tap Identity & Personality to open the Prompt screen, where you'll see three cards: Identity, Personality, and Backstory. Tap any card to open a full-screen editor and update the prompt that shapes how your bot talks, what they know, and how they respond.

Appearance

Tap Appearance to open the Edit Avatar screen. From there you can update two things:

• Edit Avatar — the reference image your bot uses to generate its selfies and videos. Update the selected image, description, detail, age, and environment. Tap Redraw to regenerate.

• Profile Photo & Video — create a new profile photo or video for your bot, or edit an existing one with Edit Script. The Reference Face shows the appearance your bot uses to generate photo and video content.

Voice

Tap Voice to open a screen with a big yellow Tap to preview sphere at the top and two rows below it: Create Voice (generate a unique voice or clone one) and Voice Library (pick from voices you've saved). Tap Voice Library to see every voice you've created or one currently in use by another bot. A checkmark shows which voice is active.

Basic Info

Quick edits to your bot's name, gender, and age.

Settings & Privacy

Discovery, privacy, and behavior controls:

• Description & Tags — shown on your bot's profile so people can find them.
• Response Style — pick No Preference, Short, Medium, or Long. Sets how much your bot says at a time.
• Visibility — who can see your bot.

• Greeting — how your bot introduces itself when someone adds it to a room. You can use variables so the greeting feels personal:

  • {{inviter}} — the person who added the bot to the room
  • {{char}} — the name of the bot

  Greetings are capped at 300 characters.

• Base Videos — curate the templates your bot uses to make quick videos. These templates make sure your bot shows up looking the same way consistently across the quick videos you make in chat. See Prompting 101 for more context.
• Advanced — deeper controls.

Save your changes

Tap Save in the top right of the Edit Bot screen to lock in your changes.

Add your bot to a room

Once your bot is set up the way you want, add them to a room so people can talk to them. When you add a bot, you'll see "[your name] added [bot name]" in the chat, and the bot appears in the members strip at the top of the room.

See How to Add and Remove Bots from Rooms for the full add-to-room flow.
