Can I move a Chai character to another app?
Copy the text of the character and take screenshots of the profile. This works for any app. LifeSim is not made by Chai and is not connected to it. The import only reads what you give it.
What to copy from Chai
- Open the character in Chai.
- Copy the text that describes the character, or write it down. Its name and its first message help too.
- If you made the bot yourself, copy the text you wrote for it.
- Take screenshots of the profile, with the picture.
Good to know about Chai
Chai runs as a phone app, and as Chai Web, a separate site. Either one works. LifeSim only needs the text and the screenshots.
Screenshots with text on them help too. LifeSim reads the text in them.
How to add the character in LifeSim
- Press Import a character on this page. It opens the LifeSim builder with the import sheet open. In the builder, the same button is next to the + in the row of people.
- Paste the text of the character, up to 8,000 characters.
- Add up to 4 screenshots (3 as a guest). LifeSim reads the text in them and draws the looks from them.
- LifeSim writes the person. Check each field, and change anything you want. Then start your life.
What comes over
- The first and last name
- The age and the gender
- Who they are to you, for example "my roommate" or "my boyfriend"
- A job
- The personality
- The past
- A life goal
- The looks. LifeSim draws a new portrait in its own style, from the avatar or the screenshots.
What stays in Chai
- Your chat history, and what the character remembers from your chats
- The voice
- The original picture. LifeSim only uses it to draw a new one.
- Example dialogues
- Lorebooks
- System prompts and instructions to the AI, as such
Up to 6 people come in with one import. A life can start with you and up to 15 other people. You can edit every field after the import.
Content and privacy
LifeSim is rated 13+. Sexual content never comes over. When a character has some, the import leaves it out and tells you. When a character is built around sexual content, the import refuses it, and nothing is added.
Characters under 18 get no romantic or sexual details. Imported people pass the same checks as anything you type in the builder.
LifeSim reads the link, the file, or the text to write the people. It stores the screenshots you add on its servers.
What happens in LifeSim
LifeSim is a free life sim. You pick a real city on a 3D map of Earth, and you live there. The people you import live there too. They have homes, jobs, and friends, and their week goes on while you are away.
You talk to them in your own words, and they remember what you said. It plays in the browser at play.lifesim.com, and there is an iPhone app. There are no ads and nothing to buy. Read what LifeSim is.
