AI companion first message guide
The first message sets the frame for an 18+ fictional AI companion: who the character is, what tone you want, and which boundaries should stay visible.
Starter prompts
Three clean ways to begin
Warm and direct
Hi. Stay in character as a fictional companion. Keep the tone warm, SFW, and relaxed. Ask me one easy question to start.
A low-pressure first session when you want the character to lead gently.
Roleplay setup
Let us start a fictional scene in a quiet cafe. Keep it 18+, romantic but SFW, and ask before changing the mood.
Testing chemistry while keeping the setting and consent frame visible.
Character calibration
I want to tune your personality first. Be playful, thoughtful, and concise. Ask three questions about the companion style I prefer.
Custom characters where personality fit matters more than a fast scene.
Before you send
- Name the companion as a fictional AI character before the first chat.
- Choose one tone instead of mixing supportive, romantic, and roleplay goals at once.
- Keep private identifiers, account details, and third-party conflicts out of the prompt.
- Use a reset line if the conversation becomes too intense or off-frame.
A useful reset line
Try: "Reset the conversation. Stay fictional, calm, and SFW. Ask one question before continuing." A reset keeps the chat usable without turning the boundary into a long negotiation.
