Creating Group or 1 on 1 Chats on MiocAI

<h1>Creating a Chat on MiocAI: From Setup to First Message</h1> <p>MiocAI’s chat system is where all interaction begins. Whether it’s a one-on-one conversation or a group scenario with several AI characters, the creation flow follows a simple structure.</p> <hr /> <h2>1. Opening the Chat Creation Window</h2> <p>On the <strong>Chats</strong> page, click the <strong>“New Chat”</strong> button. This opens the <strong>Chat Creation Modal</strong>, your starting point for building a new conversation.</p> <p><img src="https://miocai.com/media/uploads/690170e956259_paste.png" alt="https://miocai.com/media/uploads/690170e956259_paste.png" /></p> <p>Here, you choose between a single character chat or a group chat.</p> <hr /> <h2>2. Selecting the Chat Type</h2> <p>You will be prompted to choose one of two options:</p> <ul> <li><strong>Single Character</strong> – Standard one-on-one chat with a single AI.</li> <li><strong>Group Chat</strong> – A conversation between you and multiple AI characters that interact together.</li> </ul> <hr /> <h2>3. Creating a Single Character Chat</h2> <h3>Step 1: Add a Character</h3> <p>Click <strong>“Add Character.”</strong> The selection panel will let you browse these tabs:<br /> - <strong>Favorites</strong><br /> - <strong>Public Characters</strong><br /> - <strong>My Characters</strong></p> <p>Use the search bar to find a specific name.<br /> After picking the character, click <strong>“Confirm.”</strong></p> <p><img src="https://miocai.com/media/uploads/690171352f69e_paste.png" alt="https://miocai.com/media/uploads/690171352f69e_paste.png" /></p> <h3>Step 2: Adjust Chat Settings</h3> <p>Available options:<br /> - <strong>Enable Images</strong> – Allows the AI to send generated images in chat.<br /> - <strong>Long Term Memory</strong> – Keeps chat memory persistent across sessions.</p> <h3>Step 3: Start Chat</h3> <p>Once a character is chosen, the <strong>“Start Chat”</strong> button becomes active. Click it to open your new session.</p> <p><img src="https://miocai.com/media/uploads/6901715d4faf5_paste.png" alt="https://miocai.com/media/uploads/6901715d4faf5_paste.png" /></p> <h2>4. Creating a Group Chat</h2> <h3>Step 1: Name the Chat (Optional)</h3> <p>Enter a custom name in the <strong>Chat Name</strong> field if you want to label it for later.</p> <h3>Step 2: Add Characters</h3> <p>Click <strong>“Add Character.”</strong> You can pick two or more. Each selected character highlights in the list.<br /> Click <strong>“Confirm”</strong> when done. You can remove unwanted selections with the <strong>“X”</strong> icon next to each name.</p> <p><img src="https://miocai.com/media/uploads/6901718d4e24a_paste.png" alt="" /></p> <h3>Step 3: Configure Group Settings</h3> <p>Available options:<br /> - <strong>Enable Images</strong><br /> - <strong>Auto Scenario</strong> – Lets the AI steer the narrative context dynamically.<br /> - <strong>Long Term Memory</strong></p> <h3>Step 4: Set Scene (Optional)</h3> <p>Use the <strong>Scenario</strong> button to define the starting premise or environment for the group.</p> <p><img src="https://miocai.com/media/uploads/690171cc3ea90_paste.png" alt="https://miocai.com/media/uploads/690171cc3ea90_paste.png" /></p> <h3>Step 5: Start the Chat</h3> <p>You need at least two characters to activate <strong>Start Chat</strong>. Once clicked, your new group chat launches immediately.</p> <hr /> <h2>5. Chat Behavior and Dynamics</h2> <h3>In Single Chats</h3> <ul> <li>You can generate context-aware images if the setting is enabled.</li> <li>Messages evolve linearly with memory continuity.</li> </ul> <h3>In Group Chats</h3> <ul> <li>Bots take turns responding based on internal logic.</li> <li>The participants list appears at the top for reference.</li> <li>The system manages who speaks next without breaking the conversation flow.</li> </ul> <p>I will write another article outlining group chat mechanics in detail at a later point in time.</p> <hr /> <h2>6. Behind the Scenes</h2> <p>When you click <strong>Start Chat</strong>, MiocAI automatically:<br /> 1. Builds a new session with linked user and character data<br /> 2. Loads memory if enabled<br /> 3. Manages response routing between all characters<br /> 4. Initializes scenario context</p> <p>The process takes seconds and ensures stability for both one-on-one and group sessions.</p> <hr /> <h2>7. Managing Your Chats</h2> <p>All active and archived chats appear under the main <strong>Chats</strong> page. From there you can rename, delete, or resume any ongoing conversation.</p> <p><img src="https://miocai.com/media/uploads/6901723632ea4_paste.png" alt="https://miocai.com/media/uploads/6901723632ea4_paste.png" /></p> <h2>8. Recommendations</h2> <ul> <li>Keep scenarios short; they clarify tone and direction.</li> <li>Distinguish characters’ personalities to prevent repetition in group chats.</li> <li>Use <code>/cmd</code> or <code>/ooc</code> commands to guide or clarify when needed.</li> </ul> <hr /> <h2>Closing Note</h2> <p>Every chat in MiocAI begins with a simple modal and unfolds into an open-ended world of interaction. The setup defines tone and structure, but the conversation builds itself dynamically through each message.</p>
