These models do not make the assumption that there is a You character and focus on Novel like writing. For writing these will often give you better results than Adventure or Generic models. That said, if you give it a good introduction to the story large generic models like 13B can be used if a more specific model is not available for what you wish to write. You can also try to use models that are not specific to what you wish to do, for example a NSFW Novel model for a SFW story if a SFW model is unavailable. This will mean you will have to correct the model more often because of its bias, but can still produce good enough results if it is familiar enough with your topic. +### Chatbot Mode + +In chatbot mode you can use a suitable model as a chatbot, this mode automatically adds your name to the beginning of the sentences and prevents the AI from talking as you. To use it properly you must write your story opening as both characters in the following format (You can use your own text) : + +```plaintext +Bot : Hey! +You : Hey Boyname, how have you been? +Bot : Been good! How about you? +You : Been great to, excited to try out KoboldAI +Bot : KoboldAI is really fun! +You : For sure! What is your favorite game? +``` + +Its recommended to have your own input be the last input, especially in the beginning its possible that the AI mixes up the names. In that case either retry or manually correct the name. This behavior improves as the chat progresses. Some models may swap names if they are more familiar with a different name that is similar to the name you defined for the bot. In that case you can either do the occasional manual correction or choose a name for your chatbot that the AI likes better. + +This mode works the best on either a Generic model or a chatbot model specifically designed for it, some models like the AvrilAI model are instead designed to be used in Adventure mode and do not conform to the format above. These models typically ship with adventure mode enabled by default and should not be switched over to chatbot mode. + +Novel or Adventure models are not recommended for this feature but might still work but can derail away from the conversation format quickly. + ## Play KoboldAI online for free on Google Colab (The easiest way to play) If you would like to play KoboldAI online for free on a powerful computer you can use Google Colaboraty.
