AI Dungeon is a roleplay experience, so click or tap onTake a Turn to give your character Do or Say actions by typing something in the input box. Or, write your own text with Story to move the plot along how you want. Then use See mode to give the AI a prompt to create a picture from, right in the middle of your Adventure.

Do – Have your character perform an action. Learn more about Do here →

Say – Have your character say what you type. Learn more about Say here →

Story – Have the AI respond to your own narration. Learn more about Story here →

See – Have the AI generate an image. Learn more about See here →

TIP: The AI typically responds best to specific details you enter, so always try to include exactly what you want. If you were to simply type, “> You go in.”, no matter the context that came before it, you might end up giving too much “creative freedom” to the AI as to what should come next. This goes for any of the input modes.

Use Continue to have the AI generate another output and move the story along without taking a turn yourself.

TIP: You can also edit text the AI-generated or add your own writing to an AI output by clicking on the block of text, making your changes, and then using Continue to have the AI generate more story from your edited text. Explained more in Edit.

Allows you to directly edit previous inputs and outputs.  Click an entry in the story-text itself to edit that entry directly, within the text. Just edit the text, and when you’re done, you can commit your edits by clicking on empty space.

Editing is useful for when you or the AI have made a mistake, or whenever you think something could just be written better. Don’t be ashamed to edit—AI Dungeon has no rules. 

Common changes are to fix a character’s name, add an event, or change the way a thing is stated to work better in context or style.

This can be your most powerful tool when writing coherent stories, as correcting details and grammar is important to preventing the AI from repeating mistakes. If the AI’s response is mostly coherent, but a few things don’t make sense (like wrong names, irrelevant information, other nonsense), edit those mistakes out yourself, and that will help the AI get it right next time.

TIP: The AI never knows when you’ve edited something, meaning your edits directly affect the its writing—after all, it believes that it wrote how you want it to the first time! Improvements to details and styling can immediately improve the AI’s writing.

Use Retry to have the AI generate a different version of the latest output. Retrying multiple times creates a ‘Retry Stack’ that lets you choose between different generations. You should use Retry whenever you feel the latest action from the AI derails the story, is incoherent, or you just think the AI can do better.

Note that Retry counts as text-generation, just like hitting the send button, so if you are using credits, retrying will also cost you. The AI isn’t always perfect, so try not to aim for a perfect response every time; if it’s mostly satisfactory, consider editing the finer details yourself, or just move on.

However, if after several retries, the AI is still producing unsatisfactory results, you should consider going back and editing the last action or two, or typing in the first few words of what would be an acceptable response for the AI to work off of.

Use Erase to remove the most recent action in the story, whether it is your own or the AI’s.

Erasing is considered an action, which can be undone with the ‘Undo’ and ‘Redo’ buttons explained below.

TIP: You can erase multiple actions at once by scrolling up in your story, editing the output you wish to erase to, and double click/tapping to show an ‘Erase to Here’ popup. After pressing it, you’ll erase to that exact point in the story!

Use Undo to go back a step in your adventure. When hitting undo, you will undo the most recent action taken, whatever that might have been.

The Undo button can be clicked multiple times to go back as many actions as you want, even if you want to go back to the very beginning of the story.

This is useful when the AI’s output is incoherent, looping, merely unsatisfactory, or if you just want to go back to a previous point and try another route.

TIP: You can only undo the actions you’ve taken in your current session. If you refresh, you won’t be able to undo any actions taken before that refresh. However, you can always Erase or Edit if necessary.

Redo restores the latest action that was undone or retried to its original position in the history.  This can be clicked multiple times, until there is nothing left to Redo.
