AI Instructions
AI Instructions can be used to tell the AI how to generate responses during your game. This text is included at the beginning of the context and gives the AI a list of directions that influence its behavior. You can use instructions to have the AI avoid certain topics or phrases, dictate the first, second, or third-person point of view, or control different aspects of your story.

Story Summary
Story Summary can be used to give the AI a short summary of your Adventure’s plot to help it track the overall direction of your story. This text is also included at the beginning of the context and can keep the AI from losing the storyline. If you’re a Premium player, the Memory System Auto Summarization feature is supported by this Story Summary Plot Component. Learn more about using Story Summary →
Plot Essentials
Plot Essentials (formerly called Memory) can be used to increase the AI’s accuracy during gameplay. This text is included at the beginning of the context, too, and keeps the AI informed about the most important aspects of your game. You could include details about unique and relevant parts of your character and their immediate companions, the story’s setting, or any other overarching story points that aren’t always mentioned but are always relevant.

Author’s Note
Author’s Note can be used to give the AI details about the story’s genre(s), your preferred writing style, or overall tone. This text is sent to the AI toward the end of every player input to keep it informed about how it should generate a response. Learn more about using Author’s Note →
Third Person
Third Person perspective is primarily used for Multiplayer games where multiple characters are adding Do and Say inputs simultaneously. When this component is enabled, everyone in the Adventure will be prompted to enter a name for their character, and that name will be used for their Do and Say actions during gameplay.
