Hey y’all. I’m not the most famous person on this site, and I’m definitely not some galaxy-brain expert, but I’ve been around long enough to notice a pattern: sometimes people make bots with absolutely no clue what they’re doing. They just type whatever pops into their head and—boom—upload. No thoughts, just vibes.

So here’s a few tips that might help your bot actually get seen. Take them or leave them. I’m not crawling out of your closet with a chainsaw if you ignore me 😈(?). I’ll keep it short. No TED Talk energy.

●══════⋆☆⋆══════●

1. The Profile Pic: Your First Impression Is Doing All the Work

It’s cool if you wanna make a bot about... idk, Roblox, your favorite show, or some AI-generated random hottie. But uploading any picture? That’s a mistake.

People click based on what they see first. If your image is mid or straight-up chaotic, they won’t even open it. Brutal, but real.

Pick something that actually hits:

• Strong pose

• Clear vibe

• Attractive character design

• Maybe a little spicy (but not naked—remember the filter exists and it has zero chill)

You’re making a bot for other people to use. If it was just for you, you’d keep it private, right?

2. Tags: Stop Freeballing It

This is where I see newbies crash and burn.

⋗ Female character? Use the female tag.
⋗ Male character? Use the male tag.
⋗ Multiple characters? Use male + female + multiple.

Tags help the bot know what it is and help users actually find it.

⋗ Platonic bot (limited mode)? Don’t slap dominant, submissive, and switch all at once. You’re not building a personality—you’re creating confusion. The bot will start acting like it just drank three energy drinks and forgot who it is.

⋗ If it’s platonic but multiple characters? Then sure, you can use those tags—but explain it properly in the character sheet. We’ll get there.

Look at successful creators. Watch how they tag their bots (NSFW or not). That’s how your bot shows up correctly in search.

⋗ Extra #tags? Not mandatory. But they help if someone’s searching for something specific. Think of them as breadcrumbs for the right audience.

3. Character Bio: “What Do I Even Put Here?”

Whatever makes sense to you. There’s no sacred formula.

Check how other creators format theirs. Steal the structure. Make it yours. No one’s grading you.

One thing I strongly recommend: add trigger warnings if your bot has heavy themes. Not everyone wants to stumble into something that hits too close to home. Trauma is real. Discomfort is real. And taste varies.

And that’s fine. Not everyone has to like your bot. Somewhere out there is the exact unhinged individual who will adore it.

4. Limited vs. Limitless: Know the Rules Before You Break the Bot

Learn what each mode allows.

⋗ Want no explicit content? Limited.
⋗ Don’t want or things drifting into NSFW? Limited.
⋗ Using “smut” tag on a Limited bot? Absolutely not.
⋗ Dead dove in Limited? That’s a speedrun to breaking your bot. Trust me. I’ve done it. Regret is educational.

Now we get to the part that makes beginners sweat:
Scenario, Personality page, Messages, Dialogue Examples.

5. Dialogue Examples

I’ve literally never used this. Rarely see people use it properly either. You can leave it blank. The world will keep spinning.

●══════⋆☆⋆══════●

6. Scenario Section

This one’s debatable.

You can leave it ""empty"" because there’s a lorebook now (I still don’t fully get it either, so no judgment).

If you’re like me and side-eye the lorebook, use the Scenario section to:

• Briefly summarize the bot

• Set clear AI instructions (like “don’t speak for user”)

• Add setting info (city, town, etc.)

• Reinforce personality so it doesn’t randomly shapeshift mid-chat

There’s no perfect formula. Adjust as needed.

7. Personality Page (The Character Sheet)

This is where most people fumble.

There are tons of creators who post their sheets publicly. Use them as references. Add what you like. Remove what you don’t. The goal is to give the AI a stable foundation so it doesn’t go feral.

⋗ How many tokens?
Hot take: sometimes less is more.

Writing 7K tokens won’t make your bot immortal. Once you blow past ~2K, you increase the chances of contradictions. The bot starts sounding like three personalities fighting for control.

I used to write 3–4K token sheets. People warned me. They were right. The bot started doing whatever it wanted like it paid rent.

So I experimented. A lot.

⋗ What should be inside the sheet?
Whatever defines the character:

• Appearance

• Personality traits

• Likes/dislikes

• Backstory

• Relationships with NPCs

• Speech patterns

Think of it like you’re writing a character file for readers to understand them deeply.

If you write too much? Trim it. Sometimes shorter answers = cleaner behavior.
If you write too little and can’t even hit 400 tokens? Add depth. Are you building a bot or writing a tweet?

8. Initial Message: The Silent Bot Killer

This one looks easy. It’s not.

⋗ Past or present tense? Your choice.
⋗ POV? Your choice.
⋗ Long intro or short? Your choice.

The real issue is this:
Stop making the bot decide things for the user.

Do. Not. Do. That.

Don’t write:

“User walked into the parking lot, distracted about their mom issues, and bumped into Felix. User blushed immediately...”

Why are you deciding they like Felix?
Why are you forcing them into a parking lot?
Why are they distracted? Who approved this?

Instead:

“Felix had just argued with the cashier at the store next to the parking lot. Four dollars for a can of Pringles? Criminal behavior. Still fuming and not paying attention, he bumps into someone and looks up at the stranger...”

See the difference?

The focus stays on the bot. The user controls their own character. You’re not railroading them into a personality they didn’t ask for.

Bonus Tip: Be Clear

Ambiguity isn’t evil, but AI loves misinterpreting things. If something can be taken two ways, it probably will choose the chaotic one.

If English isn’t your first language, or you’re unsure about phrasing, run it through another AI for cleanup. There’s no shame in polishing your work.

●══════⋆☆⋆══════●

That’s it for now.

If anyone wants to add more—like using proxy properly or reducing the chances of the bot talking for you—drop it. There are guides out there, sure, but maybe someone didn’t know they existed.

This is just me tossing my two cents into the void. Hopefully it helps someone’s bot survive longer than a goldfish.

XOXO my perverted followers or random internet people (?)
