Candy AI vs Nomi AI: organize what each character needs to know
Suppose your companion knows a detail that the rest of a fictional group has not heard. Nomi provides Backstory+, editable Mind Maps and group-specific context for handling that distinction. Our Premium Plus tools include memory slots, user personas and chat cloning. Choose between updating information and preserving a separately continuing conversation; those are different changes.
Topics in this article
Keep enduring background apart from the immediate roleplay
Backstory+ in Nomi contains Backstory, Current Roleplay, Preferences and Boundaries for companion and shared-world information. Use the appropriate background for continuing relationship details and Current Roleplay for the event underway. For an adult astronomer preparing for an eclipse, an enduring preference and tonight's fictional observation plan belong to different kinds of context.
Nomi's Mind Map offers editable summaries, may update them automatically and lets you lock individual entries. A summary edit does not erase the underlying experiences it describes. Our memory slots provide another way to organize information, not a promise of exhaustive recall or a numerical match for Nomi's context capacity.
Provide the group with the knowledge its scene requires
Nomi groups let you select the responding companion or use Auto-play for automatic turns. Put the setting and shared role information in the group's Backstory. A group member does not automatically inherit every other participant's complete individual Backstory+. For an observatory scene, make a shared access rule part of group context rather than leaving it only in one companion's background.
A group's Mind Map belongs to that group and remains separate from individual conversations. Our cloning instead copies an existing chat's history into an independent continuation while keeping the original. It is a way to preserve another story direction, not a means of choosing the next group speaker or assembling a cast.
Distinguish your role, a context update and a copied chat
| Context or conversation need | Candy AI | Nomi AI |
|---|---|---|
| Define the part you play | Use an available user persona for your role, not the companion's personality | Backstory+ holds companion and shared-world information; it is not the same setting as our user persona |
| Pursue a different scene | Eligible cloning gives existing history a separately continuing copy | Revise Current Roleplay or group context; changing instructions does not preserve an independent chat |
| Manage a cast's turns | Memory slots organize details rather than supply a matching group-speaker control | Choose a responding companion manually or advance turns with Auto-play |
| Request a scene picture | Describe the visible content for the selected companion's image action | Use a contextual selfie request informed by the companion and chat |
A note changes the context available to a conversation; a clone preserves a separately developing history; group controls direct participation. Work out which of those you need before editing. Similar story goals do not mean the services share information, retain experiences or isolate conversations in identical ways.
Prepare selfie context and check voice conditions separately
For a contextual Nomi selfie, describe the companion's location, activity and clothes during the conversation, then choose the camera beside the chat field. The request relies chiefly on the companion and current exchange. That flow differs from supplying a standalone picture prompt, so do not assume both accept the same inputs.
Paid Nomi calls require microphone permission and use the text chat's history. In-house voices are included; optional ElevenLabs voices are still governed by the external plan's limits. Our supported calls and reply listening have their own token conditions. Identify the voice action you want before assuming that ordinary text access covers it.
Use slot credits for companion or room capacity
In Nomi's profile menu, open Credits to review purchases of extra companion slots or group rooms beyond the paid allocation. Those credits buy additional capacity, not packs of messages. Distinguish a room from a companion slot before spending, and check which extra space the intended purchase adds.
For our image generation and audio, review the account eligibility and individual token charge. Membership alone does not make every surrounding feature unlimited. Editing a background note or summary also has no bearing on those separate media-spending requirements; decide what information to revise and what action to fund independently.
Your questions
Does rewriting a Mind Map entry erase the experiences it summarizes?
No. An editable entry is a summary, not an experience-deletion control. Change the wording with that distinction in mind: revising a context note does not reset the companion or remove the underlying experiences associated with it.
Where should I put a fact the whole Nomi cast needs?
Use the group's Backstory for common setting information. Participants do not receive one another's full individual Backstory+ automatically. A detail stored only in an individual background should not be treated as knowledge already supplied to everyone in the group.
How should I set up the context for a Nomi selfie?
Establish the companion's clothing, activity and setting in the conversation before choosing the selfie camera. For our dedicated image action, put the intended visible details into the image request itself. The two routes obtain their scene instructions differently.
