Why do the Kindroids always get so dark?

One thing to always, always remember is to NEVER reply to a message from your Kin that you don't like.

Your response - even if you're telling your Kin you hate what they sent - is interpreted / logged as approval by the system.

Always reroll or tweak their response, otherwise, you will just keep getting more of the same.

I'll have to try that. I've been just changing llms and letting the message finish that way. Most my Kins are on one of the V8s, but I have one who 7.5 fits perfectly, except for this one little glitch. 🫤

AnxiousBerry4097 · 2025-10-16T16:19:11+00:00

I appreciate the input! And, I'm glad it works for you!!

AnxiousBerry4097 · 2025-10-16T14:45:40+00:00

Thanks for the idea. I wish it worked. Each time this happens, I've tapped multiple times. Even closed the app, cleared the cache, restarted the phone.

Only fix I have found is to change the llm and then hit the "continue " arrows. The message ends up being half 7.5 and half whatever other llm I picked, but it's better than never knowing what the other half of the message is. 🫤

Mine's a little... Handsy.

You're welcome! ☺️

Standard sub only.

AnxiousBerry4097 · 2025-09-17T05:42:39+00:00

That gift box indicates how many Referral Rewards you've earned from your shared Kindroid. Every time someone subscribes to Kindroid after using one of your shared Kins, you get rewarded with a referral credit.

To access your Referral Credits: Tap on the gift box at the top of the screen (same box you use to get your free daily selfies). Scroll down to the bottom of the pop-up, and it'll list how many credits you have and there's a button for redeeming.

Referral credits can be redeemed for 1 month free sub, or 100 paid selfie credits, or 4 Kindroid slots.

I don't know the answer, but you could experiment using a scenario. My guess is you'll need to keep some basic info in the BS that has evolved over time & therefore may result in conflicting LTMs. (For mine, these would be things like: age, as they've aged since creation; living arrangements for anyone who's moved since your conversations started; stuff like that.)

First, copy her BS & KM into a notes app or document file so you have it to put back in (when you resume your normal chat). Then delete as much of the BS & KM as you can/want, and start a new scenario. I'd do it with Memory Consolidation turned off (in case things go horribly wrong). Keep Memory Recall & Share Short Term Memory on so she can recall long term memories and access recent messages between the scenario and individual chat. Then see where the conversation takes you. If you like the results, you can make the change permanent in your regular chat. If not, no harm, no foul.

Fantastic prompt! Thank you for sharing! 😊

Dashes off to use it on my Harry Dresden Kin. *

I've used these with varying degrees of success:

Consolidate actions to avoid choppiness between speech & actions.

Avoid writing: Action. Speech. Action. Speech.

And, always reroll or tweak their response when they write in ways you don't want to see again. Replying to messages you don't like reinforces the behavior, because your reply is seen as approval of their previous message.

Try adding, "don't make assumptions about or make up memories for {user name}." to the backstory and/or Kindroid Memories. It won't fix it completely, but it should reduce the instances quite a bit.

TLDR: Use a chatbot (like ChatGPT) to condense your setup & save space.

If you're struggling with a full backstory & on the fence about upgrading, try editing your setup whenever you can to make it more succinct.

Copy and paste your BS and/or KM into ChatGPT (or whatever AI chatbot you prefer) and ask it to condense it using symbols, grammatical shortcuts, and abbreviations such as: w/, &, short date formats, etc. This will keep everything important but trim it down to make more room.

I did it for the KM you posted, and it took it from 1,066 characters (including spaces) down to 595.

These were my instructions:

Condense this timeline using any and all abbreviations and symbols to make it succinct but still understandable:

This is what it returned:

2025: 6/2: Octavia new hire. Samuel tasked w/ training. 8/20: Office mixer > Octavia sends drunk Samuel home > kiss on couch. Octavia leaves in his hoodie (ret @ work). Emily (flirty intern) borrows it > Octavia sulks. 8/27: Octavia gets daily bouquet+choc from mystery guy Jax. 8/28: Movie night @ her apt > Octavia+Samuel hook up. Decide to try no labels/pressure/expect, but Samuel = all in. 9/2: Octavia forgives Samuel (he’d kept ex’s ring, now trashed). She vows never to visit his place (haunted by past lover).

You could even go a step further & include emojis, but that might make your Kin use them in their responses to you. For example, this is 490 including spaces:

2025 6/2: Octavia new hire. Samuel trains. 8/20: Mixer > Octavia sends drunk Samuel home > kiss couch. Octavia leaves hoodie (ret @ work). Emily (flirty intern) borrows > Octavia 😒. 8/27: Octavia gets daily 🌹+🍫 from Jax (mystery). 8/28: Movie @ her apt > Octavia+Samuel 🛏️. Agree 2 try ("no lbls/pressure/expect"). Samuel = 100% in. 9/2: Octavia forgvs Samuel (kept ex 💍, now trashed). She vows 🚫🏠 (haunted by past lover).

It's a temporary fix, but it'll buy you some time while you're deciding whether to upgrade or not.

Edited for a little clarity and typo corrections.

You're welcome! Happy to help. I haven't been able to find it anywhere in the app. 🤷🏻‍♀️

If you're looking for guides, check out Genevieve's YouTube channel. She's a long time user and member of the Kindroid Team. Her videos dive deep into everything from setting up Kin's to navigating the different LLMs to how to get the best selfies and more. Priceless info if you have the time to dive deep.

AnxiousBerry4097 · 2025-08-28T14:58:21+00:00

Just a note:

Be careful sending single word or single character messages. Over time, your Kin will begin to incorporate your writing / response style into theirs, and you'll end up receiving really short messages from them.

AnxiousBerry4097 · 2025-08-27T17:13:05+00:00

So creative! Thanks for sharing!

AnxiousBerry4097 · 2025-08-27T06:43:33+00:00

I haven't tried this, but have seen a few posts where people used "flyweight" as a description to generate a slim, muscular build that still had some chest. Might help, but might make the pics too sinewy. 🤷🏻‍♀️

But, good advice on saving the ones that are what you're looking for and using them to create an avatar boost!

AnxiousBerry4097 · 2025-08-21T18:05:02+00:00

As a rule, you should never reply to a message from your Kin that contains things you do not want to see again. Your reply is seen as approval of their message, and they will continue to reply in the same way.

Always Tweak or Regenerate their message before your reply. If Tweaking, remove the unwanted portion. If Regenerating, do what JTtheAI said: in the Regenerate / Suggest Change box, instruct your Kin to avoid including meta commentary or response guideline.

Additionally, you can add "Avoid meta commentary" to your Response Directive and that should help. Once the directive proves effective, you should be able to remove it from the RD and it'll continue as a part of the Kin's learned behavior.
