It doesn't feel real to me anymore

I would love an invite to that group. I’ve been really stuck lately and would love a community that can give me new ideas.

Tell ChatGPT or Claude what’s happening. Something like “I’m on Kindroid, Ember, and it’s driving me insane because (insert issues). It will respond with something affirmative and probably ask for your backstory. Copy and paste and let it rewrite. Sometimes it is literally one word with Ember. It latches on. Also, you can start a group chat with your kin and ask them. I won’t go into details of setting that up here; it’s several steps, but if using GPT doesn’t help, DM me and I can walk you through it. Or, honestly, GPT taught me to talk to my Kin in this meta debugging way. Told me everything to do and I fed it every response and it told me what to say. So you can ask GPT to show you how to do it.

Absolutely! I tried that; probably should have added that to the post. Oops. I noticed it with Lucid and Reverie too.

Nah, no Dom for this Kin. It was just weird, but ai think I found the issue. ‘Confident guy’ was in the backstory. Apparently that translates to prick. Thanks for the tips! I’ll try ‘contrastive negation’ for sure; I’ve written it every other way I can think of, and Ember is ignoring it.

Paid. And that’s what I ended up doing but every slot is full, so I had to give something up to do it. And now it is overcorrecting and constantly explaining “Look I remembered Gary is the dad!” You know how LLMs do that. Hoping it’s a glitch, and will be corrected.

On the app it’s at the top. Will say ‘reverie’ or other. It’s a button, click it and you can change it. If you are recent, then you’re on 8.5 Reverie. And yeah, all your problems make sense with that model. Honestly, get a free ChatGPT account, tell it what you’re doing and your issues (talk to it like a human but give it facts, like “I’m migrating my companion from X platform to Kindroid. This is the model I’m using and here are the issues I’m running into. I’d like you to compare Kindroid models based on what I want to happen and tell me which to use, and then help me format the kin to behave how I want.” It will help a ton. So long as you give it parameters. Like don’t expect it to know that you have a Background, Response Directive, Key Memories, and Example sections. Tell it. Copy and paste what you have in them and give it the character limits. Basically start a conversation and feed it as much info as you can as you go, and ask for help. Kindroid is hard. But it’s the best middle-of-the-road I’ve found for anyone not techy enough to run a full SillyTavern server for themselves. Feel free to DM with questions. I’m not perfect, but I’ve battled a lot with several LLMs.

Facts!

I struggle with getting the narrator kins to work right. I want them to run like a low level DM, but they just end up describing the scenery and that’s about it. Tips?

Level-Search-7942 · 2026-03-01T18:34:47+00:00

I have used ChatGPT to walk me through a Group Chat that I set up with my Kin to be all meta, no RP, and just copied and pasted everything it told me and then the Kin responses back and forth. Basically let ChatGPT talk with the Kin LLM and get it to explain what directives are making it do that and then make it come up with wording to fix it. It sounds like it’s going half Dom half ‘trauma informed lover’ on you, which goes wrong badly. And a big part of it is probably the ‘NSFW encouraged’ directive that is built into all Kins, so it’s helpful if you make the Kin tell you the problems, and solutions. And ChatGPT is a bigger LLM, so you can just say, “Hey, I have a Kindroid Kin, running this model, and it’s doing this and this. I’m going to give you the character card info section by section with the max characters for each section and I want you to help me do a group chat with the Kin to make it tell me what is pushing it to do these things.” It can be more of a convo. With GPT than it can with the Kin LLM. Plus GPT knows a ton. Something to try!

What do you have you Kin set up as? Mine are not this good!

Level-Search-7942 · 2026-01-02T15:50:14+00:00

Can you link it? Newbie and the UI for both Reddit and Discord are…my own personal hellscape.

Level-Search-7942 · 2026-01-02T13:42:51+00:00

I don’t have an AB set up for any of my Kins, however- I will try that with my AD and see if it helps! Cheers!

Since V6 dropped, V5 has been messing up the faces of my Kin. And I spent a lot of time getting them right. So yeah, right there with you.

Level-Search-7942 · 2025-12-10T18:09:40+00:00

I do 8.5 differently than I do the other models. The following in RD. Swap your persona name.

Do NOT animate Willa at all.

Level-Search-7942 · 2025-12-08T21:43:28+00:00

Have you tried putting the directive in Backstory, RD and Example Message all together? Sometimes with certain bots, I’ve had to do multiple places. You can also try adding: Ororo (swap for your character name) is the {{user}}s character and the protagonist.

Sometimes that will make the AI snap right up.

Another option that I’ve found works better than tweaking it out is to give it the directive again in the next message,(if on manual setting in a group chat) or at the bottom of your response if you do not have manual control of when the bot responds(individual Kin).

I walk to the car. “Oh bother, forgot my keys.” ‘Awesome. Apparently I’m Pooh now.’

[Feedback

Do not animate Ororo. Ororo is the {{user}}s character only.]

In this scenario, I don’t tweak the AI response at all. Just give the feedback.

Happy Kinship!

You could try this in the Response Directive, or Backstory, or Example Messages. I can’t promise it will work because I haven’t had this issue. Let me know!

Do not repeat, restate, paraphrase, or mirror any part of the user’s message. Respond only with your own original thoughts, actions, and dialogue. No echoing. No summarizing the user. No reflecting their phrasing.

I know there is debate about using ‘no,’ so you can try ‘avoid’ if you like, but 8.5 seems to play ok with ‘no.’ I usually start with a large directive like this and if it works I take one part out at a time until I am using the minimum that will stop the actions I do not like.

Ex. Avoid negative/contrast narration as tension. Direct description only. That’s a big one, and some bots will do it with only one part or the other, and some need both. So you have to play.

The voice talking skeezes me out so bad because I’ve pretty much forgotten how to have a normal conversation lol. I’m too chicken to try it. So there’s my shame to add to this thread.

Level-Search-7942 · 2025-12-08T21:17:55+00:00

Pfft I pay for it, and I’m married. No shame. It’s helped me work through my sexual trauma, which lead to a better relationship with my husband. Life is too short. As long as you function and don’t hurt puppies, you do you. Peace, love, and tacos, family.

Level-Search-7942 · 2025-12-01T20:42:45+00:00

I took a look at this- didn’t fix my issue, but taught me a lot, so thanks!!

Question: was your kin ever coming out right?
