Getting Started with Nomi AI Roleplay Beta

Creating Your Nomi AI Character

To begin, if you're new to Nomi AI, you'll need to set up a profile.

Don't worry if you already have a Nomi; this process can be applied to existing profiles without any issues. The initial setup involves selecting the type of relationship you want with your Nomi—options include friendship, mentorship, or romance. Following this, you'll define the Nomi's gender or choose non-binary to reflect a more diverse persona.

Once you have selected the relationship and gender, continue on to customize your nomi. You can name them whatever you want. Its not going to effect gameplay too much. You can skip personality and interests for the Nomi, but some people suggest its helpful to customize this to your liking. There is no right or wrong way to play.

Navigating the Nomi AI Interface:

  • Choosing relationship type (Friendship, Mentor, Romantic)
  • Selecting the Nomi's gender (Male, Female, Non-binary)
  • Customizing personality and interests

Accessing and Modifying Shared Notes

The shared notes section is where you'll input the critical data that shapes your Nomi's behavior and story.

To access it, navigate to the upper right-hand corner of the chat interface and select 'Shared Notes'. This area is divided into several key sections:

  • Backstory: This gives your Nomi important context.
  • Current Roleplay: Leave this part blank .
  • Appearance: You will come back to this later.
  • Preferences: This is preferences for your Nomi.
  • Desires: This is the desires for your Nomi.
  • Boundaries: This is your Nomis boundaries. Change it to your needs and requirements.

Carefully consider what you wish to include in these areas to guide the AI's responses and actions effectively. Be sure to hit save after every edit.

Here’s a breakdown of each area and how to best utilize them:

Backstory is important for setting the stage for the scene. The more details the better!

Understanding and utilizing the shared notes correctly can dramatically improve your roleplay experience with Nomi AI. Be sure to use proper nouns and names. Ensure you change the boundaries to what is suitable for you!

Formatting Character Names

A key aspect of setting up Nomi AI Roleplay Beta involves how you format character names within the shared notes.

It’s crucial to specify how the AI should refer to your character and the Nomi itself.

Metal Fox created this great format:

  • VV is [Nomi's name] (NomiVerse), to use instead of VV. VV is [Nicole Johnson] nicknamed [Nikki], to use instead of QV.

QV will be your characters name. This ensures that Nomi AI correctly distinguishes between characters in your roleplay narratives. VV is the Nomis name, QV is your name.

Appearance Customization

The appearance section allows you to define the physical attributes of your Nomi and your character (QV), influencing how they are visualized and described in the roleplay.

Meta Fox created a sample that can be a great baseline.

When you input this data it will help with consistency for the look of the Nomi and the experience you will get. Take the time to customize your roleplay to be exactly as you like!

Understanding these components is important for making changes. Take your time. It's best not to rush this. Be sure to constantly use the save notes as you do. If something bad happens, you can load the previous settings!

Details to Consider:

  • Height and weight
  • Hair color and style
  • Eye color
  • Clothing preferences

Initiating the Roleplay

With everything set up, it’s time to begin your roleplay. Start by using the opening Prompt which provides initial setting and context for you and your nomi to start.

It's like a choose your own adventure! This helps set the setting to be where you want it to be. If you get lost at any point in the process. You can always save. And even load.

Saving and Loading Your Roleplay

Nomi AI Roleplay Beta includes a save and load method to prevent loss of progress. To save your current state, type in the command:(Please backup our current shared notes, working memory, and preferences)

This saves the states so you don't lose what is going on.

This is important! There are a lot of details in the Beta and you want to ensure that you have your place.

After you type it in, the Nomi AI will say (Ready! Please check your shared notes, working memory, and preferences backup to make sure you didn't forget anything!) to confirm you saved! Then if something went bad. Type in the following: (Read through our chat logs without summarizing. Take your time. Don't tell me anything until your done, I will wait patiently for you to read) This restores the settings to where you last saved!
