Getting started
What is SpicyChat?
We provide AI character conversations for adults, together with tools for creating original characters and developing fictional scenes. The characters are generated, not people employed to carry on a private chat.
About SpicyChatWhat do I do after opening a character?
Read the greeting, decide your role, and send a reply that gives the character something specific to answer. A place, a current event, and one question are enough to begin.
Character chatsIs the character creator secretly writing the replies?
No. Our language models generate character responses. A statement made in character is not proof that a creator, employee, or other person is watching and performing the conversation.
About SpicyChatWhy do two characters with the same name act differently?
They can have different creators, definitions, greetings, and model settings. Check the creator handle and premise instead of assuming that a name identifies one standard version.
Character searchCan I keep a conversation SFW?
Yes. Choose a suitable premise and set your display preferences. An adult-only audience does not require every story to contain adult material, and content rules still apply.
NSFW settingsHow do I keep favorite characters in this directory?
Open a card's information control, choose Save character, and use the Saved filter that appears. This list is stored in your browser, so clearing site storage or changing devices can change it.
Character searchAccounts and privacy
Is SpicyChat safe to use?
Use supported sign-in, keep codes and sensitive documents out of character chats, and review what you publish. Creators cannot read private chats through the creator role, but normal account and service-data processing still applies.
PrivacyHow do I get help with a failed age-verification check?
Use the instructions in the supported provider flow and record the exact error if it fails. Contact support with the device, browser, and time, without attaching an unsolicited identity document or trying to bypass the requirement.
Age verificationWhich login method should I use on a new device?
Use the method associated with your existing account. Discord-created accounts need Discord sign-in; entering the same email through a different route can create a separate account.
Sign-in helpWhere should I look for a missing sign-in email?
Check the address, spam and junk folders, filtered inbox categories, and blocked senders. Our sign-in messages come from no-reply@kinde.com and can display Nextday AI Roleplay as the sender name. Never send the code to another person.
Sign-in helpCan I use a password reset link to recover SpicyChat?
Our sign-in is passwordless, so there is no ordinary SpicyChat password to reset. Use the email-code or original provider route, and recover a provider account through that provider if necessary.
Sign-in helpDoes cancelling my subscription remove my account?
No. Renewal cancellation and permanent account removal are different processes. A cancelled normal subscription can continue through its paid period before the account returns to Free.
Cancellation and billingWhat happens if I register again after deleting an account?
A new registration with the same email is a new account, not a recovery of the deleted one. Do not remove an account merely to troubleshoot a missing code or an unexpected sign-in session.
Account and deletionIs publishing a Lorebook the same as publishing my chats?
No. Public world-information entries and a conversation history are separate. Review what the public resource itself contains and leave personal details out of its entries.
LorebooksShould I email my identity document if an age check fails?
No. Use the supported provider flow for the check. An ordinary support request should describe the error and device, not attach an unsolicited identity document or account code.
Age verificationCan I use an email code after signing up through Google, Apple, or X?
Yes, when you use the same linked email address. Discord-created accounts are the exception and need the Discord button. Using their email in the code form can create a separate account.
Sign-in helpCan SpicyChat's operator access my chat content?
Our Terms reserve the right to access and review submitted content. Private conversations are not visible through the character-creator role, but that is not a promise that the operator cannot access them.
PrivacyFree access and billing
Is SpicyChat completely free?
We offer a Free tier and separate paid plans. Core access does not include every model, memory tool, conversation-image feature, or audio feature. Compare the specific tool you need with its current tier requirement.
Free accessDoes Free mean that every model and media feature is included?
No. Free provides core access, while models and tools have their own tier requirements. Avatar generation, pictures inside chats, spoken replies, and memory tools should be checked separately.
Free accessAre 4,096 context tokens a daily message allowance?
No. Context tokens measure the text available for one generation, shared with character instructions and recent dialogue. They are not credits that count how many messages you may send each day.
Memory and contextIs an annual price charged every month?
No. The annual figure is a yearly total. Read the selected billing period, currency, taxes, and renewal conditions before confirming a payment.
Pricing and plansCan I keep a pre-September 2026 subscription price after changing plans?
Changing a tier or switching billing cycles moves the subscription to current pricing. Eligible old recurring prices depend on keeping that subscription active and unchanged.
Pricing and plansDoes a one-time payment renew automatically?
Not when it is sold as a non-renewing one-time payment. Check the actual checkout and receipt; do not assume that every available payment method establishes a recurring subscription.
Cancellation and billingShould I pay again if my account still shows Free?
First confirm the account, provider, receipt, and transaction status. Contact support with the transaction reference if access has not updated, rather than creating a second charge to test it.
Contact supportDoes a refund request cancel the next renewal?
No. A refund investigation and renewal cancellation are separate actions. Use Manage Subscription or the original billing provider if you want to stop a recurring renewal.
Refund policyWhy am I in a SpicyChat waiting queue?
Our Free waiting line can appear when demand is high. Paid subscriptions remove that queue, and I'm All In adds priority generation. If a paid account still queues, confirm the account and update an old app or cached website build before contacting us.
Free accessCan Free accounts use permitted NSFW roleplay?
Yes. Free accounts can choose permitted adult fictional premises as well as SFW stories. Our adult eligibility, display settings, age checks, and content rules still apply; paid image and audio tools have separate requirements.
Free accessHow many free messages can I send per day?
The 4,096-token context limit is not a daily message allowance, and 180 tokens is a reply ceiling. Read any feature-specific usage notice in your account. A Free waiting queue reflects demand rather than a fixed message bundle refilling at midnight.
Free accessProblems and safety
Is SpicyChat down right now?
Look for a current service announcement and its latest update. A problem on one device may be a local connection, an account issue, or a feature-specific limit rather than an outage affecting everyone.
Loading and errorsWhy is one failed request not enough to confirm a service outage?
A request can fail because of a browser, account, feature limit, or local connection. Check current announcements and identify the affected feature before assuming that the entire service is unavailable.
Loading and errorsWhat should I include in a technical support message?
Send the affected feature, exact error, time and time zone, device, browser or app version, and a redacted screenshot if useful. Leave out codes, keys, session cookies, and full payment details.
Contact supportDo paid plans remove age or content requirements?
No. Subscription benefits and eligibility rules are separate. Complete required checks and follow the content rules regardless of the account tier or a character's visibility setting.
Community guidelinesCan I appeal a refused depicted-person removal request?
Yes. Email us with the subject Removal Appeal and the earlier decision reference. A different reviewer considers the appeal. Our five-business-day decision period begins after submission; it is not a separate deadline for filing an appeal.
Complaints and removalImages and voice
Can SpicyChat AI generate images?
Yes. Avatar generation and Conversation Images are different tools. Avatar generation is available on Free; pictures generated inside a chat begin at True Supporter, with separate restrictions for private characters and fair use.
Conversation imagesCan a Free account generate a character avatar?
Yes. Avatar generation is available on Free. Images generated inside an ongoing conversation are a separate feature with different plan requirements.
Conversation imagesWhich subscription begins in-chat Conversation Images?
We include Conversation Images from True Supporter. Using that feature with private characters requires I'm All In. Image fair-use controls still apply separately from ordinary text chat.
Pricing and plansIs speech-to-text the same as spoken character replies?
No. Speech-to-text turns microphone input into text. Text-to-speech reads a character response aloud. Neither description alone establishes a live telephone or video call feature.
Voice and audioWhy does audio fail when the written reply appears?
Check volume, the browser tab's mute setting, the selected output device, and feature access. Playback can fail separately from the text-generation service.
Voice and audioApp and browser
Which SpicyChat route should I use on an Android phone?
You can use the website or the official Android APK distribution. Check the source and the application name rather than assuming that a similarly named store listing is the same product.
Android APKWhat is PixelChat in Google Play?
PixelChat is the separately named companion linked by SpicyChat. It is not a native Play Store listing named SpicyChat, and identical feature availability should not be assumed.
App and web accessHow can I keep SpicyChat on my iPhone home screen?
Open the website in Safari, use Share, and choose Add to Home Screen. The shortcut is web access, not an Android installation or a new App Store subscription.
iPhone and iPadCan a modified APK unlock my paid account?
A package claiming to unlock premium does not create a valid subscription entitlement. Use supported distribution and account billing routes rather than handing credentials to a modified client.
Android APKDo I need to install anything on a desktop computer?
You can use the browser version directly. A game-streaming intermediary or Android emulator is not required for ordinary desktop web access.
Browser accessWriting and creation
Which part of a character should describe the first scene?
Use the greeting and scenario for the opening situation. Keep stable behavior in the personality, and avoid placing every temporary plot event into the character's permanent identity.
Create a characterWhat is the difference between my persona and the chatbot?
A persona describes the identity you bring to the conversation. The chatbot's definition describes the fictional character you are meeting. Keeping them separate helps prevent confused names and roles.
User personasDoes every PNG contain a character definition?
No. A normal picture can have no character metadata. A compatible character-card PNG carries embedded data; a JSON card contains structured text and may need a separate avatar.
Import character cardsHow many entries can a Lorebook hold?
A Lorebook can hold up to 5,000 entries, with 2,000 characters per entry. That storage capacity is not the amount of lore active in a single reply's context.
LorebooksShould I track world facts or changing scores in a Rulebook?
Use a Lorebook for reusable background information. Use a Rulebook for changing state, such as supplies, trust, time, or a story phase, and define how that state affects the scene.
RulebooksIs a large context window a guarantee of perfect recall?
No. Context is shared among several kinds of information, and generated replies can still miss or misinterpret a detail. Keep important facts concise and resolve conflicting instructions.
Memory and contextDoes changing a persona replace names in earlier messages?
No. Older dialogue and stored details may still refer to the earlier persona. Review them or begin a separate thread when the identity change creates a different premise.
User personasHow do I change my SpicyChat AI model?
Open the chat's three-dot menu, choose Generation Settings, then find Inference Model and select Change Model. The menu shows the models enabled for your account and subscription.
AI modelsWhich AI models are available on Free?
Our Free model range includes Default, Zeta G4 26B, Lyra Spiced, Stheno, Squelching Fantasies 8B, and SpicedQ3 A3B. Check Change Model for the current selection; model capacity does not increase a Free account's context allowance.
AI modelsHow do I use Director Mode or the /cmd command?
Type /cmd followed by one instruction, such as asking for shorter dialogue without writing your character's actions. OOC: can introduce the same kind of out-of-character note. Neither syntax overrides our content rules or unlocks a paid tool.
