Realistic AI conversation starts with a well-defined character, not a vague assistant. Generic prompts like 'act friendly' lead to shallow replies. On
AI Peeps
, each character is built around a detailed Scenario - a narrative blueprint including backstory, traits, and current situation. Want someone guarded but curious? Code it in. Prefer a sarcastic barista with trust issues and a soft spot for rescue cats? Write it into the scenario. These aren’t static traits; they influence word choice, reaction speed, and emotional tone. A Peep raised in a strict household might hesitate before sharing a secret, while a street-smart character might deflect with humor. The more specific the foundation, the more convincing the chat becomes.
