My AI companion forgets my name: where to put it

Check that your name is stored as user information rather than accidentally appearing as the character’s name. Then remove conflicting examples before changing anything else.

Start here

Check that your name is stored as user information rather than accidentally appearing as the character’s name. Then remove conflicting examples before changing anything else.

What to do

  1. Separate the two identities

    Make a small list: user name, user pronouns, character name, character pronouns. Check the greeting and dialogue examples against it.

  2. Use a persistent field if available

    Put the user identity in the provider’s user-persona or memory field when one is offered. A message far back in the conversation may not remain available.

  3. Try a short fresh exchange

    Test the corrected setup with a simple greeting. Preserve the old conversation before any reset; changing a field does not necessarily rewrite its history.

Adapt it to your character

A starting point you can copy

User: Morgan, they/them. Character: Alex, he/him. Alex addresses Morgan by name only when it sounds natural.

This is an instruction to try. It is not a guaranteed platform control.
