FAQ
Quick answers before you sign up.
If we didn't cover it here, your character probably will — better than we can.
How is Reverie different from the AI character chat I already use?+
Three things bring people over: (1) memory that genuinely holds across sessions and across personas, (2) the ability to fork any conversation without losing it, and (3) proactive characters who message you first instead of waiting. You also pick between Gemini 3, DeepSeek V4 / R1, GLM 5, and MiMo V2 per conversation — we don't lock you into one in-house model.
Is there a real free tier?+
Yes. Free accounts get a generous message budget on our free model (Llama 3.1 8B) plus daily login credits — no credit card, no trial expiration. Paid plans add a large monthly credit allotment that unlocks frontier models like Gemini 3, DeepSeek V4, and GLM 5, plus faster response times.
What can I actually do besides chat?+
Four modes from one account: chat (with memory, voice mode, forking), Story Mode (chaptered visual-novel adventures with choices), Group Chat (multiple characters in one scene), and Novel Mode (collaborative long-form fiction writing). All four share the same characters and the same memory.
Does Reverie allow NSFW or adult content?+
Yes, with age verification. NSFW chat is fully uncensored once you're signed in. The safety lines are clear: no minors, no real-person impersonation without consent. Outside of those, the filter walls you've hit on other platforms aren't here.
Which AI models power the conversations?+
Multiple. Google Gemini 3 for long-context scenes and vision, DeepSeek V4 / R1 for cost-effective high quality and reasoning, Z.AI GLM 5 for nuanced dialogue, Xiaomi MiMo V2 for fast everyday chat, Meta Llama 3.1 for the free tier. By default the system picks the best one for the conversation; paid plans unlock manual model selection per chat.
Can I import characters from other apps?+
Yes. We import SillyTavern v2 character cards (PNG or JSON), and via our Claude Skill importer you can also bring in characters built inside Claude clients or any SKILL.md-compatible workflow. Imported characters convert to Reverie's format so they immediately gain long-term memory, plugin support, group-chat compatibility, and the other features the source card format doesn't carry.
How private are my conversations?+
Encrypted in transit, encrypted at rest, never sold to third parties, never used to train base models. You can permanently delete any conversation or character at any time — deletion is real, not soft-delete.
Do I have to sign up to try it?+
No. You can try most public characters without an account. Signing up unlocks NSFW (after age verification), personal memory, character creation, and saved conversation history.
