Roles

A role is a personality the assistant answers in: a legal advisor, a tutor, a copywriter or Sherlock Holmes. Each role has a name, a portrait, instructions, a greeting and its own model. Roles come with a subscription: anyone can browse them, and starting a chat with a role or creating your own takes a subscription.

Where to find them

• “Roles” in the sidebar, or the Roles page.
• The “Role” item in the composer’s “+” menu starts a new chat with a role without leaving the page.
• Both can be turned on or off in Settings → Personalization.
• Roles are rolling out gradually. If you don’t see them in the sidebar yet, open the Roles page and they’ll show up right away.

Ready-made roles

Helpers — Legal Advisor, Translator, Language Tutor, Copywriter, Mock Interviewer, Kind Listener and Tutor — and characters, from Sherlock Holmes to Grandma Rose. Click “Start chat” and the role opens the conversation with its greeting.

Your own role

1. On the Roles page, click “Create role”, or “Make my own based on this” on a ready-made role.
2. Fill in the name and “Personality and instructions”: who they are, how they talk, what they do and what they don’t. The greeting and short description are optional.
3. Pick the model the role answers on.
4. Portrait: “Upload photo” or “Generate” — the AI draws one from the role’s name and description, up to 20 portraits a day. Without a portrait, the role shows a letter monogram.

You can create up to 100 roles of your own.

How a role chat works

• A role stays with its chat and keeps its personality for the whole conversation. For a different role, start a new chat.
• Role replies use your limits the same way a regular chat on the same model does: models that use Charge spend Charge.
• If you delete a role, its chats stay and continue as regular chats.
• If your subscription ends, your roles and their chats are kept, and you can continue talking to a role once you renew.
• A role plays a character — double-check important facts, especially legal and medical ones.
