Have you struggled to bring depth and control to your virtual characters or found that existing AI solutions lack the flexibility you need? Creating lifelike, interactive characters is challenging, especially when you want them to respond intelligently and responsibly in diverse situations. Balancing safety, customization, and character personality can be an ongoing challenge for virtual world creators, developers, and designers.
With Convai's new Core AI Settings, we’re giving creators the power to design characters that are not only smart but also adaptable and safe. These settings let you control key aspects like selecting custom language models to power characters, enabling moderation filters, and controlling response creativity. It provides an unprecedented level of customization to suit your unique project needs.
Until now, creators have struggled to balance customization with safety and realism in character interactions. Without the right tools, maintaining control over language, response tone, and content moderation can be challenging, leading to characters that don’t quite hit the mark or engage users fully.
Core AI Settings addresses these challenges by offering a streamlined, intuitive way to manage every aspect of your character's interactions, ensuring they deliver memorable experiences while staying aligned with your goals. Let’s see how.
Meet Convai's Core AI Settings: Customize Your Virtual Characters Like Never Before
Each Core AI Setting offers options that help creators fine-tune every interaction, set boundaries for safe conversations, and customize character responses to create immersive experiences that feel true to life.
Here’s a closer look at what each setting does, why it’s groundbreaking, and how to use it to level up your virtual characters.
Keep Interactions Safe with the Moderation Filter
The Moderation Filter helps maintain a respectful, safe conversation environment by preventing inappropriate content from appearing in the chat, including hate speech, profanity, and other harmful language. This feature is essential for public-facing applications, educational platforms, or any environment where user safety is a priority.
Unlike traditional moderation tools, Convai’s Moderation Filter is tightly integrated with character functionalities like Narrative Design and Multilingual support.
Turning on this filter ensures that your character complies with moderation standards while unlocking additional capabilities that rely on safe, structured language. It allows for worry-free public interactions without constant oversight.
How It Works: Simply toggle the Moderation Filter on or off in the Core AI Settings panel. Disabling it will make certain features—like Narrative Design and Multilingual capabilities—unavailable, as these rely on moderated, controlled language for smooth performance.

Choose the Right Model for Every Interaction
Within Core AI Settings, you can choose from a diverse range of large language models (LLMs) to create a character that feels just right for your use case. Each model has distinct characteristics, allowing you to pick one that best matches your character’s desired tone and responsiveness.
Here’s the comparison table with speed, style, cost, censorship status, and best use case for each foundation model in Convai’s Core AI Settings so you can make informed decisions when selecting foundation models:
Each model brings a unique "voice" to interactions, so you can select one that best fits the character’s purpose and audience. This flexibility is especially valuable for applications ranging from customer support to interactive storytelling.
Check out more details in the documentation.
How It Works:
In the Core AI Settings panel, simply use the dropdown menu to select from models like GPT-4o, Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Gemini-1.5-pro, and more. If the Moderation Filter is turned off, certain models may become unavailable, which helps maintain content safety across interactions.
Control Your Character’s Creativity with the Temperature Setting
The Temperature setting allows you to adjust the level of randomness and creativity in your character’s responses:
- Higher temperatures yield more varied and creative replies, perfect for storytelling or exploratory conversations.
- Lower temperatures produce more focused and consistent responses, which is ideal for structured applications like customer service or educational content.
Temperature adjustment is excellent for creators who want to fine-tune character responses without switching models. It gives them nuanced control over interaction style, allowing them to adjust character behavior to fit different contexts, from interactive fiction to customer service applications.
How It Works:
Adjust the Temperature slider to the desired level in the Core AI Settings panel. Higher settings (closer to 1.0) introduce more diversity in responses, while lower settings (near 0) produce reliable, predictable replies. Experiment with this setting to find the best balance for your use case.
By bringing these customizable settings to Convai’s platform, we give creators the tools to craft unique, compelling, and safe virtual characters.
Whether designing for a game, an educational platform, or a customer support role, Core AI Settings allows you to easily shape every aspect of your character’s personality and interaction style.
