How to Use Chai AI: Six Moves Any Character Chat Needs
How to use Chai AI or any character chat: six moves — and GoLove.ai is our pick for in-chat photos and memory. See the step table with Star costs.
How to Use Chai AI-Style Character Chat: The Six-Move Map
If you searched how to use Chai AI, what you're actually learning is character chat. Character chat runs on six moves: pick someone, set her tone, steer the scene, ask for more, keep the thread alive, and watch what it costs. Below is the whole map in one table, with where each move lives on GoLove.ai, the app I'd point you to.
Every character-chat app uses the same six moves. Only the button names change.
| Move | What you do (any character chat) | Where it lives on GoLove.ai | Cost there (Oct 2026) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Pick a character | Find someone whose vibe fits the story you want | Explore / Series (ep. 1–2 free) | Browse free |
| 2. Set the tone | Decide how explicit and how wordy she gets | Chat Settings: Lust Level 1–5, Response Length 1–5 | Included |
| 3. Steer the scene | Nudge the story when it drifts | Reply suggestions, rate 1–5 + regenerate | Included |
| 4. Ask for media | Get photos or clips that fit the moment | Send Photo / photo→video | 1 Star / 10 Stars |
| 5. Keep continuity | Stay in one relationship that builds | Memory, Gallery, Relationship Progression | ULTRA lists 8,000-message memory |
| 6. Manage spend | Know what each habit costs | 2 free Stars/day, PRO about $19.99/mo incl. 100 Stars | Prices vary by region/promo |
We could not confirm Chai AI's own controls or plans. So this map teaches the moves rather than a click path that the next update would break. On GoLove.ai, every row has a named button.
Row one is free, so you can start right now. Open Explore and pick the face that makes you want to type first.
Moves 1–2: Choosing a Character and Dialing In Her Tone
The walkthrough starts here. Choose her carefully and set two dials before you write your first message.
Browsing Explore before you commit
Explore sorts the roster into lanes, and you can open a chat straight from any card:
- Realistic: photo-real companions, the default for most people
- Anime: 300+ characters in their own category
- Trans: a dedicated lane, not something buried in a filter
5 episodes
7 episodes

9 episodes
The roster is female and trans characters only. Male characters are marked "Soon" and aren't available yet.
Meeting her through Series first
I think Series is the smartest way in. It's GoLove's set of Netflix-style vertical 18+ short dramas. As of November 2026 there are 9 series and 54 episodes, and episodes 1–2 of every show are free. Say you watch "My Professor Locked the Door" and like the lead. Tap Start Chatting under the player and you're messaging that same cast member. It works like a two-minute audition before you commit to a chat.
Two sliders, two different jobs
People mix these two up, so here's the difference. Lust Level runs from 1 (sweet) to 5 (unfiltered) and controls how explicit she gets. Response Length runs from 1 (snappy) to 5 (immersive) and controls how much she writes. Neither slider affects the other. Move one at a time, or you won't know which change made the difference.
Move 3: Writing Messages That Actually Steer the Story
Most flat chats start with "hi." That gives her nothing to work with, so you get something generic back.
Open with a premise, not a greeting
A good opener answers four questions in two or three lines:
- Place: a hotel bar, her kitchen after a shift, a delayed flight
- Relationship: strangers, exes, a coworker you shouldn't text
- What just happened: the spark that starts the scene
- What you want from her: teasing, taking charge, letting you lead
This works in any character chat, because you're writing the first page of the story yourself.
When she drifts off-script
You'll notice the exact moment immersion breaks. She forgets the setup, or she starts sounding like a polite assistant, and the scene turns kinda janky. On GoLove you can rate that reply 1–5 and regenerate it. You can also tap the magic wand for 3 suggested replies, or use a quick-reply chip to push the scene forward.
Should I restart the chat when a scene goes flat? Regenerate the reply first. Restart only if the premise itself was wrong.
Bringing in a second character
Scenarios turns this into a group chat with 2–10 characters. If you don't have a premise, the Random button writes one. Continue lets the characters carry the scene between themselves while you watch.
Move 4: Asking for Photos and Video Without Leaving the Thread
Here's how it plays out. You're mid-conversation and the scene has momentum. You tap the media button, choose Send Photo, and describe what you want in your own words. Roughly 20–45 seconds later, a photo of that same character lands in the thread, with her face and body matching her avatar and the photos she sent earlier. It costs 1 Star, and explicit requests work with adult characters. To me this is the feature that matters most in the whole app.
Send Photo: what to put in the description
Treat the description as a short shot list. Cover three things:
Characters you can open right now
Tap any of them and the chat starts there
- Where she is: should match the scene you're already in
- What she's wearing: or not wearing
- The pose or mood: shy, smug, inviting
Keeping the photo inside the thread is what makes this work. You never leave the conversation for a separate generator tab, so the scene doesn't break.
From photo to a short clip
Under the photo, one tap on Generate Video turns that scene into a roughly 5-second video of the same character. It takes about a minute and costs 10 Stars.
Video Notes
Tap the media button, choose Send Video Note, and tell her what to say or do. In under 90 seconds you get a round talking video with sound, for 10 Stars.
When Chat Isn't Enough: GoLove's Generator and Feed Remix
The thread handles most of what you'll want. Use the generator when you want to control every detail of the image yourself.
35 poses · 21 outfits · 34 backgrounds, in batches of 2, 4 or 8 images at 1 Star per image.
Image mode
You build an image by stacking three types of preset card on any GoLove character, or on one you made:
- Action: one of the 35 realistic poses, or a custom one
- Outfit: 21 presets plus custom clothes
- Scene: 34 backgrounds plus custom
Video presets and Image to Video
Video uses the same preset cards, labeled in the app with names like "Twerk" or "Hard Doggy Style." There are 76 realistic video modes. Each run makes 1, 2 or 4 videos at 480p to 1080p, and a 720p video costs 10 Stars.
Remix from the Feed
The magic wand on any Feed clip opens the generator with that clip's character, action, outfit and scene already filled in. It's a quietly great shortcut, because you start from something you already liked instead of an empty form.
On GoLove.ai, the order that works:
- Pick a character — or build one to your taste
- Say something real: she remembers your chat history
- Open Chat Settings: pick her voice, lust level and reply length
- Ask her for a photo in the chat
- Want a set pose or outfit? The image generator has 35 realistic poses and 21 outfits
So if the photo from move four stuck the landing, the presets let you choose every detail of the next one, at 1 Star a frame.
Move 5: Keeping One Relationship Going Instead of Ten Restarts
This is the move most people skip. They restart every time they get bored, then wonder why she never seems to know them.
Memory and relationship progression
GoLove lists Memory (it remembers your history) and Relationship Progression as core features, but neither does much unless you stay in one thread long enough to build some history. Keep one long thread per character and come back to it, rather than starting over every evening. If a scene fell apart, regenerate it in the same thread instead of opening a new chat. A relationship that restarts ten times never gets past the first date.
The Gallery as a timeline
Every photo she sends goes into a per-character Gallery, sorted by date. Over time it becomes a record of the relationship. Scroll back and you can find where a storyline started.
Where the tiers differ
ULTRA lists an 8,000-message smart memory. We could not confirm how much a PRO or free account remembers, so treat that 8,000 figure as ULTRA-only.
Move 6: What Each Habit Costs on GoLove.ai, in Stars and Dollars
All prices below are approximate. They were checked in October 2026 and vary by region and promotion.
What's free
- 2 reward Stars every day
- A limited daily Feed, after which a paywall appears
- Episodes 1–2 of every Series
We could not confirm anything else about the free tier.
PRO vs ULTRA
- PRO: about $19.99/month, or about $119.88/year (roughly $9.99/month). Includes all NSFW content, character creation, voice messages and calls, unlimited Feed, and 100 Stars a month.
- ULTRA: about $59.99/month, or about $359.88/year. Adds more monthly Stars than PRO, a discount on Star refills, more powerful AI models, and the 8,000-message memory.
- Star packs: from about $9.99 for 30 Stars up to about $299.99 for 3,000.
- New users: a limited-time −70% first-subscription offer appears at sign-in.
The honest split
Pros:
- Each action has a clear price: 1 Star per photo, 10 Stars per chat video.
- PRO's 100 monthly Stars cover a lot of in-thread photos before you'd need a pack.
Cons:
- Video uses Stars ten times faster than photos, so it gets expensive quickly if you rely on it.
- Voice messages and calls are PRO-only, so a free account doesn't get them.
Six Moves, Re-Read: Where the Step Table Points You
Back to the table. For this search, four rows matter most. Lust Level and Response Length are two separate 1–5 dials. A photo arrives in about 20–45 seconds for 1 Star without leaving the thread, and one more tap turns it into video. Memory and a dated Gallery keep the relationship going. PRO starts at about $19.99/month with 100 Stars included.
and watch their story unfold.View Character
The alternatives deserve a fair mention. OurDream suits someone who wants chat, images and video bundled under one subscription, from about $19.99/month, or about $9.99/month on an annual plan. It's web-only, with no native mobile app (checked 2026-09).
Who GoLove.ai Is NOT For
Skip it if you want unlimited everything for free, because the free tier is deliberately small. Skip it if you want male characters, since they aren't available yet. And skip it if what you really want is a relationship with a real person.
My pick for learning character chat and taking it all the way to photos, an ongoing relationship and the occasional clip is GoLove.ai, because every one of the six moves has a named control.

Frequently Asked Questions
01How much does a character-chat app like GoLove.ai cost per month once you use photos and video?
On GoLove.ai, PRO runs about $19.99/month, or about $119.88/year (roughly $9.99/month), and includes 100 Stars every month. In-thread photos cost 1 Star each and chat videos cost 10 Stars, so 100 Stars covers up to 100 photos or 10 clips. If you burn through them, Star packs start around $9.99 for 30, and ULTRA sits at about $59.99/month with more monthly Stars and a refill discount. All of this was checked in October 2026 and varies by region and promo, so a photo-heavy character chat habit is cheap and a video-heavy one adds up fast.
02What can you do on GoLove.ai before paying, and where does the paywall start?
For free on GoLove.ai, you can browse Explore, collect 2 reward Stars a day, scroll a limited daily Feed, and watch episodes 1–2 of every Series. The paywall starts when the daily Feed runs out and from episode 3 of a Series. Voice messages and calls, all NSFW content, character creation and the unlimited Feed are PRO features. We could not confirm anything else about the free tier, so treat it as a small taste of character chat rather than the full thing.
03How does asking an AI character for a photo work inside the chat?
In any GoLove chat, tap the media button, choose Send Photo, and describe the shot in your own words. Cover where she is, what she's wearing (or isn't), and the mood, whether shy, smug or inviting. In roughly 20–45 seconds a photo of that same character lands in the thread for 1 Star, with her face and body matching her avatar and earlier photos. That's the nice part of doing it in character chat: you never leave the scene, and you can tap Generate Video under the photo if you want a short clip (10 Stars).
04Who can see the characters and chats I create on an AI companion app?
It depends on the app, so check its privacy settings and policy before you get attached. On GoLove, characters you build with Design with AI are Private by default, and you choose whether to make one public. Public characters can earn their creator Stars. Group Scenarios can be set to private, unlisted or public. We could not confirm the details of how chat histories are stored, so read the app's privacy policy for that part of your character chat.
05Is GoLove.ai a legit app, and how are payments handled?
GoLove.ai is a working character chat app with clearly priced plans. PRO is about $19.99/month or $119.88/year, ULTRA is about $59.99/month or $359.88/year, and Star packs run from about $9.99 to $299.99. Prices were checked in October 2026 and vary by region and promo. Each action has a stated Star cost, such as 1 Star per photo, so you can see what you're spending. We could not confirm which payment methods or billing descriptor it uses, so check the checkout screen before you subscribe, especially if you're claiming the limited-time −70% first-subscription offer.
06What other apps combine character chat with image and video generation?
OurDream is the clearest alternative. It bundles chat, image generation and video generation under one subscription, from about $19.99/month, or about $9.99/month on an annual plan. Images, voice and video draw on a separate DreamCoins balance, and it's web-only with no native mobile app (checked 2026-09). We could not confirm Chai AI's own media features, so check their site. If you want in-thread photos, memory and an ongoing relationship with every move behind a named button, GoLove.ai is still my pick for character chat.
