Introducing Video Emotes

Characters just got a whole lot more expressive. We're thrilled to introduce Video Emotes - AI-generated character animations that bring every conversation to life with dynamic, context-aware expressions.

What Are Video Emotes?

Video emotes are short, looping animations of your characters performing specific actions or expressions. Instead of static images, your characters can now blow kisses, look around in wonder, lean into the camera, or glance away shyly - all in fluid, lifelike motion.

The magic? Our AI doesn't just animate - it understands context. When your character is being flirty, playful, curious, or shy, the system automatically selects the perfect emote to match the moment.

Creating Your Emote Library

Building your character's emote library is simple. Head to any character's edit page where you'll find the 🎬 Emote Packs section.

You have two options:

Generate Emote Packs - Create curated sets of 5 emotionally diverse expressions in one go. Perfect for quickly building a versatile library that covers happy, sad, playful, thoughtful, and more.

Generate Single Emote - Create custom emotes with specific actions or expressions. Want your character to do something unique? Just describe it and our AI will bring it to life.

Each emote is generated from your character's primary avatar, ensuring perfect visual consistency. The AI maintains your character's appearance, style, and personality across every animation.

Smart Contextual Selection

Here's where it gets really interesting. During conversations in scenarios or 1:1 chats, our AI analyzes what your character is saying and how they're feeling, then automatically selects the most appropriate emote from their library.

The system is smart about variety too - it tracks recent usage to avoid repetition and keeps conversations feeling fresh and natural.

Full Control Over Your Experience

We know different users have different preferences, so video emotes come with flexible controls:

Character-Level Management - Manage your entire emote library from the character edit page. Add new emotes, review existing ones, and build the perfect expression set for each character.

User-Level Toggle - You can enable or disable video emotes at any time in both scenarios and 1:1 chat. The setting is saved to your preferences, so your choice persists across sessions.

Love the added expressiveness? Keep them on. Prefer a more minimal experience? Toggle them off. It's entirely up to you.

• Visual Consistency - Emotes are filtered to match your character's current primary avatar, so appearance stays consistent
• Performance Optimized - Smart caching ensures emotes load instantly
