Candy AI and Nomi AI: context notes, group knowledge and chat copies
A detail known by one companion is not automatically shared by a whole cast. Nomi offers Backstory+, Mind Maps and group context for different kinds of information. Our Plus personas, memory and clones also have distinct jobs. Choose between changing a note, directing a group and preserving another continuation.

Separate lasting background from the event underway
Nomi Backstory+ includes Backstory, Current Roleplay, Preferences and Boundaries. Put a continuing relationship or shared-world detail in the relevant background and the immediate event in Current Roleplay. For an adult botanist, a lifelong interest and today's missing specimen are different kinds of information.
Mind Maps provide editable summaries, can update automatically and allow entries to be locked. Editing a summary does not erase the experiences behind it. Our memory-slot count likewise is not a measure of exhaustive recall or a published capacity directly comparable with Nomi context.
Give a group its own common information
Nomi groups allow a selected responder or Auto-play turns. Supply the common scene in the group's Backstory rather than assuming members inherit each other's full individual Backstory+. A locked greenhouse door important to everyone belongs in the shared setup, not only one participant's background.
A group Mind Map is separate from individual conversations. Our Clone Chat preserves a copied history in another continuation, not a cast assembly or next-speaker control. Decide whether the aim is common knowledge, turn direction or another storyline before editing.
Compare the purpose of a control, not just its name
A user persona describes your part in our fiction. Nomi's companion and shared-world background is not automatically equivalent to it. A note changes available context; a clone retains a separately developing conversation.
| Need | Candy AI | Nomi AI |
|---|---|---|
| Describe your role | Use an available Plus user persona | Review the relevant Backstory+ or group setup |
| Try another path | Copy existing history through eligible cloning | Changing Current Roleplay is a context edit, not a preserved copy |
| Direct a cast | Memory slots do not establish a matching speaker selector | Choose the responder or use Auto-play |
| Request a picture | Describe the selected companion's visible scene | A contextual selfie uses the companion and current exchange |
Check selfie context and call conditions separately
For a Nomi contextual selfie, establish clothing, activity and location in the conversation, then use the camera beside the chat field. That flow draws chiefly on the companion and current exchange rather than necessarily accepting the same standalone prompt as another image tool.
Paid Nomi calls use text-chat history and require microphone permission. In-house voices are included, while optional ElevenLabs voices remain subject to the external plan's limits. Our supported playback and calls have separate token conditions. Written access alone does not establish identical speech allowances.
Know whether a credit buys capacity or usage
Nomi's profile Credits area offers extra companion slots or group rooms beyond the paid allocation. Those credits buy capacity, not message packs. Check whether the intended purchase adds another companion or another room before deciding it solves a usage problem.
Our media tokens instead fund eligible actions at their displayed charges. Updating a background note has no bearing on that separate spending. Inspect membership, feature eligibility and the action price rather than assuming a context tool supplies unlimited images or calls.
Your questions
Does a Mind Map edit delete the experience it describes?
No. The entry is a summary rather than an experience-removal control. Revising its wording does not reset the companion or erase the underlying events. Keep a context correction separate from a request to delete a record.
Where should a fact needed by every Nomi participant go?
Use the group's Backstory for common scene information. Members do not automatically receive every other companion's complete individual Backstory+. A private note should not be treated as knowledge already supplied to the whole cast.
How do Nomi selfie instructions differ from our image request?
Set the location, activity and clothing in the Nomi conversation before using its selfie camera. Our dedicated image action takes the intended visible details in the picture request. The routes gather context differently, so do not assume identical accepted inputs.
