Ways in

Find a useful direction

People who already know you

An old friend or a familiar bartender skips the introductions and asks what changed since last time.

A practical selection process

Choose before you open

    The best friend cards state how you know each other in the opening. That history is what the character will refer back to.

  2. Avoid a premise you would find tiring daily

    A loud housemate is fun for a scene and wearing for a month. Pick the energy level you actually want on a Tuesday.

Frequently asked questions

A clear starting point

Is an AI friend different from an AI companion on this site?

Companion cards include creative and utility premises. Friend cards are the subset written as a person who keeps you company without a task.

Will a friend card turn romantic?

The premise does not push that way. Charmi is an 18+ product and you steer the conversation; the card sets the starting tone, not the ending.

Can a friend card remember what I told it last week?

Yes, within the memory system: facts you share can be accepted into that character's memory and come back when relevant.
