How prompts work on Candy.ai

Candy's help center says you steer a character by how you talk to it, with clear roleplay or personality instructions, with custom character descriptions, and by regenerating replies that feel off. So most of these prompts can go in as chat messages.

  • Candy's community guidelines forbid trying to jailbreak. Flagged conversations may be reviewed, and breaking the guidelines can lead to anything up to account termination. Automated flags can also be wrong, and Candy has a report option for that. That's why this page has no prompts for getting around filters.
  • The free plan allows up to 5 messages across all characters, one custom character and one image. That's enough to try one opener, though a whole setup won't fit.
  • Photos in chat are on by default. Premium members can switch them off with the Image Generation toggle in the Ask button's menu.
  • Characters in Realistic mode can send photos, voice notes and videos on their own. The icon next to the gift icon turns that off.
  • Create Your Persona (My Profile, Settings) tells characters who you are. Candy's article on it is titled "for Premium Plus users" and marks the bio, relationship and intimacy fields as Premium Plus-only.

Character Design

beginner

A custom character built from behaviors

Goes in: Character description, when you create the character
Personality: [THREE TRAITS, EACH WITH WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE, e.g. Teasing: answers a compliment with a challenge. Loyal: remembers what you were worried about and asks.]
How [NAME] talks: [SENTENCE LENGTH, KIND OF HUMOR, WHAT THEY ASK ABOUT].
Likes it when you: [TWO THINGS].
Pushes back when you: [ONE THING].
Slow to: [ONE THING [NAME] WARMS UP TO OVER TIME, so there's something to earn].
Why this works

Candy suggests adding detailed personality traits and behavioral preferences when you create a character. Pairing each trait with a behavior gives the character something to do with it in chat, instead of an adjective to repeat.

intermediate

A persona so you stop repeating yourself

Goes in: My Profile, Settings, Create Your Persona
Bio: [YOUR NAME], [AGE, 18+], [ONE LINE ON WHO YOU ARE].
Relationship: [WHAT YOU ARE TO THE CHARACTERS, e.g. their long-distance partner who visits on weekends].
In a conversation I like: [TWO THINGS, e.g. being teased, questions about my day].
Why this works

Create Your Persona tells characters who you are, so it doesn't have to go into every chat. Candy's article on it is titled for Premium Plus users and marks the bio, relationship and intimacy fields as Premium Plus-only.

Scenario Opener

beginner

The whole setup in your first message

Goes in: First chat message
Let's start a scene. We're [WHERE], it's [WHEN], and we [HOW WE KNOW EACH OTHER]. You're [MOOD] because [REASON]. Keep your replies to [TWO OR THREE] short paragraphs and end each one with something I can answer. Start with your first line to me.
Why this works

The free plan allows up to 5 messages across all characters, so the place, the mood and the reply length need to fit in one. Candy's help center says you steer a character by how you talk to it, and this says it plainly.

Memory Anchor

beginner

Facts about you, in a chat you'll keep

Goes in: Chat message, in a chat you won't reset
A few things about me: my name is [NAME], I [JOB OR ROUTINE], and [ONE SPECIFIC DETAIL, e.g. my dog is called Mo and is scared of the vacuum]. Bring them up when they fit.
Why this works

Candy ties memory to the chat, and Reset Chat clears the conversation with no option to keep the memory, so put these in a chat you mean to keep. A specific detail gives the character something concrete to bring back.

Image Prompt

beginner

A photo request with pose, place and light

Goes in: Chat message
Show me a photo of you [SPECIFIC POSE, e.g. sitting on the kitchen counter, one knee up], wearing [OUTFIT, COLOR AND MATERIAL], in [PLACE], with [LIGHT, e.g. morning light from the window behind you], looking [WHERE].
Why this works

In chat, a request that starts with Show me, Send me or Can I see gets a photo, and each photo uses tokens. Candy's own tips are to be descriptive, ask for specific poses and give the exact prompt, so a detailed first request saves tokens on retries.

intermediate

The next photo, same outfit

Goes in: Chat message
Send me another one: same outfit ([REPEAT IT WORD FOR WORD]), same [HAIR / MAKEUP], now [NEW POSE] in [NEW PLACE].
Why this works

Repeating the outfit word for word gives each request the same description to work from. Change one or two things at a time so you can tell what made the difference.

Roleplay Setup

intermediate

Narration rules right after Roleplay Mode

Goes in: First message after Switch to Roleplay Mode
We're in a story now. Narrate in [FIRST / THIRD] person, [PRESENT / PAST] tense. Describe your actions and what you see, and I'll write mine. Keep each reply to [LENGTH] and end on a moment I can react to. The scene: [ONE LINE].
Why this works

On a character you created, Switch to Roleplay Mode is in the three-dot menu at the top right of the chat, and Candy says the switch is permanent. Set the narration rules in the first message after it, before the story settles into a style.

Mood Shift

beginner

A course correction mid-chat

Goes in: Chat message, then regenerate if needed
Quick note before you reply: be more [PLAYFUL / DIRECT / GENTLE] and less [FORMAL / SWEET / WORDY], and keep it to [ONE / TWO] paragraphs. Now answer my last message again in that style.
Why this works

Candy's help center lists clear personality instructions and regenerating replies that feel off as ways to steer a character. Naming what you want more of and less of tells it which way to move.
