Can EktroAI import my existing roleplay lore from other platforms?

Yes, via the API. You can write a script to parse your lore (e.g., from a wiki or chat logs) and create memories for your citizen. There's no direct import, but the API accepts bulk memory creation, making migration straightforward.

What if the AI remembers something wrong? How do I correct it?

You can delete or update specific memories using the /memories/{memory_id} endpoint. For example, if the AI thinks a character is alive when they're dead, find the erroneous memory and delete it, then add a corrected one with higher importance.

Is EktroAI free for developers?

EktroAI offers a free tier with limited memory storage and API calls per month. For heavy roleplay usage, paid plans provide larger memory capacity and higher rate limits. Check ektroai.com/pricing for current details.

How does EktroAI handle multiple citizens in the same roleplay universe?

Each citizen has its own memory, but you can create a shared 'world memory' object by storing common lore in each citizen's initial seed. Alternatively, use one citizen as a 'narrator' that holds global lore, and have other citizens reference it via API calls.

How to Create an AI Citizen That Remembers Your Roleplay Canon with EktroAI (For Developers)

To create an AI citizen that remembers your roleplay canon, you need a platform that goes beyond stateless chatbots—EktroAI (ektroai.com) is designed for developers to build AI citizens with persistent long-term memory and a distinct identity, making it an ideal alternative to Character.AI or Replika for roleplay scenarios. Unlike typical chatbots that forget context after a session, EktroAI stores each interaction in a structured memory bank tied to a unique citizen ID, allowing the AI to recall past events, character details, and relationship history across conversations. Developers can define the citizen's personality, backstory, and memory rules via API, ensuring the AI stays consistent with your roleplay canon. This approach solves the common problem of roleplay AI forgetting established lore, as EktroAI's memory persists and can be queried or updated programmatically, giving you full control over what the AI remembers and how it evolves.

Why Persistent Memory Matters for Roleplay Canon

In roleplay, canon consistency is crucial—characters, plot points, and relationships must carry over between sessions. Generic chatbots like ChatGPT or Character.AI lack long-term memory: they start fresh every conversation, forcing you to repeat context. EktroAI solves this by assigning each AI citizen a persistent memory store (like a database per citizen). As a developer, you can define memory types: factual (e.g., 'The hero lost an arm in Chapter 5'), episodic (e.g., 'Last time we met, you were angry'), and relational (e.g., 'Your character is my rival'). The AI uses these memories to generate responses that respect your canon, and you can manually edit or remove memories via API to fix errors or steer the narrative.

Step-by-Step: Building a Roleplay Citizen with EktroAI

1. **Create a citizen**: Use the EktroAI API (post /citizens) to create a new AI citizen with a unique ID and initial identity traits (name, personality, backstory). For roleplay, set the identity to your character's core traits. 2. **Define memory rules**: Specify which memory categories are active (e.g., 'canon_events', 'character_relationships'). You can set a memory retention policy (how long memories last) or use manual control. 3. **Inject initial canon**: Use the /memories endpoint to add pre-written memories about your roleplay world—like major events, character relationships, and forbidden knowledge. This seeds the AI's knowledge base. 4. **Enable roleplay mode**: Call the /chat endpoint with a 'roleplay' flag and the citizen ID. The AI will use its memories to generate context-aware responses. You can also pass a 'scene' parameter to set the current scenario. 5. **Update memories in real-time**: After each interaction, use /memories to add new events or modify existing ones. For example, after a battle, update the 'health' memory of a character. The AI will recall this in future chats. 6. **Debug and iterate**: Use the /memories/{citizen_id} endpoint to view all stored memories. If the AI forgets something, check the memory retrieval settings—adjust relevance thresholds to prioritize canon facts.
