This is one of the most important things to understand on AI Peeps, because it decides whether a chat — and the Peep in it — sticks around. Three ideas link together: temporary chats → saving a chat → keeping the Peep.
Temporary chats (2 slots)
Every new chat starts in a temporary slot. You have 2 of them, holding your two most recent unsaved chats. Think of them as a parking spot, not a garage: automatic and handy, but not permanent storage.
Starting a new chat when both slots are full
When both temporary slots are full and you start a new chat (or create a new Peep), the oldest temporary chat has to make way. Don't worry — it isn't abrupt:
- AI Peeps asks you to confirm first.
- If you have a free permanent slot, it even offers a one-tap button to save that chat on the spot before you continue.
So nothing vanishes by surprise. That said, it's worth knowing what's at stake:
Saving a chat = keeping the Peep
The fix is simple: save the chat. Saving moves it into a permanent slot and keeps both the conversation and the Peep. You can:
- Tap the big blue → Save Chat button at the top of any temporary chat, or
- Save it from the confirmation prompt when starting a new chat, or
- Promote it any time from My Chats.
Permanent slots scale with your plan:
| Plan | Permanent chat slots |
|---|---|
| Starter | 3 |
| Pal | 25 |
| Pro | 45 |
Want a few more? Become a Creator — publish public Peeps and you earn a creator bonus of 5 extra chat slots on top of your plan (see Galleries & Sharing). If all your permanent slots are full, free one (delete a saved chat) before saving another. You can also buy extra slots outright: a one-off pack that raises your chat, Peep and private-Peep limits for good, on any plan, the free one included. The packs open from the Buy extra slots button on My Chats, and each one says how many of its slots may be group chats (a smaller number: a group chat takes a normal slot too).
Frozen chats
If you have more saved chats than your current plan allows (for example, after a subscription ends), older chats become frozen — read-only — until you free up an active slot by deleting another chat. Buying extra slots unfreezes them too, and it is the only way that does not cost you another chat.
Multiple chats with the same Peep
You're not limited to a single conversation per Peep. You can keep several separate chats with the same character — each with its own history, scenario, and your-profile — so you can explore different storylines side by side.
Forking a chat
Once a chat is saved, you can fork it: open it from My Chats and choose Fork (the branch 🔀 icon). Forking makes a copy of the chat including its history as a brand-new separate chat.
Think of it as a save point you can branch from: keep the original safe and take the copy in a completely different direction. It's perfect for trying a risky choice or a different mood without losing where you were.
