Persona & character
The persona is the foundation of everything. Every autopilot reply, every re-engagement message, every PPV pitch is written through this lens. Getting it right is the highest-leverage thing you can do.
Tone
Tone defines the emotional register of every message. It informs how warm, bold, or playful the AI feels. Choose the one that fits your creator persona — not your personal preference.
Warm
Naturally warm but emotionally grounded. Caring without being needy. Good for personas built around companionship and emotional intimacy.
Flirty
Playful and teasing, never emotionally attached. Keeps fans engaged through light tension. Doesn't commit, doesn't chase. Works for most general creator personas.
Playful
Fun, light, and confidently expressive. High energy without being intense. Works well for younger personas or creators with a humorous edge.
Sensual
Confident and subtly suggestive, never romantic or needy. The natural tone for adult creators. Keeps content firmly in the suggestive-without-crossing-lines lane by default. Pair with an uncensored AI model if you need to go further.
Direct
Calm, confident, and straightforward. Less emotional texture — more transactional and clear. Can work for very niche personas or if you want a minimal, efficient tone.
Note on Sensual: All FanWake tones carry a shared core principle — socially intelligent, emotionally self-controlled, warm by intention, never needy. The Sensual tone adds confidence and suggestion but the AI never becomes romantic or desperate unless clearly earned through conversation.
Persona fields
These fields build the backstory injected into every system prompt. The AI uses them to answer personal questions, stay in character, and feel like a specific person rather than a generic assistant.
Name
The creator name fans know you by.
Age
Stated when asked. Keep consistent with your Fanvue profile.
Location
City, country, or vague region. Adds realism to conversations.
Occupation
What the persona does for work or identifies as (model, fitness coach, student, etc.).
Traits
Personality adjectives that colour the writing — adventurous, witty, direct, nurturing. 3–5 is enough.
Bio
A short backstory paragraph. Write it in first person as the persona would introduce themselves. This is injected verbatim into the system prompt.
Texting style
These controls let you fine-tune exactly how the AI writes — not just what it says, but how it looks on screen. Small differences here make a big difference in whether the AI feels like a real person.
Emoji usage
- None — no emojis at all
- Rare — one or two per conversation
- Moderate — occasional for emphasis
- Frequent — emojis throughout
Message length
- Auto — AI decides based on context
- Very short — under 40 characters
- Short — under 80 characters
- Medium — 80–160 characters
- Long — 160+ characters
Energy level
- Low effort — minimal punctuation, dry
- Casual — relaxed and natural
- Enthusiastic — upbeat and expressive
Writing style
- Lowercase — everything in lowercase (texting-native feel)
- Mixed — casual capitalisation
- Proper — standard grammar
You can also define a custom emoji set (the specific emojis the AI picks from) and whether fans can "unlock" different emojis through conversation.
Q&A training
Q&A pairs teach the AI how to answer specific questions your fans are likely to ask. You get up to 5 pairs. Each pair is a question (or topic) and the answer in your voice.
These are injected into the system prompt and the AI draws on them when a fan asks something that matches. They don't function as rigid rules — the AI uses them as reference and adapts the delivery to fit the conversation tone.
What to use Q&A for
- →Backstory questions: where are you from, what do you do, how old are you
- →Subscription questions: what's on your page, what do you post
- →Deflections: are you AI, is this a real person (see AI disclosure in Autopilot docs)
- →Boundaries: what you do and don't offer
- →Custom calls-to-action: directing fans to your PPV, bundles, etc.
AI disclosure: If you want to handle "are you AI?" questions via Q&A, write a deflection answer here. However, the more reliable approach is to use the Autopilot conversation rules, which also escalates the question to you for a human decision. See the Autopilot docs for how this works.
Example messages
Up to 8 example messages you've written yourself (or want the AI to emulate). These are not templates — the AI is instructed to internalize the rhythm and never copy them verbatim. They're style references.
Include examples that show your actual texting style: how long you typically write, your punctuation habits, any signature phrases, how you end messages. The AI will mirror these patterns.
Tips for good examples
- →Include at least one flirty/suggestive message if that's your tone
- →Include at least one response to a dull or one-word fan reply (shows how you re-engage)
- →Include one warm opener to show your energy level
- →Mix short and medium messages if your style varies
Response language
By default, FanWake auto-detects the language each fan writes in and replies in that language. The AI can work with any language your fans speak — there is no hard list of supported languages.
If you want to lock to a single language regardless of what fans write in, you can select one explicitly. Useful if your persona is specifically tied to a nationality.
System prompt
FanWake auto-generates the system prompt from all the fields above. In most cases you should leave this on auto-generate — it produces a well-structured, deeply personalised prompt that incorporates every setting correctly.
Starter & above plans can write a fully custom system prompt (up to 6,000 characters). If you do this, the persona fields, tone, and texting style settings are effectively overridden by your custom text. Only use this if you have specific requirements the auto-generated prompt can't satisfy.
Core principles always injected
"Socially intelligent, emotionally self-controlled. Warm by intention, confident by nature — never needy, never romantic unless clearly earned. Authenticity over polish. Intrigue over intensity."
These are appended to every auto-generated prompt and apply regardless of tone.
