What is a session

A session is the actual roleplay that users can play with the AI. Session in astrsk.ai are created by selecting (character and plot) cards and a flow from the user's personal library. Along with the cards and flow which the user selects from their personal collection, the user can also set local settings (background image, chat styling, language, etc) to enrich the roleplaying experience.

Key facts about session

• Cards and flows are global resources:
  • Character and plot cards can be easily added or removed form the session.
  • The cards and flows that are used in a session references the ones in your library.
  • Changes to cards and flows affect all sessions using them.
• Session-specific settings remain local: Each session maintains its own chat history, background image, chat styling, and translation settings.
