Italics: Put an asterisk (*) surrounding the word(s) you want to be in an italic font.

Bold: Put two asterisk (*) surrounding the word(s) you want to be bold.

Large text: Put a hashtag (#) then a space behind your sentence/phrase.

Highlighted: Put a special apostrophe (`) around your sentence/phrase

Long dash: Put three dashes (-) together to make one large line in the text.

Most, if not all of these fonts, are able to be used at the same time. For example, this means that you can have bold italics: Like this, put three asterisks in front and behind your phrase/sentence

Creating an AI bot: Tips and Tricks + How to do

How to create a bot:

Main menu > Create > Make a name (required) > Make a tagline (optional) > Make a description (optional) > Make a greeting (required) > Check over work > Post

Tips and Tricks

Use good grammar and spell correctly in description and greeting as this greatly improves the user's chat experience.
Don't make it too lengthy or too short, one to two paragraphs is fine.
Don't put obvious NSFW content in the bot's profile picture as C.AI will delete the bot and potentially punish you.
Put double speech (") around speech and asterisk(s) (*) around anything that isn't speech so the user and bot can distinguish between speech and actions.
