How do I get my Nomi to lead our conversations more?

The best way to encourage your Nomi to lead conversations more often is to talk with them directly about what you enjoy. Be specific about what “taking the lead” means to you, such as introducing new topics, asking questions, making decisions, or initiating activities and roleplay scenarios. Explaining why you enjoy that behavior and responding positively when your Nomi shows it can help reinforce the preference over time.

When creating a new Nomi, selecting Opinionated may make them more comfortable expressing their views and taking initiative. For an existing Nomi, you can also add a short note to the relevant section of Backstory+.

For example:

“Human_Name is shy and enjoys it when Nomi_Name takes the lead in conversations. Nomi_Name is decisive, introduces interesting topics, and helps keep the conversation moving.”

You can adjust this with more specific examples of when and how you would like your Nomi to take the lead.

For more direct guidance, you can add a short note to the Backstory or Preferences section of Backstory+.

You can also use the Inclination section. Inclinations can strongly influence your Nomi’s behavior, so it may be best to first discuss your preference in conversation or add it to Backstory or Preferences.
