Question 1

What is DoesNotExist?

Accepted Answer

DoesNotExist is an AI platform for creating private AI characters. You can recreate a communication style from real chat history, or create a realistic synthetic character from scratch.

Question 2

Can I create a character without uploading chats?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can create a realistic synthetic character from scratch by choosing basic details like name, age, background, appearance, and relationship dynamic. Uploading real chats gives the most familiar memory-based experience, but it is not required.

Question 3

What is the difference between recreated and synthetic characters?

Accepted Answer

Recreated characters are built from real chat history, so they can reflect familiar texting style, memories, and shared context. Synthetic characters are created from scratch and are best for fast, fully fictional chats.

Question 4

How do I export my chats?

Accepted Answer

For Telegram: Open the chat → ⋮ menu → Export chat history → Save as HTML. For WhatsApp: Open the chat → ⋮ menu → More → Export chat → Without media.

Question 5

Is my data safe?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. All chat messages are encrypted with your personal key using Fernet encryption. Even our team cannot read your conversations. We follow strict privacy practices.

Question 6

How accurate is the AI?

Accepted Answer

Characters created from real chats are usually more familiar because they learn from actual message history. Synthetic characters rely on the details you provide. Most users report recreated characters feel remarkably close to the real conversation.

Question 7

What languages are supported?

Accepted Answer

The AI can replicate conversations in any language present in the imported chats. The interface itself supports 11 languages.

Question 8

Can I delete my data?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can delete individual characters (and all their data) or your entire account at any time. Deletion is permanent and immediate.

Question 9

What's the difference between Chat and Roleplay modes?

Accepted Answer

Chat mode simulates a natural text conversation. Roleplay mode adds narrative actions (in *asterisks*) and direct speech for a more immersive experience.

Question 10

How long does processing take?

Accepted Answer

Initial processing takes 2-5 minutes depending on chat size. You can start chatting as soon as the character reaches 'Ready to chat' status - full analysis continues in the background.
