Question 1

What is DoesNotExist?

Accepted Answer

DoesNotExist is an AI platform for creating personalized fictional AI characters. You can create characters from scratch or optionally personalize them with user-provided context, notes, and examples you have the right to use.

Question 2

Can I create a character without uploading anything?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You can create a fictional synthetic character from scratch by choosing basic details like name, age, background, appearance, and conversation style. Optional context import is available but not required.

Question 3

What is the difference between synthetic and context-based characters?

Accepted Answer

Context-based characters are personalized using optional user-provided conversation examples, so they can adapt to familiar tone, vocabulary, and preferences. Synthetic characters are created from scratch and are best for fast, fully fictional creative chats.

Question 4

How do I export conversations for context import?

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

Yes. Original chat imports are processed for personalization and are not stored after preprocessing. Derived character memory is encrypted at rest and in transit with per-user encryption, user-controlled, and can be deleted at any time. The platform also includes automated content moderation, rate limiting, abuse prevention, in-app reporting, and account suspension for policy violations.

Question 6

How does personalization work?

Accepted Answer

Characters personalized with context adapt to general tone, vocabulary, pacing, and preferences from user-provided examples. Characters created from scratch rely on the details you provide.

Question 7

What languages are supported?

Accepted Answer

The AI can adapt to any language present in user-provided context. The interface supports 11 languages.

Question 8

Can I delete my data?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 9

What's the difference between Chat and Creative chat modes?

Accepted Answer

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

Question 10

How long does processing take?

Accepted Answer

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