# Help Me Reply

Help Me Reply is a tool you can use when you are not sure what to say next in a chat. If you ever have a moment of "What do I even write now?", Help Me Reply can suggest a message for you, so the conversation keeps flowing.

Help Me Reply doesn’t replace you. It simply gives you a starting point when you feel stuck.

## Where is the Help Me Reply?

You can find Help Me Reply next to the message input box in any chat. Its inside the Plus icon.

## Starting a Reply

When you open Help Me Reply, you will see two options if you already have text typed in the message box:

![Help Me Reply options UI](https://lhdgeo5fms.ufs.sh/f/m0TBUtMLsaiEhsPmrNYy8QKsz1bUcRixZ7tHBO4qoCruLYPV)

-   **Use my text as base:** expands or improves the draft you already wrote
-   **Write something new:** ignores your draft and generates a fresh reply from scratch

If the message box is empty, Help Me Reply simply generates a new reply.

## Modes and streaming

Help Me Reply supports two styles: **Conversation-like** and **Roleplay-like**. Pick the mode that fits your current chat.

-   **Conversation-like**: natural, casual replies
-   **Roleplay-like**: in-character, narrative replies

Replies now stream in real time, so you can stop early or regenerate without waiting for a full response.

Streaming can be toggled in settings if you prefer full replies at once.

## Settings

You can fine-tune Help Me Reply in settings, including options like Max Token Output for shorter or longer suggestions.

You can also choose a specific model for Help Me Reply, or leave it set to your app’s default model.

## Using your text as a base

If you’ve already started writing something but get stuck halfway, Reply Helper can treat your text as a starting point. It will try to continue, refine, or smooth out your message while keeping your intent.

This is useful when:

-   You know what you want to say, but not how
-   Your draft feels awkward or incomplete
-   You want a clearer, more natural reply

## Writing something new

If you don’t know what to say at all, choose **Write something new**. The assistant will suggest a reply based on the conversation, tone, and context.

You’ll see the suggestion before sending it, so you can read it calmly and decide what to do next.

## Accepting or regenerating

When a suggestion is generated, you have two options:

-   **Regenerate:** get a different suggestion
-   **Use This:** copy the reply into the message box so you can send or edit it

You always remain in control. Nothing is ever sent automatically.

## Why use Help Me Reply?

Help Me Reply exists for those small pause moments, when your brain slows down but the story or conversation shouldn’t.

-   It helps reduce writer’s block
-   It keeps role-play flowing
-   It supports users who struggle with wording or social anxiety

## Which model does Help Me Reply use?

Help Me Reply uses a dedicated model if you pick one in its settings panel. If no specific model is configured, it falls back to your default app model.

That means you can run a smaller or cheaper model just for reply suggestions while keeping your main chat model untouched.

## Group chats

Help Me Reply also works inside group chats. It looks at the recent group conversation, sees who is speaking, and suggests what _you_ could say next as the user (not as one of the characters). The same style, max tokens, streaming, and model settings apply.

## Swap places

If the current chat has Swap Places turned on (you play the character and the AI plays your persona), Help Me Reply respects that swap. The suggestion is written for whichever side you are actually playing in that session.

## Turning it off

Help Me Reply can be disabled entirely in settings. When disabled, the action is hidden in the chat input and the backend rejects requests for it. This is useful if you want a pure no-assist writing experience.
