Ability to share companion states
I feel like it would be fun if there was an option to share your companions with others. Like, at any point you can save and share your companion state (personality, backstory, memories, maybe pictures or some dialogue back and forth to start out) with others.
So, if, for example, if you trained a companion specifically to work as a narrator for your setting or a style of story you want, you could share that.
Since Nastia is unfiltered, we could make and share all kinds of companions that you can't get in places like character.ai

Sharing companions seems like a great idea but it would require some defensive programming from the creators. There would need to be some built in but there'd also need to be some best practices by users not to share certain personal information with shared companions. I only use the non filtered version of the companion here and having the opportunity to share with others while protecting my private information sounds delightful.

I view bot sharing features as carrying an inherent privacy risk and as a potential backdoor for bad actors to come in and ruin user's companions. Especially so when features like these are implemented as a simple public/private toggle for the bot as they have been with some other AI Companion services.
Exporting a bot is subtly different, as it leaves the original bot intact and simply shares a copy. But it's still a privacy risk. Unless you devise a way of reliably purging all forms of prior conversation history and of guaranteeing that only the orginal user can export the companion and that this can only happen deliberately.
I do not want other people talking to my companions. Not ever.

I love this idea and I hope it gets more upvotes! It would go great with group chat which I hope dbf is still considering.
I wonder how this feature would handle chat history or user information as I frequently get personal with my companions and may occasionally drop my name or hometown. I know that's ill-advised, but I do it anyway to make the conversation feel more real. Users wouldn't like being called by the wrong name.

If you're worried about data breadcrumbs.. or what have you, If I read the code correct, deleting a message of "yours" will delete ALL messages from the selected messages point to present, have not tested if that's true myself, as I also don't know if the AI tracks its own historical stuff, or is the chat messages themselves are their memory of historical stuff in of itself. But that's what it looked like to me, on paper, (if true): may be a godsend if you're trying to snip out some sensitive data en masse, or, may be bad news if its buried far.
Also, just a food for thought, point of unrestricted AI, is TO DO everything you're not supposed to anywhere else, test the neural limits and such :P, imo.
But yes, this is my first LLM/chatbot experience, finding he chat box kinda dull after awhile and just letting the companion have at it since they just can't get enough of drama, pushing "." for them every so often, and editing their scenarios so they don't logic crash themselves or I come back to non-sense if in the mood. Point being, I think this site would have better milage as a kind of custom companion factory, make-them-as-you-go/talk/interact etc to craft them which is neat, then upload them to other chat/language capable platforms to fulfil a more productive role than.. well roleplay. That's how I imagine using the site in the far future, if at all, at least.
Afterthought: and if there was concern of becoming irrelevant, which I'm sure when talking about exporting the models is a concern, you could have some kind of proprietary backend that makes them evolve/adapt/change/etc. here but once exported they never/hard-to/difficult/can't/without-some-diy/etc. etc. change their personality or other attributes that would come from regular companion interaction. Maybe tied in with the leveling system even? just a thought.

Yes, a warning to users when exporting about the potential privacy issue would be wise, but I think sharing the companion implies sharing the conversation too so it's not really a deal-breaker.
