What does free to start mean?
You can begin using Fastmate without buying a package first. Optional in-app purchases are available. Free to start does not mean that every feature is unlimited or that every action is free.
Check the cost and availability shown in the product before using a feature or purchasing coins. The app's purchase screen is the place to confirm the current offer and price for your account and region.
Start your first conversation
Open Fastmate on the web, choose a character whose introduction interests you and follow the sign-in steps when asked. Respond to the introduction with a question or reaction. You do not need to complete an episode before trying character chat.
If you prefer a story with an ending, get the app and choose an episode. Read what an interactive AI story is before your first one.
Create your own Mate
The web creation flow lets you describe who your character is, with optional name and appearance details. Start with a simple fictional idea: a night-shift radio host with a dry sense of humor, for example.
Review the result and use the available edit options before starting a conversation. Keep your character description fictional; there is no need to include private information about yourself or someone else. Treat the Share control as a separate decision and review what you are sharing before using it.
What should I expect from memory?
A Mate can use earlier conversations and shared moments to help a conversation continue. This is not perfect recall: details may be missed or misunderstood. Remind the character when a detail matters, and correct an inaccurate reply.
Memory helps with a fictional conversation. It should not be your only record of important facts. Read the character chat guide for examples.
