Regex processing

The Regex tab is a find-and-replace pipeline for chat text. Style what you see, or rewrite what gets stored and sent. If a model has a tic, you can delete the tic.

Two kinds of patterns

• Ephemeral: display only. The stored message is untouched; the pattern runs every time the message renders. The built-in dialogue and narration coloring works this way.
• Persistent: applied to the message text itself, permanently. What the pattern produces is what gets saved and sent to the model from then on.

Anatomy of a pattern

• Find: a JavaScript regular expression. Plain patterns get the g and m flags; write /pattern/flags to control flags yourself.
• Replace: the substitution, with $1-style capture groups. Ephemeral patterns may emit HTML for styling.
• Affects: your messages, the AI's messages, or both.
• Trim out: shorthand for "replace with nothing".

The built-in styling

Five ephemeral patterns ship enabled and give chats their look: code blocks, inline code, bold emphasis, italic narration and colored "dialogue". Disable or restyle them freely; the colors follow your theme.

Things people build with it

• Delete a model's signature filler ("I cannot help but notice...") the moment it appears.
• Convert asterisk actions to proper italics, or the reverse, to match a card's style.
• Strip XML scaffolding a preset asks the model to emit but you never want to read.
• Color a specific character's dialogue in group chats.
