| How To Private Poly Ai Character |
Step 1: Initiating Your Private Poly AI Character - The Foundation of Exclusivity
The journey to a private Poly AI character begins right at the moment of creation. Many users overlook the crucial privacy settings available during this initial phase, which can save a lot of hassle later on.
1.1 Accessing the Poly AI Creation Interface:
First things first, log in to your Poly AI account. Navigate to the "Create Character" or "New Character" section. This is usually prominently displayed on your dashboard or in the main navigation menu.
Tip: If you're a new user, take a moment to familiarize yourself with the interface. Understanding the layout will make the entire process smoother.
1.2 Locating the Privacy Settings During Creation:
As you begin to fill out your character's details (name, personality traits, etc.), keep an eye out for a section specifically dedicated to privacy. This might be labeled "Visibility," "Privacy Settings," "Audience," or something similar. It's often presented as a toggle switch, a dropdown menu, or a set of radio buttons.
Crucial Point: Do not proceed with saving your character before carefully reviewing these settings. This is your primary opportunity to establish privacy from the outset.
1.3 Selecting the "Private" or "Only Me" Option:
Within the privacy settings, you'll typically find options like "Public," "Unlisted," and "Private" (or "Only Me"). To ensure your character is truly private, you must select the "Private" or "Only Me" option.
What these options usually mean:
Public: Anyone can discover and interact with your character.
Unlisted: Your character won't appear in public searches, but anyone with the direct link can access it. (This is not truly private for your purposes).
Private / Only Me: Only you, the creator, can access and interact with this character. This is the setting we are aiming for!
1.4 Confirming Your Selection and Proceeding with Creation:
Once you've firmly selected "Private" or "Only Me," you can confidently proceed with defining your character's personality, dialogue, and other attributes. Double-check your selection before finalizing the character creation.
Remember: The initial privacy setting is paramount. It lays the groundwork for your private AI companion.
Step 2: Managing Existing Poly AI Characters - Retroactive Privacy Measures
What if you've already created a Poly AI character and now realize you want to make them private? Don't worry, it's usually possible to adjust their privacy settings after creation.
Tip: The details are worth a second look.
2.1 Navigating to Your Character List:
From your Poly AI dashboard, find the section that lists all your created characters. This might be labeled "My Characters," "My Creations," or similar.
Organize: If you have many characters, consider using any available search or filter options to quickly locate the one you wish to privatize.
2.2 Accessing Character Settings or Edit Options:
For each character in your list, there should be an option to "Edit," "Manage," or view "Settings." Click on this option for the character you want to make private. This will typically take you to a dedicated character management page.
2.3 Locating and Modifying Privacy Settings:
Within the character's settings or edit page, look for the same privacy-related options you encountered during the initial creation process (e.g., "Visibility," "Privacy Settings," "Audience").
Important: Just like in Step 1, select the "Private" or "Only Me" option.
Warning: Ensure you're not just making it "Unlisted" if your goal is complete privacy. "Unlisted" still allows access via a direct link.
2.4 Saving Your Changes:
After selecting the desired privacy setting, it's crucial to save your changes. There's usually a "Save," "Update," or "Apply Changes" button at the bottom or top of the settings page. Failing to save will mean your changes aren't applied.
Confirmation: Many platforms will provide a confirmation message indicating that your changes have been successfully saved. Look out for this.
Step 3: Understanding Poly AI Platform-Specific Nuances for Privacy
While the general steps above apply broadly, different Poly AI platforms might have slightly different terminologies or additional features related to privacy. It's vital to be aware of these.
3.1 Exploring Advanced Privacy Options:
Some platforms offer more granular control. For example, you might have options to:
Restrict interaction to specific users: Allowing only a select few friends to interact, rather than just yourself. This is not full privacy but an interesting alternative if you want a small, trusted group.
Password protect your character: Requiring a password to access the character, even if they have the link (often for "Unlisted" characters). This adds a layer of security but is distinct from "Private."
Disable public sharing features: Ensuring that social sharing buttons or direct public links are not generated for your character.
3.2 Checking the Platform's Help Documentation:
If you're ever unsure about a specific setting or if a feature seems missing, the best resource is the Poly AI platform's official help documentation or FAQ section. Search for keywords like "privacy," "character visibility," or "sharing settings."
Pro Tip: Most platforms have a search bar within their help sections. Use it!
3.3 Community Forums and Support:
If the documentation doesn't answer your question, consider checking the platform's community forums. Other users might have faced similar issues and found solutions.
As a last resort, contact the platform's customer support. They can provide direct assistance and clarify any ambiguities.

Step 4: Verifying Your Poly AI Character's Privacy - The Final Check
Once you've set your character to private, it's a good idea to verify that the changes have taken effect. This step gives you peace of mind.
4.1 Attempting to Access as a Non-Logged-In User:
Log out of your Poly AI account.
Try to find your character using the platform's search function (if it exists).
Expected Outcome: Your character should not appear in any search results.
If you know the direct link (for characters previously public or unlisted): Try to access the character using that link while logged out.
Expected Outcome: You should be met with an "Access Denied," "Page Not Found," or "Character Private" message.
4.2 Checking from a Different Device or Browser (Incognito Mode):
Open an incognito/private Browse window in your current browser, or use a completely different device (e.g., your phone if you were on your computer). Do not log into your Poly AI account on this device/window.
Attempt to find or access your character as described in 4.1.
Purpose: This helps confirm that your character is not publicly discoverable or accessible without being logged in to your specific account.
4.3 Confirming Within Your Account:
Log back into your Poly AI account.
Go to your "My Characters" list and click on the private character.
Expected Outcome: You should be able to access and interact with your character normally, confirming that it's private to you but inaccessible to others.
Visual Cues: Some platforms might display a "Private" badge or icon next to your character's name in your list.
By meticulously following these steps, you can ensure that your Poly AI character remains a private and personal creation, accessible only to you. Enjoy your exclusive interactions!
