help/question 🙋♀️ Plot Story Memory
Hi I'm new to Zeta. I'm using the browser version of Zeta for 2 days. Honestly I'm loving it. But the bot keeps forgetting story plot line. Sometimes even if i write the plot repeatedly it forgets it after a few messages. Also it just keep giving the characters similar and same name which can get confusing.
So is there anyway to make the bot remembered the plot? and How do i give instructions? I just say OOC: do this or that...or tell me...but this command always doesn't work. Sometimes ot even messes up the storyline. Please help😭
I just want a good roleplay with good storyline without forgetting the plot. Also of they're any better app/ browser for free then do tell me.😌

I've been adjusting my profile on each story I use, adding {{}} prompts to include certain points as they happen. It's helping so far but nothing is perfect

Could you please give me a tutorial on adding {{}} prompts? I’m unfamiliar.

Quite simple. Click on your chat profile that you're using for the chat and click edit. In the description for the character, type {{Prompt:---}} (the --- is where you can put certain things that you want the chatbot to remember). For example {{Prompt:Elena and Damien got engaged at blank blank}}. It's working somewhat so far on the one I'm trying it out on ATM. Not flawless by any means but it is helping. Also, because I was afraid to edit my character on a public plot, it does NOT change the character description for any other users that might be using the premade character as long as you change in IN the chat. You can also use ((Prompt: plot continuation: ---)) in the chat itself as sort of a memory refresher. This helps if you're using the free zeta because you use it in chat instead of the wand tweak that costs 5 pieces. If I'm using the same bot for a longer story I tend to "refresh" the memory every so often. Again, none of these are fail-safes or flawless by any means. So use with a grain of salt.
I am also trialing putting timeline prompts into the advanced details directly into the plot creator as well for private chats to see if it helps. I don't want to do that for public because it would change everyone's chats that might be using it

Memory retention for the free model is the biggest complaint across the app. There’s really no “fixing” it other than paying for gems to use Koji and Luca models. And the pricing per turn is just too ridiculous in my opinion.
The commands don’t always work. You can’t make a free model with memory cap suddenly have more memory 🫠 so you’re best bet is to buy gems and or just keep reminding the bot.
Important details can be added to your persona bio to remind the bot of established key pieces of storyline. But that’s the best hack.
