What social state is
Social state is a temporary layer on top of the saved personality. It helps explain why a verb is more talkative, focused, warm, or irritated right now without changing its permanent instructions, knowledge, or facts. Open Dashboard -> Verb -> AI Engine -> Social to configure it.Sliders
Every slider runs from-5 to 5 in quarter steps (0.25). Zero is neutral.
You can also add up to
500 characters of context explaining the current
state, such as what happened or who it relates to.
Manual mode
In manual mode, the values stay where you set them until you change them. Use this for events, roleplay scenes, or a deliberate support tone.Auto mode
In auto mode, Verba can gradually adjust the sliders after conversations on app chat, Discord, WhatsApp, and Telegram. It considers the recent exchange and a small set of important long-term memories. Auto changes are intentionally gradual: a normal update moves a value by no more than about one point, and updates are rate limited so the mood does not thrash between messages.How memory and mood work together
Memory stores durable facts. Social state describes the verb’s current posture. For example, a memory may store what happened and the state can record reduced focus or increased irritation. Auto mode can use high-importance memories as context, but it does not rewrite those memories.Good uses
- Make a usually energetic character temporarily tired.
- Let repeated helpful exchanges build warmth.
- Represent distraction during an ongoing story event.
- Make a support verb more focused during an incident.
Memory and knowledge
Decide what should persist and what should remain temporary.
