AI Lore Cards — Build Your World, Lock In the Facts
What are AI lore cards and how do they work?
Lore cards are permanent, always-on context blocks you write once and attach to a character or world. Every conversation with that companion includes your lore — the AI never contradicts the rules of your universe, no matter how long the session runs.
How it works
Write the facts that can never change
Create a lore card for anything that defines your world: a character's true name, a relationship's history, a location's rules, a power system's limits. These are facts the AI will always respect.
Cards stay in context automatically
Unlike chat memory (which is retrieved contextually), lore cards are always present. They anchor every response to your established worldbuilding without you doing anything.
Attach cards to characters or worlds
A lore card can be scoped to a specific character (only that companion sees it) or to a world (every character in that world inherits it). Build a consistent universe across multiple companions.
Layer with long-term memory
Lore cards provide the permanent skeleton; long-term memory fills in what happened in your specific sessions. Together they give your AI the full picture — world rules plus personal history.
Why it matters
The biggest frustration in AI roleplay is AI drift — the character forgets who they are, contradicts established facts, or invents lore that breaks your story. Lore cards fix this at the source. You define the ground truth of your world once, and every conversation builds on it rather than against it.

| chatbrat.ai | Most alternatives |
|---|---|
| ✓ Structured lore cards — permanent, always-on, scoped to character or world | No lore system — users paste worldbuilding into every system prompt manually |
| ✓ World-scoped lore shared across all characters in that world | No concept of shared world context between characters |
| ✓ Lore cards + long-term memory layered together | Either memory or system prompt — not both structured |
| ✓ Free to create and use lore cards | Advanced context features often behind a subscription |
Frequently asked questions
What's the difference between a lore card and a system prompt?
A system prompt defines the AI's personality and role. A lore card defines facts about your world — things that are true regardless of what role the AI is playing. You can have both.
How many lore cards can I create?
There's no hard cap on lore cards per character or world on the free plan.
Can lore cards contradict each other?
They can if you write conflicting facts. The AI will try to reconcile them but may behave inconsistently — keep your lore internally consistent for the best results.
Do lore cards work with custom characters I create?
Yes. Lore cards work with any character on the platform — curated characters, your own creations, and characters imported from SillyTavern V2 cards.
Can I share lore cards with other users?
World lore cards are shared with anyone who uses a character attached to that world. Personal lore cards on a character you've made public are included when others chat with that character.
