Chat Mode
Chat mode is Whisper's default. It's an interactive session where you give instructions in plain English and Whisper takes action on your behalf. Think of it like having a conversation with a very capable assistant who has access to all your account data.
Starting a Session
bash
whisperIf you have multiple accounts, specify which one:
bash
whisper myaccountGiving Instructions
At the > prompt, type what you want in natural language. Whisper figures out what to do.
Some examples:
| What you type | What Whisper does |
|---|---|
show my unreads | Lists all unread conversations with previews |
read chat with @alice and respond | Opens Alice's conversation, reads it, drafts and sends a reply |
how much did I earn this week? | Checks your earnings data and gives you a summary |
find new subscribers from the last 48 hours | Searches for recent subscribers who haven't been messaged yet |
what's in my vault? | Lists your content folders with item counts |
send @bob the most popular photo set | Looks up your best-performing content and sends it as a paid message |
You don't need to be precise. "Check my unreads" and "show me unread messages" both work. Whisper understands intent, not exact phrasing.
Follow-Up Context
Whisper remembers what you've been doing during your session. If you just read a chat with Alice, you can say:
send her something teasingWhisper knows "her" means Alice because that's who you were just talking about.
This makes conversations with Whisper feel natural. You don't have to repeat subscriber names or context with every instruction.
Per-Subscriber Memory
Whisper maintains a separate memory for each subscriber. When you read a chat with Alice, the AI loads everything it knows about Alice: her preferences, spending patterns, conversation history, and any notes you've made.
This means conversations with Alice don't bleed into Bob's context. Each subscriber is treated as a unique person with their own relationship to your account.
The AI also updates subscriber profiles automatically. If it learns that someone prefers video content or tips on weekends, it saves that for future conversations.
Subscriber Routing
You can quickly switch your focus to a specific subscriber without going through unreads.
Sticky context with /sub:
/sub aliceYour prompt changes to @alice> so you always know who you're focused on. Everything you type goes to Alice's AI session until you switch away.
/sub clearThis returns you to the general > prompt.
One-off messages with @mention:
@bob check his latest message and respondThis routes just that one instruction to Bob's session without changing your sticky context.
For the full details, see Subscriber Routing.
Directives
You can set standing instructions that apply to every conversation:
/note Push the Beach Day photoset to outdoor fansWhisper will follow this directive across all conversations until you remove it. For more, see Directives.
