Conversation Starters are creator-configured prompts that greet a visitor's first message in 📝Chat & RAG — instead of a blank input box, a visitor sees a few suggested questions they can click to start talking. They exist because an empty chat box is intimidating; a few good prompts show a visitor what's actually worth asking. They're for any creator who wants visitors to actually use their chat, not just see it.
Key Capabilities
- Clickable suggestions — prompts render as buttons a visitor can click to send instantly
- Creator-configured — set your own prompts instead of relying on generic defaults
- Owner and visitor variants — a newer chat-settings surface supports separate prompt sets for you and for visitors
- Sensible fallback — if none are set, MythOS shows generic default prompts instead of an empty state
Getting Started
- Go to Settings → Profile for the classic three-prompt field, or Settings → Chat for the newer, unbounded prompt sets
- Write prompts that reflect what's actually interesting to ask about your library
- Visit your own public chat page to see how they render
FAQ
- How many can I set? The classic field holds three; the newer Chat Settings surface allows more.
- What happens if I don't set any? Visitors see generic default prompts instead of a blank chat box.
- Which surface takes priority if I've configured both? The newer Chat Settings prompts take priority over the classic three-prompt field when set.
- Do these show to me, the owner, or just visitors? They're aimed at visitors' first message; the newer surface also supports a separate owner-facing set.
