Quick Start

Get from signup to your first live conversation with a Mistscale NPC in about five minutes. Sign up, set up a Studio, create a Project, build an NPC, and chat with it in the Playground.

Follow these five steps end-to-end. Every step is a click-path inside the dashboard.

STEP 01

Create your account

Sign up with email or Google. You'll be dropped into the onboarding flow.

STEP 02

Set up your Studio

Name your Studio during onboarding. It's your team workspace. Invite collaborators later from the Invites page.

STEP 03

Create a Project

From the Dashboard, create a Project. Think of it as one world or one game; it isolates your NPCs and memory from anything else you build.

STEP 04

Create your first NPC

Open the Project, go to NPCs → Create NPC. Fill identity (name, voice, backstory), cognitive traits (personality, goals, fears), and optionally upload a knowledge file. Save.

STEP 05

Chat in the Playground

Open the Playground, pick the NPC from the sidebar, and start talking. The right-hand inspector shows the NPC's emotion, mood, and thinking trace live.

Take it slow on your first NPC
Spend a few minutes tuning personality and goals. The richer the identity, the more distinctly the NPC will behave in the Playground.
