Why chat might not respond

Common causes:

  • Server is processing your request (can take 30-60 seconds)

  • Browser or connection issue

  • Insufficient dreamcoins

  • Content was flagged by moderation system

  • Character is offline or unavailable

Quick troubleshooting steps

1. Wait and check

  • Wait 60 seconds - responses can take time to generate

  • Check if you see "typing..." indicator

  • Don't send multiple messages quickly (this can cause delays)

2. Check your dreamcoins

  • Chat responses use dreamcoins if you use the Genius/Lively Genius model

  • Go to https://ourdream.ai/profile to check balance

  • If balance is low, purchase more coins or wait for subscription renewal

3. Refresh your browser

  • Click browser refresh button (F5 or Cmd+R)

  • This often resolves temporary connection issues

  • Your chat history will be preserved

4. Clear cache and cookies

  • Browser cache can cause issues

  • Clear cache for ourdream.ai specifically

  • Or try incognito/private browsing window

5. Try different browser

  • Switch to Chrome, Firefox, or Safari

  • Different browsers can handle chat differently

  • Make sure browser is up to date

6. Check internet connection

  • Unstable connection can interrupt chat

  • Try refreshing page if connection drops

  • Use stable WiFi instead of mobile data if possible

Content moderation issues

If chat suddenly stops responding, your message may have triggered content filters. There will be a flag that appears for this.

What to do:

  • Review your last message for prohibited content

  • Rephrase more generally

  • Check content guidelines at https://ourdream.ai/profile

  • Try a different character or topic

Character-specific issues

If chat works with some characters but not others:

  • Character may be technically complex and the model is having a hard time parsing the information given

  • Character creator may have made it private (there will be a popup saying this)

  • Try a different character to confirm chat is working
