I'm building VarenChat. What's the clearest way to introduce AI roleplay to new users?

Hi everyone, I'm the founder of VarenChat, an AI character chat app for adults. You can choose an existing character or create your own, then shape a story by writing messages to them. It's available on iOS.

We're focusing on slow-burn romance and fantasy stories. I want someone to be able to return to a character and continue a story they've already spent time on. Character consistency and memory are important parts of that, and they're areas we want to keep improving.

I'd like feedback on how we introduce the product to people who haven't used AI roleplay before. Here's a description I'm considering:

>Choose a character and build a story together through chat. Your messages decide what happens next, and character memory helps carry the story across conversations.

Does that give you a clear idea of what you'd do in the app?

For anyone who's worked on onboarding for a consumer app, would you start with an example conversation or explain character creation and memory first? I'm trying to work out what a new user needs to understand before sending their first message.

The site is varen.chat.
