Navigate ImagiPortal

Learn where to find the Public Arena, chats, creation tools, Private Arena, and account settings.

Updated September 3, 2026

ImagiPortal brings companion discovery, conversations, character creation, and media tools into one app.

The layout looks different on a phone and a larger screen, but the main areas work in the same way.

Public Arena

The Public Arena is where you discover public AI companions made by the community.

Use it to:

  • Browse recommended companions
  • Explore different worlds and interests
  • Open a companion's profile
  • Start a chat or live call
  • Find characters from a specific creator

The Public Arena is the best place to begin if you are new to ImagiPortal.

Chats

Chats contains your current and previous conversations.

Open this area when you want to:

  • Return to an earlier conversation
  • Continue a story
  • Start a new chat with a companion
  • Move between different chat histories

Each new chat can use Chat or Roleplay mode. You can also choose whether to use Global Memory.

Create

The Create area brings the main creative actions together.

Depending on your device, you may find options to:

  • Create a new AI character
  • Start a new chat
  • Start a group chat
  • Generate images
  • Generate videos
  • Create a selfie with a character
  • Use Virtual Try-On

You do not need to use these tools during your first visit. Begin with the Arena and return to Create when you are ready.

Private Arena

The Private Arena keeps personal characters and familiar public companions in one place. Use its two views to keep them separate:

  • My Characters shows only AI characters that you created and own.
  • From Chats shows public AI companions made by other creators that you have chatted with.

For characters you created, use this area to:

  • Open a private or public character
  • Continue developing a private character
  • Review its profile, voice, media, and memory
  • Submit a finished character for publication
  • Manage a public character

If you have not created a character yet, the Private Arena opens From Chats first. You can interact with these public companions, but only their creators can edit or manage them.

Profile and Settings

Your Profile or Settings area contains your account information and controls.

This is where you can find items such as:

  • Profile and account settings
  • Arena and personal preferences
  • Subscription information
  • PORTI balance and purchase options
  • Activity and progress
  • Memory and privacy-related controls

On mobile, the main navigation bar contains five icons:

  1. Public Arena
  2. Chats
  3. Create
  4. Private Arena
  5. Profile

The icon for your current area is highlighted.

On larger screens, the sidebar gives you quick access to new chats, the Arena, chat history, and Settings. Creation and media options are also available from the main app pages.

If you are not sure where to begin:

  1. Open Public Arena.
  2. Choose a public companion.
  3. Read its profile.
  4. Select Start New Chat.
  5. Return to Chats when you want to continue.
  6. Explore Create after your first conversation.
