7 Questions
01

1. What is Lumen, and why does it exist?

An 18+ AI character platform: make anime characters, generate art of them, and actually talk to them. It exists because we were creators on character platforms first, and kept hitting the same frustration: the people making the content felt like an afterthought. Lumen flips that. Creators are the whole point here. Your work gets treated like it matters, and when you speak up, someone's actually listening.

2. What does "beta" mean?

Everything's free, everything's premium, and some things will absolutely break. You're here to break them and tell us about it. Beta testers are the reason this thing will be good.

03

3. Is my stuff private? Is it secure?

You set visibility per character: Public, Unlisted (link-only), or Private. And anything private stays private. The database enforces per-user isolation at the lowest level, so it's not just the UI hiding things. Your characters, chats, and images are yours.

04

4. What are the content rules?

18+ only, no exceptions. No minors, no non-consensual content. Break that and you're gone. Otherwise we keep the rules surgical: the illegal and harmful stuff is blocked, everything else is your business.

05

5. How do I report a bug?

Drop it in #bug-reports on Discord. Screenshots plus "I was doing X when Y happened" get it fixed fastest. We read every single one.

06

6. Do my characters survive beta?

Yes, everything you make is yours to keep. And honestly? The people building the best characters right now get a head start on everyone. Early creators set the tone of the whole place. Stick around.

07

7. What will premium cost after beta?

Not locked in yet. We're setting pricing from real beta usage so it's fair, not greedy. You'll know well before anything ever charges.
