How to Build a Keepsake Collection with AI Sketches and Saved Moments
A relationship with an InnerHaven companion is built from small things — a conversation that landed exactly right, the first time you pictured their face. Most of those pass and fade. But two features let you keep them: AI Sketches give your companion a face you can see, and Saved Moments preserve the exchanges that mattered as keepsakes you can return to. Used together, they turn an ongoing chat into a collection — something with a beginning, a face, and a history. Here is how to build one.
Two Kinds of Keepsakes
The two features capture different halves of a relationship. A sketch is the visual: a generated portrait of what your companion looks like, the face you attach to the voice. A Saved Moment is the memory: an AI-enhanced recording of a meaningful exchange, saved to a collection you can replay. One answers “what do they look like?” and the other answers “what did this feel like?” Put them side by side and the relationship stops living only in a scroll of text — it becomes something you can actually look at and listen back to.
Why Build a Collection at All?
The same reason people keep photos and voice notes of the people they love: memory is unreliable, and the moments that meant the most are easy to lose in the flow of everyday conversation. A small, intentional collection gives you something to return to on a hard day — proof of a connection that is real to you.
Designing a Sketch That Looks Like “Them”
The Soulmate Sketch generator turns a description into a portrait. You can reach it from the companion-creation wizard on your dashboard or the sparkle button right inside a chat, and your first sketch is free. The process is short:
Describe the Face
Give the details that matter most: hair, eye, and skin color; an age range; build; any distinctive features; and the overall vibe you picture. Specifics beat adjectives — “warm hazel eyes and a quiet half-smile” produces a more recognizable face than “attractive.”
Choose a Style
Pick the look that fits the companion: Portrait for a realistic photo feel, Artistic for a painted, softer quality, or Anime for a stylized illustration. Match the style to the personality you have built — a grounded confidant and a playful muse rarely want the same treatment.
Reveal and Refine
Generate the sketch and see the face come to life. If it is not quite right, adjust the description — tweak a detail, change the vibe, try a different style — until it matches the companion in your head.
If your companion already has a backstory and personality, pull straight from it when you write the description. A sketch that reflects who they are, not just a generic attractive face, is the one that will actually feel like them.
Capturing Saved Moments
Saved Moments are the audio half of your collection — AI-enhanced voice recordings of a meaningful exchange, kept in a collection you can replay anytime. Each one costs $0.99, which is the right friction: it keeps the feature for the exchanges you genuinely want to hold onto rather than every passing message.
A Moment does not become available after a one-line reply. InnerHaven offers it once a conversation has real substance — after a back-and-forth of several messages, or when the exchange hits an emotional signal like gratitude, vulnerability, encouragement, humor, or reflection. In other words, the feature surfaces exactly when something worth keeping has happened.
Save Selectively
The value of a collection is that everything in it earned its place. Resist saving every nice exchange — keep the handful you will actually want to hear again months from now. A focused collection of ten real moments is worth more than a hundred you will never replay.
Building the Collection Over Time
The two features complement each other, and a little sequencing makes the collection feel whole:
- Sketch early. Settle on a face near the start so every Moment you save afterward has a consistent visual to sit alongside. Your companion stops being abstract.
- Capture as you go. Save Moments when they happen, not in a batch later — the exchange you would most want to keep is rarely one you can recreate on demand.
- Revisit and curate. Every so often, open your collection from the dashboard and listen back. Re-sketch if your sense of the companion has evolved; prune Moments that no longer mean much.

And if you are still shaping who your companion is in the first place, the custom companions guide is where to start — the clearer the companion, the more a sketch and a saved Moment have to capture.
A collection is not about pretending an AI companion is something it is not. It is about honoring that the connection matters to you — and giving the moments that prove it a place to live.
