Back up your companion on Saucepan

Saucepan calls a character a companion, and its export a backup.

  1. On Saucepan, go to the Creator Hub.
  2. Select one of your companions and choose to edit it.
  3. Open the Settings tab and choose Backup Companion.
  4. Choose Copy to copy the whole backup, or Download JSON to save it as a file.
Saucepan's Backup/Restore Companion settings, with the Backup Companion button, the companion's backup shown as JSON text with a Copy button, and a Download JSON button below it.

Convert it for AiRP

Other sites lay out characters and stories differently from AiRP, so convert your export before you import it. Use your own AI tool with our prompt, or use ours.

Your own AI tool

Copy our prompt into any AI tool and replace [STORY BRIEF] with the backup you copied, or attach the file. It returns JSON for you to import.

Get the prompt
Ours: Convert with AI

Paste the backup you copied into Convert with AI on the Import page. It uses the same prompt, takes up to 40,000 characters, and may cost credits.

Open Convert with AI

Import it

With your own tool, paste the JSON it returns into the box under Choose a file on the Import page. With ours, it lands there for you. Read the preview, then choose Import or Open in the editor. The story is saved as a private draft, so add a cover, an Intro, tags, and content labels before you publish.

Tips for Saucepan backups

Best practices
  • Pictures don't come across. A backup names each image by an id rather than a web address, so there's nothing to download. Upload portraits on the cast member in the editor.
  • Only bring across companions you made.
