Make a background with Alo

Alo can make a background that runs behind the whole app, only for you.

  1. In a chat with Alo, describe the background you want, for example: "Make my chat a calm ocean sunset."
  2. Alo's answer shows a card with a small live picture of the background. Select Preview to see it behind the app; Stop preview ends it.
  3. Select Apply. The card then shows Applied.
  • The background is saved on your account. It shows in every workspace and on every device you sign in on, until you remove it.
  • It follows your Light or Dark theme.
  • Nobody else sees it. While it is on, it replaces your workspace's home page background for you.
  • To remove it, select Remove on the card, or the paintbrush button at the top of any chat (Remove chat theme).
  • If a background stops the app from responding, Alomana turns it off the next time you open the app and tells you so.

Next to Cookie preferences, select Edit to see or change which cookies you allowed, including analytics.
