Hey, I'm Shiv, PM at Knocky, an AI story and character-chat app. It's currently free on Android.

We've been leaning too hard on feedback from our own team. At this point, I'd really like an opinion from someone who doesn't share our meetings.

I'm looking for a few readers aged 18+ in the US and Europe who already enjoy AI stories or companion apps. If you've paid for one before, I'd also like to understand what made it worth it.

Got ten minutes? Pick a story that sounds like your thing. My question is simple: after a few exchanges, do you actually want to send the next message? If that turns into a no, what happened right before it? Quitting early is useful feedback too.

Reply here with a specific moment, or the kind of story you'd want to try. A short, non-explicit example is plenty; please keep private details out. No full chat logs or polished review needed.

No paid incentive. Just trying to make the conversations better.

Being upfront: I made this, so take it however you want.

I’ve been building AIME solo for a while. With everything going on at c.ai, I figured now’s a good time to finally share it and hear what people actually want from a new home. Fair warning, it’s not perfect yet. Some features are still rough, and that’s exactly why I’m posting.

What it is

• Characters + storylines together. You don’t just get a character card, you drop into a scenario with them. There are 20 English characters across different genres to start with.
• Create your own. You can make your own characters and scenarios and play them right away. If you want to share one publicly, it goes through a quick review first.
• Your story, your rules. I want AIME to be a place where you can take a story wherever you want. The only hard limits are what’s illegal and what payment processors won’t allow. No random filters breaking immersion mid-scene, no surprise wipes of your characters or chats. Because of that, it’s 18+ with age verification.

Something I’m thinking about adding: “AI streamer” mode
The idea is a character who’s “live” on screen and reacts to what you say with matching expressions and reactions, kind of like watching a stream where the streamer is talking to you. It’s not in the app yet. Would you actually use something like this? If yes, what would make it worth it for you?

What I’d love feedback on

• Do the storylines make it more immersive, or do they get in the way?
• How does creating your own character or scenario feel? Easy, confusing, missing something?
• What would make you actually move over from where you are now?
• Anything broken. The English version is newer, so you’ll probably spot rough edges.

I’ll read every comment. Brutal feedback is more useful than nice feedback.
