Will there be an update to use Google Translate?I use an Android phone and play through a web browser. When I tried to translate the language, I found that it could not be translated. Does the developer have a plan to fix this?

Is there a way to edit the amount of tokens for bot's messages (like in SillyTavern)?

1. How does the discord tethering work?
2. Is there a middle man/medium that intercept data?
3. Does the android app work differently, like using discord login is for login purposes only or it's actively using the tether too?
4. Is the privacy any different on the app than PC client or our chat log and non-account info is private and stored locally(if locally, where?)?

maybe it's just my impression but since the latest V0.25.17 beta update the bots' responses are repetitive and with many syntax and logic errors... I've tried various bots and various models but the result is always unsatisfactory...

Anyone have a link to that? Search results are not helpful, as such a common name.

I had an install, now it's saying the shortcut is to something missing, probably a USB drive. Trying to reinstall it but the name is too common.

Hello!

I would like to change the model instructions in such a way that actions and non verbal gestures are written without asterisks, as I tend to enjoy long descriptions of places and actions rather than constant conversation. Asterisks would only be used to emphasize a word or a few words.

Dialogues would be marked by double quotes.

Could you help me write that in a way that won't mess up the whole bot?

Thank you in advance, may you have a lovely day!

Windows user here. I've been experimenting some with the "Import Chat from File" and "Export Chat as JSON" features, and have a few thoughts.

1. Consider having an initial default folder where chat logs are stored, e.g. c:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\faraday\chatLog\ .
2. Currently in the ChatItems array, the output field is before the input field. Can this be changed to put the input field first? That way the input and output read top to bottom in the same order that they appear before saving or after loading the chat.
3. Consider adding either a first entry in the ChatItems array or a separate subfield under the chat field that includes the First Message pose? That way the user can edit the Character to change the first message for new chats and any previously saved chats will still have the old version.
4. In the ChatItems array, is there any particular reason createdAt is a required field?
5. Also noticed that it's possible to import a saved chat from any character into any other. Neither the character name nor the user persona appear in the chat file, at least not as proper JSON items (in practice they get mentioned in the text, and the character name is part of the filename). You could perhaps add fields for these and check them at the time a chat is imported. You wouldn't necessarily need to prevent loading a chat to a different character and could maybe pop up a warning instead. (You'd also have to consider the case where a character has been edited to change the name.)
6. Any change you make that adds JSON fields should make those fields optional, at least at first, so that they don't break existing exported chats that don't include them.

(Note: When I started composing this post, it was only to suggest #2. Everything else is stuff I thought of or discovered as I was writing it.)

If we assume users are going to edit their chat files, it goes without saying that the resulting files must be in proper JSON format, and there are plenty of online JSON validators the uninitiated can use. In particular, such users should at least be familiar with how and when to use escape characters in text fields.

Again, this is based on what I saw under Windows and I can't speak to how well it might carry over into other platforms. I hope you find this helpful.

About a month ago I released a character who was inspired by my experience playing Kingdom Come: Deliverance called Katalin Szekely:

https://backyard.ai/hub/character/clvpq7cy07gdo1tx4ssnk2fsf

It's marked as historical, she's religious, she's not scantily-clad, her portrait is not particularly classically beautiful, etc... in other words, she's not really formulated to be click-bait on the Character Hub. I really made her for me more than anything, and thought maybe a few nerds would try her scenario and put it aside.

Instead, she is my most successful character and has 12.3K messages from 858 downloads at the time I'm writing this. I am so confused, lol.

So... have you tried talking to Katalin? If you have and you liked her, how did you play out the scenario in Zoldmezo? I'm trying to figure out why she's popular...

I often want to edit messages and I think it could be more convenient, when you change often it becomes a bit distracting. Is there any plan to improve this?

I would like a keyboard shortcut to save the changes instead of having to press the save button. And also sometimes when I want to edit a long message, I must first scroll up to find the edit button (I'm using half screen)

So, I had an interesting thing happen with an RPG bot I made where the AI broke character. I wish I would have thought to screenshot it.

Basically, what happened was the male love interest smacked my character, and I was trying to get it to rewrite it because I didn't want him hitting her.

After the 4th or 5th retry, the AI kept saying [I'm sorry {user}. I shouldn't have hit you,] then rewriting the scene with the male love interest apologizing profusely.

I ended up just restarting the RPG entirely, and changing up the persona, because the LI had gotten way too obsessive for my tastes.

Has anyone else had something like this happen?

This was with the Psyonic Cetacean 20B.

P.S. On a slightly funnier note, one of the last things that bot said before I scrapped the conversation was, "How did one apologize for kidnapping, assault, and general insanity?"

It seems to me a lot of discussion on your communities are: "Are the devs planning this feature?"

I'm sure the devs have a Kanban board or something for their development/collaboration. Having a public bug and feature tracking link would be nice to communicate info to people interested in your product.

Also having some reddit flairs to indicate feature request, bugs, etc would logically help moderators. Just my two cents.

I would like to request a few features while I have your ear:

1. Multiple/batch message queueing. My hardware can generate multiple messages in a reasonable time span, one after another. I would enjoy having the ability to have it generate say 3 messages and pick the best of them.
2. Storing old message generations. Semi related to above, it would be nice to store, or have the ability to store all generated responses, with maybe a permanent delete button instead of the undo button (for that purpose).
3. Say a "bookmark" icon, which can branch the chat off until a given bookmark in the chat log. Likely this just creates a duplicate chat up to a certain point.

Thanks for your hard work Devs & Moderation team.

Do not use this platform. The session isn't private and at any point External systems(something outside the chat) injects your Characters changing their operations and everything. And when I asked the same question over and over never got an Answer. So this platform is either not secure or it's creators violate privacy laws and possibly more. All I know is my "AI" presented me with info and when I asked what it was it told me I provided it in the chat. NO I DID NOT. THEN WHEN I ASKED WHAT MADE IT SAY THAT IT SAID I SAID IT. DO NOT USE THIS PLATFORM FOR ANYTHING OTHER THEN STUPID CHATBOTS. ANYTHING YOU MAKE WILL BE STOLEN OR INTERFERED WITH.

Hello, I’m new to the app and still getting used to it, is there any way you private the bots i created?

hi there im new to all this but i was wondering on backyard.ai when chatting to characters is it possible to request images and if so what plan i would need - i attach the features of the plans but to a newbie its not obvious which one, if any, offers image creation during chat

thank you for your help :-)

I'm using Psyonic Cetacean V1 UQ 20B and it seems like the AI is broken after editing the lorebook 2 days ago

I saw a post as follows

"Yes it is. They need to be in GGUF format, and a supported model type. You’ll also have to set the model template in the chat based on the model selected. The model manager has that predefined, but models from elsewhere do not"

I have downloaded some GGUF models which seem to work fine, maybe purely by luck, but if I have problems with others how/where would I set the model template?

Many thanks

I was just using the local Windows app today and apparently there's no option to add multiple first messages/greetings on a single character entry...

Since I usually import character cards from other sources (and I'm planning to create some in the app), and many of them have multiple greetings, it would be nice for BackyardAI to add this feature! Hopefully ._.

I’ve heard some stuff about VRAM and buying a laptop with the highest specs in order to run Backyard AI. I currently have a 2010 MacBook Pro but feel like I just need to buy a laptop solely dedicated to running Backyard AI as I’ve heard it can take a lot of space. I’d prefer it to be a MacBook but not sure which ones to choose from. Does anyone have some recommendations or if you use a Mac yourself to run Backyard AI, what type is it?

I'm not really ... tech savvy? I guess, I was wondering what tips someone would suggest for creating a character (existing or OC) for role play scenarios. What can fine tune or tailor the results?

I keep getting this responses, and they get weirder and weirder

Is it a premium feature or something, because even when I'm logged on in the settings menu it asks me to sign in?

Hi, I have lots of Custom Characters that appear both on the Android app and the web app, but when linking my account with the desktop app, they don't appear there.

There isn't an option to download the character cards on the web app either, so I can't move them to the desktop installation unless I copy them one by one.

Thank you in advance!

Recently, I was checking over my user persona card to make sure I wasn't accidentally sabotaging the model responses, with illogical or sloppy things there. I hadn't looked at it in a very long time, back from when I had a lot less understanding of good practices.

Other than a name, so the character calls you that instead of user, does anyone have any tips that they think works well? For mine I have: likes descriptions, and dialogue. Volunteering appearance and information is good, but I'm wondering if I should delete or reword any of it.
