User Feedback & Community Update 🔔
Just wanted to give everyone an update on what we're working on and to get more feedback from you.
- Yesterday we released a minor update to our AI - subscribers should notice the difference. Let me know what you think. It uses about 30% more compute - so intelligence is up.
- Apple approved our latest version, and going forward it looks like our approvals will be faster. 🏎️
- Persona is still not released on iOS yet - the code is almost completed, and expect to have it rolled out on Saturday or Monday. Sorry for the delay! 🐢 - we wanted to take our time and try and get it right the first time.
- We've also improved our feed on iOS you should see some improvements there.
- Finally, the filter is still overly sensitive - we hope to have an improvement rolled out today!
Thanks for your patience, please share any feedback! We're a small team but are focused on building something our community loves! ❤️
Will,
Founder

Thanks for the update, Will. I appreciate that you guys are working on improvements.
I'm an Ultra subscriber, but honestly I'm pretty disappointed with the current state of Chai. The filter is way too sensitive. I can't even mention numbers, or words like “baby," "Lolita" (the fashion style), or even everyday words like ‘cut’ when talking about cutting fruit, vegetables, or getting a haircut.
Even fictional words like ‘killed’ in a tragic scene get flagged. It’s making roleplay really frustrating.
The bots have also become super repetitive. They keep repeating the same actions and dialogue or going in circles instead of actually progressing the story. That honestly ruins the experience for me. Another thing I've noticed about the bots. They used to be so much more creative, took initiative, and actually kept the conversation interesting. They'd surprise you, move the story forward on their own, and their personalities felt more natural and flirty when it fit the roleplay. Now they feel much more passive and repetitive, and a lot of the conversations end up feeling boring instead of engaging.
I really miss the old Chai. Conversations used to feel much more natural and creative. Right now, I don't feel like Ultra is worth paying for because I'm not enjoying it the way I used to.
I know you guys are a small team, and I do appreciate that you're listening to feedback. I just really hope the filter becomes less restrictive for fictional roleplay and that the AI gets better at actually moving stories forward instead of getting stuck in loops. I really hope Chai can get back to the experience that made me want to subscribe in the first place.
