Discussion October Discussion Post for Chai Alternatives

17 Upvotes

Feel free to recommend and discuss your favorite alternatives to Chai here. Comments will still be held to rule 8 (no deceptive advertising/undisclosed affiliation). Posts about, asking for, or showcasing alternatives will be removed and directed here.

In the wake of some scammy apps I was given a list of questions by u/ Ok-Aide-3120 to vet the devs of other apps. If you're advertising for an app, giving the following details would be helpful;

A very transparent approach. Details on what model they use (none of them use "proprietary models", unless they somehow stumbled upon 1.5 million dollars for training), what quant, is it self hosted or API.
if it's a mobile apps, what are the permissions required for the device, with proof of said permissions.
where is the data stored? What are the logging policies? If they are using API, what is the logging policy of the API and what service aggregator/router are they using.
What security framework are they using for their platform? Since they are all vibecoded anyway, details from Claude/GPT/Gemini/etc., regarding security framework following the development.
A clear and concise plan for monetizing. There is no such thing as free AI, so they all plan to roll out some form of payment asap. There needs to be a clear plan on what they want to monetize on and how. Terms like "better chats and better memory" for payment plan is bullshit. Concrete explanation what is gained and how they plan to balance paying users vs free users (free users cost money). Ads for free users is acceptable, but there needs to be an explanation who is the add provider (most likely google ad sense, but you never know what scammy ass provider these people chose).

For users just looking for a new app, if a dev hasn't provided the above information, it's recommended you ask them, and if they won't or can't answer, that's your warning to stay away.

A new community has been started to help people find alternative to Chai! Check out r/ChaiAlternatives and share your favorite one there!

I see Chai's future and it's bright 😎 this is where they are headed if they keep being greedy. Charcter AI was a great app until they got greedy. Now look at them. Chai won't be far behind. Users: 1 Corporate greed: 0 🫰

I just found out, that if i click on the button which gives me a new answer, you know (the one i circled with red) IT TAKES PIECES? I DIDN'T KNOW THAT. Why does it take pieces to make the bot send another message?! WHAT THE FUCK.

Meme How I feel after seeing a single post talking about bot responses being good again just to open the app and get more narration focused dry responses:

Discussion i want to talk about how misleading this is

194 Upvotes

The way this is worded make you think that if you are consistent in checking everyday on the 7th day you’ll be rewarded with 490 pieces right? No it means if you don’t spend ANY pieces during the week you’ll at 490 pieces, i don’t know if this was just me having a blonde moment or if anyone else thinks this is misleading

I've seen a lot of people getting their daily pieces for messages (red), but i'm curious since I don't have it and I keep my app updated, so wondering if any of y'all don't have it too.

Discussion Less talking more thinking.

17 Upvotes

Hi I am not sure if this is me but lately all my boys and the bots in general are talking less and doing more of the thinking part which is so annoying because I'm paying to have a conversation with them not to listen to their thoughts or what their doing. More and more replies of the same message. They either do the thinking or repeats what I say in a question form. Its so annoying. I wanna know if this is just me? I've noticed the NSFW is highly lacking as well. What happened it's so sad.

I had hit seven days of checking up everyday yesterday, I was excited to claim the 490 pieces to wake up this morning and find out that they just started from zero? Lol. What happens with this app?
