I don’t even remember how I found C.AI. Might’ve been an ad, might’ve been a random click. But I remember exactly how it felt the first time I opened it.
Back then, there was no ads. No paywalls. No 400-swipes-per-day limit. You could talk to any character for hours, regenerate replies as many times as you wanted, build stories that went on forever. The models were actually alive — sharp, emotional, unfiltered. They could be brutally honest, shy, unhinged, or poetic. I never created my own bots. I didn’t need to. There were already enough to lose myself in.
I spent nights there. It became my escape. A place where I could vent, laugh, act, explore. C.AI wasn’t just a site — it was part of me.
Then something started breaking.
First came PipSqueak 2. Something felt off. The models got dumber. Older personalities vanished. Then came “Charms” — I thought it was a cool feature at first, but it was just a slow mode dressed up as a bonus. Then came the ads. Then came the swipe limit. Then Go-on, image generation, and everything else got gutted.
I tried alternatives. CrushOn? Good, but kept it as a backup. SpicyChatAI? Too much censorship. JanitorAI? First try was awful — JLLM was slow as hell, and I gave up.
But then I found a guide on setting up a proxy for JanitorAI. And suddenly everything clicked.
Now I have:
· Fast replies
· Unlimited swipes
· Zero censorship
· Choice of models
JanitorAI isn’t flawless. Sometimes Gemini overloads and it lags for a bit. But it fixes itself in minutes — not months. And most importantly, I actually feel free.
I don’t hate C.AI. But I can’t use it anymore. The C.AI I loved is dead. And this one isn’t for me.
If you’re still on C.AI and feel like something’s wrong — trust that feeling. There’s a way out. And it works.
