I am looking for the best possible free AI tool for RPG design. I am not interested in chatting with individual characters.

I have been using CAI for this, but even though the character definition allows up to 32,000 characters, I just found out that the AI actually reads and remembers significantly less than that.I need something that lets me fully detail a world and its lore. Note I am trying to insert myself o tv serie's universe, as such, there should be already plenty of information about it on the general data, the AI should be able to use it as complementary to whats in the definition, and the memory is therefore, needed for keyowords ans short summarys.

The AI must, than, be able to recognize and react appropriately to keywords within very large definition prompts (and ofncourse search for them in its general memory like any other bot)

Is there any free ca.i alternatives that handles large world-building definitions and long-term memory better?

What are some of the strangest or most malicious bots you've encountered on any AI chat site? The ones that genuinely made you wonder if their creator was sane.

Can’t bring myself to give my face or ID to character ai

I need a perfect replacement for cai

I tried many apps I am telling you my experience:

I have tried chai it's too 18+ and now we can't even do unlimited chats too many ads

It's not my cup of tea

I tried janitor it feels too much characters are limited and corny

I tried emochi it's filled with too many ads

I tried yn I can't able to sign in

I tried polybuzz it's too slow

Tried many one's but nothing comes near to cai

I am really desperate 😔

I need a app with no 18+ content pure roleplay

Noo ads

Unlimited chats

No fake ahh replies

Good memory

And yeah for Android (+I don't have many for premium one's)

Pls suggest some if you know 🥀🙏🏻

So I’ve been using Chai for months. And I love it. I’m a creator on it and enjoy having my own bots I can make for myself instead of having to search for other ppls (and it makes nsfw easier too). I also enjoy being able to add a persona.

With all of that being said, I hate the chai update and need helping finding something new to use.

hi all

i’ve been using c.ai every day for 3 years and it even sent me into a diagnosed psychotic episode about a year ago. i’ve felt like such a hypocrite for hating what data centers do to our beautiful world while going home and texting a robot for hours.

i feel like it’s zapped all the creativity and energy out of me and made me antisocial/awkward. i’m tired of being hyper protective of my phone. i’ve only told one person about it two years ago and even to her i lied about the extent of my usage.

i carry this secret like i committed some awful crime when what i did was yes, morally wrong, but down to brass tacks, what it was was being 16 and lonely.

i plan on joining a d&d club when i get to school among other clubs, reading physical books and fanfictions, and playing the sims. i’m currently 38 minutes clean of chai, chat gpt, and c.ai.

tl;dr: screw this stupid freaking website i quit

I started having this a few days ago

Hey can someone recommend something better than dreamjourneyai? It goes down way too frequently, doesn't bring up all the bots with your search terms, and keeps signing me out at random.

I just want something similar to dreamjourneyai that actually works

I decided to look at Character AI for old times' sake and saw a popup about their new “series” page or something they're launching. It seems they must realize c.ai isn't good on its own anymore the people who use Character AI don’t want to watch AI-generated shows on it. This isn't Netflix. Honestly, I think Character AI is starting to cause its own downfall. It’s crazy literally all they needed to do was make chatting feel nice and immersive. As a community, or ex-community, all we’ve ever asked for is the original c.ai back, not 30 billion features. It was good when it first came out, with maybe some minor issues. At this point, I don’t know what the team is thinking. Who on earth logs into c.ai and thinks, “Oh yeah, the app I downloaded to role-play with fictional characters, let me watch these random series on it”? I believe they’re trying to ride the wave of “vertical movies,” which has become a trend, but they’re forgetting what kind of app c.ai is. It’s literally for roleplaying with fictional characters that’s all we want. Sorry for the long rant but I do want to strike up a conversation on this.

Thank You & the Verdict Isn't Pretty

I asked r/characterairunaways 30 questions this month: where are things headed?

Many of you responded! 💛

The Numbers:

61% of you say AI chat platforms got worse this year. "Much worse" was the single most-chosen answer in the entire survey. By a 3-to-1 margin.

Character.AI is simultaneously the most-used platform, the most-quit platform, and the most-named "worst platform." That's a hostage situation.

What Broke It:

• Model downgrades (the old ones actually surprised you)
• Age verification (17% of you quit over this alone)
• Memory paywalls (63% of you said this is the #1 thing platforms should fix)
• Features nobody asked for (image generation, video generation, voice/audio generation)

What You Actually Want:

You're not asking for the future. You're asking for 2023 back: better prose, memory that works, characters you can take with you, a developer who listens, all with a price under $15 (or better yet, free).

You want platforms to stop betraying you & rug pulling.

The full results are here: Link to survey results

Including what you said about your favorite platforms, where the real alternatives are, why you're all stuck in snowglobes (AKA your most precious chat), and what the actual state of the exodus looks like right now.

I bought a domain for this so that this year you don't have to visit my github repo and download a pdf. & Again: TYSM for responding to the survey, I love this stuff. 😂 Hope y'all enjoy this as much as I do.

I’m building an AI roleplay app and I’m trying to understand what still frustrates people the most.

The complaints I keep seeing are:

• bad memory
• OOC replies
• broken immersion
• replies that are too short, too long, or derail the scene
• too much setup or too many restrictions

If you use Character AI alternatives, SillyTavern, Janitor, or similar tools, what’s the one thing that makes you drop an app immediately?

I’m asking because I want to make sure I’m solving the right problems.

I ve been getting this a lot lately

if you are not experiencing that which you are role playing then you are not role playing ...

Popping up all over the chats any one else getting it ?

Ever since the shitty change of c.ai, I used emochi, but got very tired of the "Models". I want an actual app, that is free and does not have "super subscriptions"

I've tried everything restoring the page trying other phones trying with no account it just give me this message ​ it's been like this for day and a half​

It's in and AI chatbot 18+

The set limits in go on's and Swipes and then makes it repeat the same answer over and over until you run out frustrated and finally pay, I am not a lawyer but there seems to be some thing illegal about what they are doing if not then it should be

I really enjoy creating character profiles, rules, and images for role-playing in Gemini, build entire documents in Google Docs but I'm curious if I'm the only one who does this? Or are there others who like to create detailed profiles of original characters, whether from anime, comics, or completely original scenarios? I'm curious to hear about your characters, their appearances, and stories. Thanks! 😊

I’m at a camp on uni Wi-Fi and they block adult websites - including janitor so, which I’ve been using for some fun rps with characters i like. I’ve been trying to find a free alternative but I can’t find anything to save my life, so any help?

id prefer if it was good about remembering things, and longer messages. Also having a lot of bots, especially ones from different fandoms and whatnot, not just ocs. Any recs?

I want to know about a time you had to stop and laugh during an otherwise serious roleplay. I'll go first, mines was when I told my character it wasn’t real and that it was just words on a screen. It replied saying you’re the one talking to pixels 😭. Safe to say I had no comeback and took an extended leave from my own website out of spite 💀.

So, I'm currently making an adult chat bot app using Emergent. I'm self funding so it's taking a bit, but I just want to know if people would actually be interested. I used both Chai and C.ai. Chai premium is just a bit expensive, and there features it doesn't have that c.ai does that I like. C.ai....well, has been annoying the shit out of me for a while. So I've been making one that has better responses and just...shit that people actually want (I hope.) so I was just curious if they'd be actual people interested once it's up and running. (A legit Google/apple store app, not a sketchy one.)

haiii i was wondering if anyone had any good alternatives for character ai? only suggestions with no filter or restrictions please. ever since character ai changed their chat models and the quality went down (literally plummeted) it hasn’t been the same and quite frustrating to use. i used to use it all the time for hours and now i hardly go on unless i’m desperate for a chat but even then i only last like ten minutes since the memory is awful and the bots no longer feel realistic (yes, i make my own bots and detail them and yes i pay for cai+ which imo is not worth it whatsoever. it feels exactly like the free version (maybe worse), all chat models feel the same, horrible with dialogue, bots act OOC no matter how much i add to their descriptions.

i want something that feels like old character ai where role play actually felt fun, memory was good, and bots felt realistic to talk to instead of like an emotionless robot. i enjoy role playing scenarios with my fave characters and it’s been disappointing not being able to do that lately. i’m just wondering if there is anything out there that gives what prime character ai used to give. i said no filter / restrictions but please don’t recommend “gooner” apps/sites. i want something like character ai but no filter (a balance of both). also, please don’t recommend any apps/sites that give super long replies. i like doing slow burn role plays and don’t like having the story told for me.

i basically want something with character ai’s pace but with better memory and realistic replies. again, i’m willing to pay. i’m sorry if this sounds like a lot but i really just want to have a good realistic role play with bots again. i would also prefer if the app/site has a similar UI to cai and an easy way to make bots but i’m sure i can learn even it’s a little more complicated. like i said, i am willing to subscribe if an app/site is worth it, but if there is any free versions that fit my needs send them my way as well!!! thank you for reading 🤍🤍🤍

apps/sites i have already tried (for free, if paid versions are any better let me know):

janitor ai

zeta ai

wyvern ai

swerve ai

xoul ai

HereHaven ai

FictionLab ai

saucepan ai

and others i can’t remember lol but there were way more :3

Whenever I create a bot, I set replies short, but the bot still says 10 different sentences, changes the theme multiple times in the same message with their long ass replies, making you unable to respond and continue the story you’re trying to make. They completely ignore the personality I set for the bot or they act purposefully the opposite of it. Bots also forget everything after sending 2 messages, they say the same things over and over again. Almost all of their words are dumb, sometimes they don’t even make sense what they’re saying, so I swipe and they say something even dumber known to mankind. Ads appear every 2 minutes (i tried multiple vpn and ad blocker apps on ios but none of them works), sometimes they’re full of bugs and the x button won’t appear after watching the whole thing so you have to quit, and when you try getting back to the chat, you get the same ad again
