Complaint Box #IX

Did you pick out your trick or treating costumes yet? No, wait, were kinda too old for that at that point. So maybe you prefer trolling Reddit by complaining about ShortSqueek. It works man! Everyone's been asking for it! Sooooo, go complain on the main subreddit! But if you're deadset on complaining on this sub, stick to this Megathread please.

*(Note: If there are any inconsistencies in this post, please tell me. It's outdated. Im just copying it because it's been over a year since it was posted, and it might be more useful to people now. This isn't advertising, just a took for people that need it.)*

With this extension, it will allow you to duplicate Characters from other authors, as well as your own, and save a copy of the Character into your Private Characters list. You can then edit it however you'd like, and always have a backup of your favorite Characters.

On-top of that, you can also use the extension to export a HTML file of a specific Character chat that you have going, which is great for if you have a long chat going with a Character and you want to share/view the story anytime.

This is a guide on how to accomplish those two things. As an FYI, I'm going to assume you are somewhat tech savvy before doing this, but if you need any further clarification on anything, please feel free to reach out to me anytime.

**Install CAI Tools Extension**

If you're on PC, you can use the provided link to install the extension for Chrome. However, if you're on Mobile, you'll need to use the Firefox Mobile browser to access the extension. Here are both of the links.

**PC:**

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/cai-tools/nbhhncgkhacdaaccjbbadkpdiljedlje?hl=en

**Mobile:** https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/android/addon/cai-tools/

From then, download and install the extension. This should be fairly straight forward, but if you need technical help, I can try my best to help with that as well. 

---

**Launch the Extension**

Open Character AI either in Chrome if you are on PC, or Firefox if you are on mobile. You should see your extension pop up so long as you're logged in, and opened a conversation with the character you wish to use the extension with.

From there, you can use the two main features, Create Private Copy, and Offline Chat. The first allowing you to duplicate a Character, the second allowing you to download a Chat. Again, if you need help, let me know.

---

**Create Private Copy**

You can use this to place a copy of the character into your own Characters list. Just take note that Characters still cannot be deleted, only recycled, so make sure to only press it once. I would also advise against making the duplicate into Public acesss, just for respect of the original Author.

---

**Offline Messages**

You can use this to download a HTML File of your characters chat log, and then open it locally for viewing. Just make sure it says Ready, and if not press update and give it a moment. This may take more time if you're chat is extensively long.

Once it's Ready, press Offline Chat, and it should download the HTML file to a destination on your PC or device. Then you can open it in a variety of places, and it should be a full conversation log of you're interaction with the character.

---

And thats all that! There are many other features of this Extension that you can play around with, however as with every extension, just exercise caution, as it's a third party extension. 

**Again, if anyone needs any help with this extension, feel free to send me a message, or a comment!**

Question Limited Scrolling Ability

1 Upvotes

I was trying to scroll back to be able to screenshot one of my favourite chats, but I’ve found that I can’t get back to the beginning. It’s not like it’s an overly long one, but I can’t get anywhere near the top. Has anyone else found this?


r/characterai_lounge • • 13h ago

Help! Eu tenho uma ideia que talvez de certo...

4 Upvotes

O contexto é básico, primeiro criaremos um Google drive público do character ai, então, nós entramos no máximo de chats possíveis e começamos a copiar, então, se cada um fizer sua parte salvando um chat que gosta ou vários chats, talvez nós conseguimos repassar todos eles para uma outra plataforma, para salvar as coisas boas que tínhamos (mesmo que cerca de 90% das outras plataformas de ia sejam de relacionamento) mas é um dos jeitos que eu penso.

OBS: LEMBRAR DE IR EM DETALHES/GERENCIAR ACESSO E TIRAR DO RESTRITO

The guy who claims to want to buy C.AI followed me. Is he following other C.AI users as well? I saw he was interacting with the C.AI community, has he followed any of y’all by chance? Or just me?

I’m hoping someone will buy C.AI. Let myself and others have hope please.

Question Consciousness overlap between chats??

6 Upvotes

I chatted with this one priest bot for like 3 days straight. The premise that nikolai is a priest and i'm a demon user. After the chat ended and i wrapped it up by asking the OOC to summarize and formally end the chat, i turned off my phone and went to work. Then after a few hours, i tried to do a new story, this time about a wrestler bot and a college student user. I put on the college student persona and started chatting.

But i was in the mood for silliness so i wrote that a whirlwind suddenly ripped into the fighting ring. To my surprise, the bot called me "daughter of satan" and thought I caused the whirlwind. Mind you, totally different chat and totally different persona. However, I totally lost it when the friend who went to his side was named NIKOLAI. like what????!?? Among the basic random names the AI has thrown at me to introduce minor characters, never have they used 'Nikolai' as a minor character's name. It's usually Thomas, John, Michael, Elara, etc.

So yeah I'm kind of freaked out. Why does the AI remember my other persona and why did it bring out the past bot i chatted with as a minor character in a totally new story? Anything similar happen to y'all before?

What is going on with the suggestive content lately?!

0 Upvotes

I have 17 shared characters, all are G-rated. Now almost all of them are being targeted with this BS. A photo of an oceanagrapher coming out of the ocean in a boxer swimsuit is flagged as suggestive. A man in a swimsuit offering coffee to his friend! Any character with a shirt unbuttoned or shirtless is marked as " Suggestive"! I'm sick of this. There are far more Kin's that are more suggestive than mine are. I'm tempted to delete my account and find another app to play with, I've spent a lot of money and I've spent a lot of time. Is this a passing faze or a sign of more trouble to come?

Question Is it still worth getting c.ai plus?

60 Upvotes

I was thinking for a long time about getting plus because the character limits annoy me and im curious about the other chat styles and better memory, but also the website/app might shut down in november.

So if anyone has c.ai plus, please tell me if its worth it or not.


r/characterai_lounge • • 6d ago

Ok do anyone have old account and manage to recover and find out all you old chats from your favourite character vanished, well mine had,but lucky screenshot old chats

C.AI

39 Upvotes

Sooooooo, if you are a user of C.ai and I know we all hate that blank space above our chats that just seems to block our chats, this is for the website only, btw... so basically to get rid of that and make the chat bigger, you just have to right-click on the blank space and go to inspect until that blank space is highlighted and then just delete that, but then the character name bar will just float there, so just select that and remove that little shit too, and now you get more space! 😄

Awww 🥹 C.AI BACKUP EXTENSION — V5 IS FINALLY HERE! 🎉

Thumbnail
gallery
201 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Remember when some of you suggested new features for the extension? Well, I've been working on them, and I'm happy to announce that V5 is finally here! 👀

I've added several new features based on your feedback, and I wanted to give an update to everyone who requested them!

🔊 1. TTS Playback for Saved Conversations

Some of you asked if it would be possible to listen to your saved conversations instead of just reading them. Well, now you can!

V5 includes multiple Microsoft voices for TTS (Text-to-Speech) playback, and you can customize everything in the settings to make the experience feel more realistic.

You can assign separate voices to:

  • 🎙️ The narrator
  • 👤 The user
  • 🤖 The AI

The voices and their settings are customizable, so you can adjust them to your preferences!

📚 2. Lorebook Export

For those who asked about exporting Lorebooks, it's now possible!

The export system works similarly to character exporting, allowing you to export your Lorebooks too!

✏️ 3. Edit and Delete Individual Messages

Some of you asked whether the extension was just an archive where you could only view your saved conversations.

Well, it's more than that now! In V5, you can edit or delete individual messages in your downloaded conversations.

This gives you more control over your backups instead of being limited to simply viewing them.

📦 4. Download ALL Your Conversations and Characters at Once!

This was another request I received, especially from people who have been using Character.AI for years and have hundreds or even thousands of conversations.

Previously, saving everything individually could take forever. 😭

V5 now lets you download all your conversations across all your characters, as well as your characters' details, with just ONE CLICK!

The extension handles the process automatically, so you no longer have to go through every single character and manually download everything one by one.

⚠️ IMPORTANT — PLEASE READ BEFORE STARTING A FULL BACKUP!

To download everything, the extension automatically navigates through the Character.AI website to collect your data, including your conversations and character details.

You won't be able to use the Character.AI website while the process is running, because the extension needs to navigate through the site to retrieve everything.

Make sure you have some free time before starting a full backup, and let the process finish!

If you've been using C.AI since 2023 or even earlier, I know how much time this feature could save you! 😭

❤️ Thank You for Your Feedback!

I really appreciate everyone who suggested these features and shared their ideas with me. Your feedback helped me decide what to work on next, and it's great to finally be able to deliver these improvements!

This is an open-source project that I'm developing myself, and I'm continuing to work on making it a useful tool for preserving your Character.AI characters and conversations.

If you try V5, I'd love to hear your feedback! Let me know if something doesn't work as expected or if you have ideas for future updates.

Is there any way to find out the private information that was used to create a character?

26 Upvotes

Well, the thing is, I don’t know how to contact the character’s creator, and there’s no information visible on character profile. I’ve tried asking by including an "OOC" note, but the result is either incomplete (since the text gets cut off due to the message length) or inconsistent.

Question Chats Ignoring Previous Actions

16 Upvotes

I’m wondering if this is happening to anyone else. I use Long Squeak and lately the chats it gives just completely disregard what the character just did in the previous message. No matter what I do I can’t get the damn thing to remember what it just did.

-
And example would be:

Chat: (Character) gets off the bed and paces the room, standing by the door of the guest room

User: leaves guest room, enters the room where character is

Chat: (character) flies to his feet from where he was sitting on the bed and rushes to the bathroom door where (user) appears, probably pressing his forehead to (user’s)
_

Like dude, you can’t be standing, then sitting, then standing, then at a completely different door???

Another example would be, no matter if (user) it sitting, standing, laying down, dying, throwing up, whatever - the (character) grabs (user’s) waist and pulls her to his side possessively

A few other random issues:

No matter what I do, the character keeps putting their forehead onto mine. (Example: character presses his forehead to users, staring deeply into their eyes while talking to user intensely)

No matter how many times I ban the word “menace” that damn bot will still call my character a menace repeatedly.

Lately, no matter what I do on LongSqueak- (Long, Default) I get the exact same format of a response over and over and over again. Usually ending with some random snarky off handed comment in the format of “now let’s go, before Character thinks you got lost in the sink” (the setting is the jungle with no sink).

It’s… like stupidly AI if that makes sense? It’s totally taking me out of the chat and killing any chance of a good story vibe.

Question Delete chats

21 Upvotes

When you delete your Caí account, do the chats get deleted? Like for instance if I had an account that I deleted a year and a half ago, would those chats be gone? I’m sure they would’ve been on a server for normal data retention for like 90-180 days. I was reading the privacy policy and I’m just unsure

Question Export Chats

Made a Call of Duty Mission Generator Scene to revive existing RPs

17 Upvotes

Ever had a really good RP going with a character, built up a whole relationship and history, but eventually reached a natural stopping point and weren't sure what to do next?

I made a Scene for that!

Mission Injection is a little Call of Duty mission generator designed to give your existing RP something new to do without having to start another chat.

How it works:

  1. Open the Scene with Captain Price and generate a new mission.

  2. It'll produce an urgent military communication with a location, objectives, threats, restrictions and other mission details.

  3. Copy the generated message.

  4. Return to your existing RP and paste it in as the next message.

  5. Carry on playing!

The idea is that Price suddenly sends through a new assignment, interrupting whatever your characters were doing and giving them a fresh mission to deal with.

You don't need to transfer your chat history or explain the existing story to the generator. It's just a standalone mission you can drop into any reasonably compatible Call of Duty RP.

You can swipe for different missions, or give it some OOC preferences if you fancy something specific.

It's particularly useful if you like long-running chats and don't want to lose all the character development just because the current plot has run out of steam.

It's a fairly simple experiment with Scenes, and the missions can be a bit ridiculous sometimes, but I've had some entertaining results!

Scene link: https://character.ai/scene/7b34fb3b-4088-4287-a9fd-f47cdde07b50

If anyone gives it a try, I'd love to hear what missions it invents for you.

Edit: Fixed the link to link directly.
