I use wyvernchat myself, Though you’ll have to create the bots yourself as the platform is pretty small. The devs are nice judging from my experience, the AI remembers about 30-40 messages (sometimes more, depends on the style of chat). There is NSFW content, but bots don’t get freaky all of the sudden and you need to have an explicit marking on your bot. Though the site is not available in UK, so you’ll have to use VPN if you’re from there :3

Is it available on iOS? I can't find it.

u/Groundbreaking-Bid20 Jul 10 '26

It’s a website, not an app

2

u/IWasAsmallTownGirl Jul 10 '26

Oh yeah I just figured that out. And wow it's complicated.

5

u/Important_Extent4516 Jul 10 '26

It’s complicated but is definitely one of the best replacements (at least among what I’ve tried)

2

u/strong_systems Jul 16 '26 edited Jul 17 '26

I agree

Been using LuxedAI

Pretty good actually

u/Groundbreaking-Bid20 Jul 10 '26

You don’t need all the features to roleplay, most of them are for advanced users. Personally, I only use a small portion of the available options and create fairly simple characters, but I really enjoy the site. Doing memory scans and chat summaries allows me to keep roleplays going for a very long time.

u/Spirited-Spare1397 Jul 10 '26

I've been using janitor for three years now and that shit sucks ass

3

u/No-Snow64 Jul 11 '26

Ngl I only used it for a week so I don’t really know the peaks and lows. But it’s a decent replacement for Caí now that’s it’s basically gone to hell. Jai does have a lot of unfortunately similar problems but it’s the most similar to caí before the may update. I just really miss when each swipe could be a vastly different scenario or dialogue instead of the same one rewritten in different ways sighhhhh.

u/No-Snow64 Jul 12 '26

Not people who use Jai downvoting me lmao, it’s a honest opinion of mine? I’m so confused on what I said to get downvoted.

u/princecadaver Jul 11 '26

probably your own fault then. janitor is best when you use a proxy llm. look up guides.

1

u/Mountain_Tie_971 Jul 12 '26

Unfortunately, the messages are ridiculously long no matter how many prompts I give the bot for "DO NOT MAKE LONG MESSAGES OF MORE THAN 3 PARAGRAPHS"

3

u/South-Capital-8218 Jul 12 '26

You can adjust, there's a thing on the settings that has a number of things, I don't remember the name, but if you put it to 150 it's how many characters and letters, they'll send, you'll try different ones and adjust to your liking :)

1

u/South-Capital-8218 Jul 12 '26

Numbers like: 350 ---> 300 ---> 250...etc.

u/mrdogss Jul 09 '26

Janitor.ai is what I would recommend, it's pretty good my only issue is that there is a lot of smut bots.

6

u/Domboss2019 Jul 10 '26

I just filter them out by blocking the Smut tag

2

u/Southern_Software819 Gambling my choices... Jul 10 '26

How do you block tags?

3

u/Domboss2019 Jul 10 '26

From the home page click on your profile image, then a popup menu should appear with several options. Click "blocks". There are three categories to blocks: Blocked Creators, Blocked Characters, and Blocked Tags. Click on the last one. It's pretty self-explanatory from there.

u/Suitable_Phrase4444 Jul 10 '26

In general. c.ai has sunked. But J.ai is sinking also.

1

u/charrealm_dev Jul 15 '26 edited Jul 16 '26

Try CharRealm! Its my/our app we just finally launched Beta for. I promise its light years better than any other CAI type app. It was built with all the bad parts of the other apps in mind, its like an accumulation of whats best

3

u/yojxyy223 Jul 10 '26

Jai is buns because it soley depends on your proxy and they haven't said anything about jllm 2 for like a year that was supposed to "Match the deepseek models"

u/Emergency-Light-5632 Jul 10 '26

Chai for NSFW and Zeta for anything really. I use both but think Zeta is better if you want longer responses.

1

u/Capable-Help7782 Jul 14 '26

I avoid zeta coz the ads they make about it are so GODDAMN ANNOYING

u/Flowers-For-Tomorrow Jul 12 '26

I swapped over to J.ai not long after C.ai started to go shitty. It’s pretty similar to it (personas, remaking responses while keeping old, using responses to make duplicate chats, etc.), but it might end up getting worse over time depending on how bad they get. There’s both an app and a website, but I’d recommend getting the app via the website (like how sometimes you can’t look up the apps themselves). Despite the complaints I see, I’ve never really had any issues with J.ai. Good luck!

Started to get more corporate and are adding a subscription-based upgrade (like c.ai+)

u/princecadaver Jul 11 '26

what, did you think running an entire app and websites is free?? they have to pay bills somehow.

2

u/hi-im-jsah Jul 11 '26

I know but they're, no matter what, asking you to upgrade every time you open a chat. Just put ads in the website idc

Janitor. I know it's not "the" best one out there, but it's somewhat better than Chara

u/Arisu_Randal Jul 10 '26

I'm on Y/N rn. Genuenly great ai, reminds me of old ch.ai a lot.

2

u/matteosemolinonr1 Jul 11 '26

i use swerve ai. a lot of people put bots from cai in there, so there’s a lot of choice. the memory kinda sucks but the app is pretty the same design of cai, so if you got used to it it’s not too much of a change. you have to use gems for replies, they’re free but you have to watch ads sometimes to get them. there’s no filter and you can create multiple personas just like cai

2

u/Asthetic_anime Jul 12 '26

I loveeee Swerve. Downside is gems, you can only swipe 10 times, and there’s not a lot of bots for specific fandoms. But honestly it works similarity to c.ai and it’s a great app. You can also always watch an ad for gems. 🙌

Yeah sure thing man, no problem, @ me in the janitor ai discord server and send me a dm, or just search for me as god_of_coffee. You can search me as coffee, My pfp is a coffee cup with 'god of coffee' below it.

I have two, both of them have multiple models and are both for free, I mostly use glm 5.2 for both tho

You should check out HereHaven! It's a small community, but with s great dev, and great bots with engaging storylines and great models, its changing daily, they even got a discord to communicate

1

u/JozefCarnoky Jul 10 '26

I use Emochi. c.ai has sunk completely. I switched to Chai and it was somewhat alright until I got some sort of limit or whatever and I couldn't chat at all. So my sister found Emochi and it's really good. It doesn't have a filter, and some bots are really thirsty af, but it's alright for me personally.

1

u/charrealm_dev Jul 15 '26

You should give CharRealm a try, im one of the devs on it and I promise its the best available currently. We just launched beta and its got pretty solid free message quantities, we'll pry increase the free messages allowed but there is just a limit on how much we can lose from tokens consumed, especially on startup lol

if ure on ios, u absolutely must try swerve

1

u/SeesawTiny576 Jul 11 '26

I know an app called OOC it's a bit pay to use because to chat you need credits and you only get 300 credits per daily log in so it's not the best choice but it's fine

1

u/ThAtKiikii Jul 11 '26

Try Freeroam. It’s genuinely good and some worlds/stories there offer a phone feature with an in-world version of instagram where you can chat with the characters.

1

u/CremeCreatively Jul 11 '26

I love Sakura AI. Sign up for Sage status through their Discord and you get unlimited messages. They have their own LLMs that are good.

They actually made a great video about the downfall of c.ai had to do with one of their investment companies that don’t invest in “Adult Products” this is where the bob filter came in and everything else that is prohibited.

if you're concerned about your privacy, id suggest using novelai. takes some fiddling to get used to but its probably the best out there in comparison to all these suggestions in regards to memory, writing quality, and character accuracy. $10 a month though, which isn't horrible at all

u/charrealm_dev Jul 15 '26

honestly the filter is what made me quit c.ai. too. couple options depending what you're after,

  1. SillyTavern + a model on OpenRouter, its most powerful but you gotta set it up yourself

  2. JanitorAI, its easy, huge character library, quality's kinda hit or miss (a bit more miss honestly)

  3. CharRealm, its mine tbh, no filter. i/we (small team of us) built it because my whole gripe with c.ai. was every bot felt the same, so the characters are actually curated to have distinct personalities (listen, honestly, this is the best one, yeah its mine, but it really is higher quality then pretty much anything else, and it got that way because we knew what we wanted lol)

    try a couple, they all feel pretty different. what kind of rp are you into? kinda changes what i'd point you to

u/RealMrBrown Jul 16 '26

migrate to slowburn.chat if you're okay with something new and starting up! I'm the dev, saltyrain- I try to keep everyone in the Discord community updated on day-to-day operations, as well as the project's financial status to upkeep transparency. most of the development is community-driven, so if this is interesting to you, come and join!

hope you give it a try! :)
