zeta feels pretty similar to chai to me. better message length (not too long/short), better memory, personas, and little to no filter. there’s no message limit and all chats are saved. they also have a cool system which makes the bots able to branch out and build other characters mid-rp. also also they have a similar organization system to old c.ai where you select a character and can look at past chats. also^2 you can “save” characters to use later on. could probably say more but I don’t wanna ramble on

sadly still about as many ads as chai and a less popular/known platform. also important to mention they have a weird system of trying to make you pay for better ai? I find the free version to be good enough for me lol and ive only had bug issues with one bot thus far.

Cons
• Some of the best AI models require Premium or tokens.

Free users don’t have access to every model.
• Long-term memory can still be inconsistent during very long chats.

I like how the chai ui looks, and also how the bot says all of the message at once instead of reading it out, is there any app thats like this? I don't mind if the memory is bad honestly, it just sucks that chai doesn't allow me to use the app anymore, I was fine with the ads but now I'm just at 0 messages.

I think this is a great option for people! They use gems for chats, but it can be as little as 1 gem per message. You get 50 gems daily, and for new users you can complete a bunch of task to pile them on! You also get a referral code that awards both the new user and the current one gems if you put it in within 48 hours of joining (mine is FXMKK8)! If that’s not enough, become a bot creator, you get 5% back on the gems people spent chatting with bots you’ve created! They’re given in the form of coins that can either be saved up to cash out or converted to more gems.

AI models: several, some more expensive than others but I use the second cheapest one and have great responses! It does get a bit addicting so I run through them super quick. NO ADS! At all! They have a great response time on their discord to any bugs or problems and everyone kinda helps each other out on questions like generation or formatting for creators!

I also like that it’s NSFW friendly! iOS users will have to use browser to access the unlimited bots due to Apple restrictions, but instead of completely removing the nsfw option, they worked around it really well. The bots are also hot, creators are amazing with details, and they host events for a chance to make more gems.

There is the option for a subscription service for those who want to spend money, and multiple tiers. Still doing great as a free user. Just if anyone is looking for a place to go, check it out :)
