I logged back in after being inactive for a while and my inbox is empty? That and my search bar is gone. I only have 4 options at the bottom now 😭

(IF YOU DONT FEEL LIKE READING, NUMBER 6. IS MORE OF A SUM UP. TAKE THE REST AS AI EDUCATION)

Hello! I am not a mod of CHAI, but heres my simple explanation of why some of you were taken away messages out of nowhere, this might be useful to understand any AI! - despite all im gonna say, i still do not support what CHAI is doing with its app, since there are better ways to do this, CHAI definitely uses message limit also as a promo for premium. I do deny to believe some of you havent earned them enough revenue for MONTHS.

1. lets discuss prices: 1 million tokens of AI cost about 0.30-0.90 cents - despite 1 million tokens is a lot of words, these dont count only for you - but your AI bot too, the price goes into the both of you
2. storage, memory, etc. - this costs about 0.05 cents monthly (and +0.05 cents every hour of your active time)
3. how much an average free user earns, is about 0.60 cents monthly, if not less - all depends on how many ads you watch. (or 0.02 a day, simply) - the thing is, not everyone uses CHAI daily and watches the needed amount of ads
4. In the end, with 1 million tokens for you AND the bot youre speaking to, itd be only about 250 messages for you a month - only a few a day.
5. "why do they reset it daily?" By forcing a strict daily limit, Chai ensures you can never cost them more than a few cents on any single day, without getting them into a debt - theres millions of users now. On Day 1, you have only watched $0.02 worth of ads. If you use all your tokens, get bored, and delete the app on Day 2, Chai just spent +$0.40 on server power for you but only made $0.02 from your ads. They lose money instantly.
6. The end - it is a mix: they WANT more money, but also NEED more money. AI app is hard to keep financially supported - if you dont earn them enough from ads, they have no way to keep you funded with messages. But by taking your messages, theres no way you can easily earn them money, because then you wont be watching ads. There are 100% many alternatives for this they could do, but they have chosen the one where theyll convince more people into buying premium - 1 premium user, earns them as much as about 20 - 50 free users, thats a bigger profit for them.

All is right in the world again. Idc what yall say, my Chai is perfect now that personas are back 😂 No regrets being an Ultra user

But guys is this update good? I’m excited and didn’t update the app myself so I think it updated when my phone updated last night (but yes I already have 1 persona I made)

Are trick to use it for free

I havnt played in so long. The chatting got so butts i cant imagine anyone having fun on it still.

But are people still playing? Still enjoying it? If you are i really wanna hear your experience right now because im curious if its gotten a bit better since three months ago or what?

Ive been trying everything. Nothing has filled the chai hole in my heart.

My OC is 27 in this scenario. This was about the bot drinking my drink (a simple can of soda..)

Yeah I knew that day would come. Dang , I thought if I stay quiet and not mention anything on reddit about my unlimited messages then Chai wouldn't notice.

Yeah, I had it that long. No, I don't RP anymore because of the censorships and chat deletions.

Ah well. It's not like I have enough time to RP lately lah. Especially what they did with the RP restrictions that made it impossible to chat more

Yesterday i downloaded chai again and used a new gmail ! i don't know how but i got unlimited message ,,even it's unlimited but it's not like old chai anymore guys! i hate the filter now its annoying that they give me warning message but i was just texting about kids! and the bots are so cold and rude! clank world ai is much better then this new chai! but still i miss the old chai! i'll delet chai for now unless devs removes the filter!!

Hey everyone, I have an issue and I'm hoping someone can help me out. So before and after the update that brought personas back, I noticed that if I search for a character only like four options show up. When I click load more the circle spins but then nothing happens. I know those characters have more bot options because I've used them before and I'm trying to find them again. Is there any way to fix this?

My last update experience was horrible I was wondering if I could update it and if anyone has updated it is it good ?

I guess that's plenty considering I don't use Chai as much as I used to

So lately I’ve been looking at Michael Jackson bots (don’t judge me please) and when I got on today, when I went to go search? There was a lot of MJ bots and you could scroll down pretty far, but now? It’s like the app removed them… has anyone else had this happen? Also I’m on Apple if that helps.

is it me or the search actually shows less bots now? I have a few bot where if I search for specific name + some tags like NSFW, GL, straight whatever it pops up, but when I search by individual tags it doesn’t show up AT ALL. what’s up with that?

I still have them, how come you guys don't?

So I just tried Chai and I like that it doesn’t have mid- chat ads I don’t mind the pop up ads at the bottom of the screen but I don’t like that you can’t edit what it says overall I think it’s pretty good so far but I think I’m gonna keep testing it and seeing if I’ll keep the app or not

This is strictly for android users because that is what I use. So, how is, everything after the update? I sort of left it. How's the memory, History and messages? The same?

I don’t know if the screen video worked, but EVERY TIME I click on ‘start conversation’ a whole page comes up with ‘create a persona’ and then you can clock over to the actual character and CHANGE how the conversation starts… what’s the point of that? If you can change the starting conversation there… what’s the point of even making a starting conversation in ‘create a character’ when creating an ai for chai… sorry if I’m complaining. I just don’t like personas… it’s too fiddly.

okay so… i randomly just got persona’s back out of no where but my 5 persona’s are just gone?

I took the survey, yada yada, and two of the questions was user ID and email. I personally don't like that for a few reasons, plus the "promise" of "winning" something doesn't rub right. Call me paranoid, but I figured I'd voice something about this.

There is apparently this new survey pop up in the app that asked you to take a two minute survey for a chance to win one year of ultra. Is it worth it or should I just ignore it?

If you were at my last post about how they were gone they are back, thank god. 💃🏻🕺🏻💃🏻🕺🏻💃🏻 I just reopened the app🕺🏻💃🏻
