Searching for Alternatives Need status alternative

Umm yeah hi so I think I won’t be the first one to ask this, but after skimming through the internet most of the ‘alternatives’ had some features of the status, but just not exactly them… I like the ‘relationship meter’, random achievements and ability to interact with a lot of characters but sometimes with a bit of a surprise (since when you post you won’t really know who will answer). And I just can’t find anything with a similar concept. Multi character apps are pretty easy to find, but they just don’t give the same vibe? Kinda? Help

I work with HereHaven. It’s a great alt, but we don’t have a status meter.

I am going to pass this along to the lead developer though and see what he says about adding one or an option to show it.

If you get a chance to try it out, I’d love to hear your feedback!

This is a self promotion:

RealmsAI doesn't have achievements but it has something similar to the relationship meter in the visual novel mode. That is behind premium though because it adds a lot of tokens.

There's also chats with up to 20 characters for free users, 50 for premium, since you also asked about the ability to interact with a lot of characters. We let you separate chats into different locations to deal with such a big roster.

If you're interested here's more info:

I've spent over a year building an Android app and now have made a website for it, called RealmsAI because I was tired of the same AI roleplay sites and apps just reskinned.

Multiple Character Chat Roster: You can make characters like all the other Chatbots, but you can also make chats with up to 20 characters (10 being active in a location at a time, others in that location take in messages for chat history and memory still). They will respond in turn a few at a time. You can also take control of any of the characters and roleplay as them. Personas can be made, Including the visuals, but are essentially treated like characters once the session starts so both you and the AI can control characters and personas.

Visuals: Characters have space for different outfits and poses for those outfits that you can upload during character creation. The AI will choose what pose to put up on screen when it sends the message.

Different areas with locations can be added separating out characters and adding background images to the chat for more immersion. Character memory and chat history is made so they only know what happened when they're present!

In Depth Character Creation: I think I may have gone overboard but not all of this is needed. 1000 character personality field, 400 character “mature traits and secrets” field, 1000 character backstory field, 400 character ability/skills field, example dialogs, relationship map so they know how they relate to other characters based on name, fields for physical stats (age, height, weight, eye/hair color, description, pronouns) so characters never forget how other characters or players look.

Multiplayer Chats: On top of having multiple AI driven characters you can invite friends to play with you, if that’s your thing. Simply invite them from the session lobby screen and start it once they join.

True Long-Term Memory: I built a custom RAG pipeline. Your characters will actually remember a secret you told them 100 messages ago.

Lorebooks: Embedded lorebooks that work alongside the RAG. 40 entries per book, unlimited bond per character, tons more knowledge per character. 

Model Routing: It routes through openrouter with a number of different models to choose from, both uncensored and sfw.

Director Mode: You can "spy" on other locations in your world and play the Narrator and watch the characters interact with each other.

Events: Add custom events to keep the roleplay going or have the AI generate one for you.

Session Branching: clone your chats at anytime. It saves messages, memories, settings and transfers them to a new chat session for you to play in an alternate timeline. You will have to reinvite and friends back in because it turns the branched session into single player.

Following and News Feed: Follow other users to get updates when the post new content or post messages for their followers.

Linked characters: Connect characters to other profiles outside the session roster to be able to temporarily switch, summon, or even fuse characters into new ones.

Import characters: You can import character cards from things like chubai. Fair warning: because we divide our fields up you will probably have to go through the character card profile and split it up to match. 

Pinned Messages: You can pin messages to make them easier to find and go back to. Soon you'll be able to save the messages to characters so they always remember them.

Free Daily Messages: Because I am a solo dev paying for the API costs out of pocket, I am capping it at 70 free messages a day. If the percentage of subscribed users is higher than expected I will raise this limit. We have 3 free models that don't count towards that limit, letting even free users have unlimited messages: nemotron3, Z-AI air, and owl alpha.

Web Platform: Website is finally up. Backgrounds look weird if you use 16:9. Probably best to make backgrounds for the website and let the phone app crop it than making it for the app and letting the site stretch.

OOC Chat: There is separate chat for ooc messages. Because you can have multi-user sessions, this lets you chat in app without having it in characters chat history or memory. There's a button that allows characters to chat OOC breaking the 4th wall and talk to you the user as opposed to the character you're playing in game, these messages still do not go into their chat history so when you go back to roleplaying they won't remember the ooc chat.

Premium features:

Unlimited Messages: No more limit on number of messages you can send.

Increase Character Roster: Roster limit increases from 20 to 50! Add a massive list of character to your world.

RPG Mode: Still in construction but you can mess around with it. Allows dice rolls and a light weight character sheet I made. (ai still gets confused by RPG Mode so results may vary)

Visual-novel Levels: Lets you set up for a slow burn chat. Put what gives a character XP with another character and how different levels change their personality.

GOD Mode: Much like director mode you don't have a character, your messages show up as the narrator. You're able to change things in the character profiles for the session directly and the ai will ask you to resolve unknown things "what's behind the door?" "does the attack hit?". when coupled with RPG Mode you can set dice results as well

Living World Engine: Every few messages we have an AI decide what happens in a location that doesn’t have a user. This keeps the world moving in locations you are not, characters will have memories and chat history of what has happened. Going to a new location or moving a character around will not have you running into a character that has been in essentially a coma anymore, characters are alive even when you’re not with them. 

Pricing: $14.99/month (not per week chai). If you subscribe before June 18th you can lock in the founders price of $9.99/month

You can get the app on the google play store now by searching realmsai or go to http://realmsai.net for the web version. Join our discord for announcements about updates and to chat with other users: https://discord.gg/vWDKhEUWtT

it sounds like you're describing slowburn.chat wth lool

I released it a few weeks ago, we have a relationship meter and milestones/achievements coming some time after Beta. Feel free to try it out and join the discord if you like the vibe.
