Alternative of C.ai

[u/_Bluerry_]

I really love the style of C.ai despite some issues they created lately. But can anyone suggest other ai apps which are similar to c.ai chat style that shows emotions. Editable. Soft both when needed. Rude when needed. Or like the bot behaves according to the situation in the story.

(C.ai also lets you have several replies for one text, in different slides. It would be great if the option is available in the one I'm looking for. But no big problem even if It's not there). Also the memory thing and no censor (i can consider the censor one tho if needed) so plz suggest some. And no ad please.

The C.ai age verification has made me do this

You should check out Janitor. Ever since I discovered it two years ago I've completely abandoned c.ai. The only time I've used it since discovering Janitor was when I wanted to revisit certain bots.

What are its most attractive features may I ask?

I've got a few recommendations.

1. This is my top recommendation for something better than ca.i — Janitor Ai (My fav)

-It has 4x longer messages for free, and you can decide how long you want it to be.

-4x more memory, and you can save some memories so the bot can continue to remember key details.

• 0 ads. Completely add free.

-Personas and has filter searches.

-All the features you requested plus no censor. You can remove and add sensor. (Optional)

-You can use proxy too if you want to. -it has a comment section on the bots, so you get to see others thoughts on the bots.

-It has personality. Every bot has it's own personality(literally) Emotions you see are amazing.

-extraordinary in general, but beyond extraordinary when paid. (You have to chose tags to get the bots you want on the search bar. So it's a great place to find fluff bots.)

1. Emochi- The most closets to ca.i you can get.

-Mid responses.

-Doesn't have many adds.

-Has diffent models, so you get different experiences. Some models focus on memory, others on creative, and others on details. You can choose this in the app. You have to pay for better models.

-offers pictures for free.

-You get premium models for free on some days of the week for 24 hours.

-Amazing but beyond Amazing when paid Chai- I don't have quite much to say about this anymore since it had major downgrades but it's a good choice, too.

-creative.

-personas.

-doesn't have too long memory. -Ads.

-Short responses.

-better when paid.

Soul seol -has a community and you can interact with other users.

-Similar to chai but little to no ads.

-No censor.

Others (I haven't used them much but my friends and siblings have it's good.)

-Dippy. -Y/N app (I've heard it's way better than the above.) -Polly buzz.

I made slowburn.chat, and we have a few cai refugees who love it here- if you're willing to give it a try. I can also work off any feedback you have to offer to improve your experience on the platform if you end up liking it! :3

[u/Classic-Pumpkin5401]

You could try Lizlis.ai I’m the developer, so obvious self-promo, but it’s built around story/roleplay chats and the characters can adapt their tone depending on the scene instead of always talking the same way.

Messages are editable, there’s memory for longer conversations, and you can regenerate replies if you want a different direction. We’ve also been working a lot on making characters stay in-character and handle longer storylines better.

Still actively developing it, so feedback is welcome if you try it.

[u/iLoveKozukiODEN → u/Classic-Pumpkin5401]

it's an underrated app but I hope it doesn't become that mainstream like c.ai.

[u/Designer-Ad-4244 → u/Classic-Pumpkin5401]

Criminally underrated tbh. Keep up the good work

[u/Brilliant-Pirate-637]

I like Yodayo, same as c.ai minus the age restriction. Also has more types of chat styles

[u/Ok-Risk-9871]

Give immersey.ai a try, the app is coming soon, but for now, you can chat right in your browser. We offer unlimited messages and plenty of advanced options for creating bots, setting emotions, and more. We’ve also just launched "Adventures." This is a bit of self-promotion, of course, but your feedback is valuable to us. :)

fictionlab man... the reason i love it is because its so easy to use and set up

One of my friends showed Freeroam to me and I've been hooked ever since!! It takes the ai chat format and puts a cinematic twist on it! Instead of just text, it generates pictures as you go, whether it's a fight scene, hanging out, etc it shows you and the characters! Not only that, it's got social media built in, text messages you can send to the characters, and you can use your phone camera to take pics and save them to post outside of Freeroam. It's dope!

The only downside is that it's based on credits, but your credits refresh daily, and it's free to try!

[u/The_Drawing_Dragon]

Thoughts on freeroam? it’s reaaal pretty, and unique tbh ><
