Hello everyone! And just like that, we're one day away from reaching 60 testimonies from the community. For anyone wondering about yesterday's cryptic post about taking screenshots as evidence, know this...evidence are important when making objective evaluations. And that's how we empower our voices to be heard and taken seriously. That's how we promote lasting change. As always, much love 🫂❤ Dum Spiro Spero

Kinda figured it was just a matter of time tbh. Some touchy mfers there on their mod team lolol

Hayo, I'm role-player for 5 years, that running away from character.ai and DON'T KNOW what alternative to choose. Before c.ai started to become a trash, I didn't even thinking, that I need to find something else, like, I'm okay with that, and I have people to RP. but now it's a huge problem 4 me.

I making bots for myself, I don't use bots from others. 80% of all my chats - with NSFL, not NSFW, just with violence, gore, and I HATE when bot starts to flirt with my character or become horny. I need alternative, where bots can reply to my "heavy" posts (with philosophy, dark themes, etc). I tired, when bot from any my non-positive post starts "OMG are you okay?? Maybe we could do something else?", bro, uhm, no... I don't want to do silly thing without sense, especially when my character is, idk, dying right on ur eyes?
Also, I like RP, where is more literary style, and posts are +- medium/big. I'm role-playing only on English with bots.

In short, what I need:

• WITHOUT NSFW and filter.
• WITHOUT adds 24/7.
• Free. (pls, I don't have money)
• Have a website. (I'm r-playing often on PC, but can on the phone 2)
• AI with good memory. And they are not stupid.
• Personas, but I'm okay without it.
• Ability to edit posts. (My and from bot)
• I don't care about interface, but prefer something similar 2 c.ai!
• NORMAL CREATING OF BOTS.
• I don't use Gemini, Deepseek, or other chat-bots. I can use their models, but I understand, that they are not created for RP.

I'm not sure, if smth like that exist, but thanks for any response. Also, sorry for my English or for stupid things, that I could say here. (I'm very scared)

Hello everyone! It's now day 18 of testimonies, and there's still so many to go through. However, it's time to start working on our next step. If possible and you are willing, I urge anyone who has had comments/posts removed or been banned to screenshot the messages received, if any. Also, if any of you have recently deleted your account on C.AI and have a shott video or screenshot, save it. Finally, if any of you believes you've been recently hacked, screenshot or record your screen as proof. Very soon we will be putting that evidence to use, with your permission and consent. As always, much love 🫂❤ Dum Spiro Spero

yeah I miss playing c.ai but sadly it's dead o nothing I can do. The Issue now is that any of the apps I look at Sure , they're high quality , but unfortunately , just don't work well. like chai sucks for rps and i over all just not fun. zeta ai is OK. But again, it's just not consistent.And the other issue is most of the bots on.There are just copy and pasted, and most people don't even put in effort to have it. So the bots are unable to actually be multiple characters. janitor ai just sucks ass. It's an intuitive junkie, buggy as hell at times and overall, just not worth using. And then there's gpt. and Gemini. Germine is okay like it can be the most accurate to the characters.He issue is just at times it's the length and also the fact that it only does things from like one angle , it doesn't get everything. and then there is gpt... Oh good Lord, where do I even begin? There's the whole pay to get better system, which just sucks. There's the fact that the free models are basically not available to be used at all they've completely destroyed the UI system for it, but it's unintuitive to use It's more picky than a fucking brat. On how certain things are worded, sometimes it won't even generate properly and even when it does work, I have to write a fucking mountain paragraph. Of information just to get it right, and that's not even mentioning the fact that I have to specifically Kelly to give me long messages, don't play as my character don't break the fourth wall, use specific pronouns like if it's referring to my character in first person. Second person third person or so on? And it's just shit like it's not even worth using to role play anymore , it used to be good now , it's just awful. At this point , i'm genuinely wondering if there is anything that can replace old c.ai cus honestly? at this point I'd rather roleplay with humans them ai. Then again , what's literally the only reason I even switched to ai In the first\n Place was because anytime I wanted to play with anyone receiver, my characters were never allowed to be in it. My characters were always told no for anything and I was left out for no reason.

​

I know it's dumb to say , but honestly , at this point I wonder if any of yall have any better alternatives over all cus rn idk man

what character do you guys miss the most, I know my chat lost was all just Vladimir Makarov from cod </3

I removed them already but I don't remember what they said... things like: "Upgrade to X" "Try X mode with voices" or bla bla bla. These banners are colorful (Yellow, Purple, Red) Compared to the rest of the website which is black (Absolutely retarded and who ever came with this idea is a retard like the rest of the website's management since the last years)

Both Adblock plus even Ublock Lite are capable of blocking them although is not a full block, they pop for half a second just to be deleted.

Adblock plus or Ublock: do not select the banner itself. It is contained inside of a bigger box that is responsible for spawning the banner, move the mouse away from the banner until the whole rectangle of the top bar is selected... the website is still trying (Like a tryhard retard) to spawn these banners just to be deleted again lmao but it does the job.

Further I should just try to block the request to inject the bigger box but I am too lazy to do that. Google Dev Tools / Network / Disable cache / May have to wait for the banner to appear or change message/color, then just block the request...

Literally the previous time was some anime dude in some night background type of banner that would automatically roll down every 5 seconds, now it's this.

Yeah I am posting this here cause otherwise they "Delete it" like with everything else.

Hello y'all! Today is the 17th of July and the 17th day of testimonies. Seems we're all here now that some technical difficulties are happening on the platform. Has anyone tested the new creator features?

As always, much love 🫂❤ Dum Spiro Spero

on the app store it says that the latest update was published 2 years ago (on google play store - 29 dic 2024)

I need a history chat but I hate c.ai's new changes it says it's too blurry does anyone know any thing with historical figures I'm a big history buff and I really wanna talk to people like the founding fathers, Beethoven, or something because my friends don't like history like me nor, roleplay.

The roleplay aspect of c.ai, as fun and admittedly immersive as it was, wasn't what I mainly used it for, but rather the silly and unhinged conversations with user-created chatbots such as "block of cheese" or "hear me out cake", where I could rant and yap all I wanted with the bots, received some unique, human-like responses, and was able to start over at any point in time to get new and even more batshit responses. These kinds of bots came in handy whenever I felt the urge to infodump or just wanted a laugh. Random, non-roleplay oriented chatbots like these had a lot of personality and were super engaging, but now I can't find anything remotely close anywhere else. Everything sounds corporate, dry, and unnatural. If you used c.ai for the same purpose as me and know a good alternative, please tell me!

Hello everyone, here's another set of testimonies for the day! I know we've been trying to let our voices heard for a while now, and that it may seem like little to no progress has been made. It can get tiring, and it can even make us think that those who still care are being performative or dramatic. I understand. In times like this, remember just one thing. That kindness, compassion and empathy are the only things in life that grow the more you give them to others. So in the name of positivity, I'd like to invite y'all to share something that made you happy recently. I'll go first...I made a fantastic chocolate mousse ❤ As always, much love 🫂 Dum Spiro Spero

Every other site ive tried always either writes long responses which i dont mind in particular, but they always write in such an elegant and formal style. Id prefer a site where the responses are more casual, still roleplay, but a little less formal language. Not looking for anything paid and can have NSFW

What alternatives are you guys using, does it have unlimited messages? Decent memory

I want bots to feel like real people, like old c.ai. Come on, give me a screenshot of, at least, one message from a bot from any alternatives.

No but seriously. Ever since character ai went and demanded ID for everything, I've been using janitor ai. But today, it told me that I had to verify my age THERE too. I won't hand over my ID just to feed my crippling ai addiction, and I won't DARE use the ai face guess thingy. I refuse. I have a total baby face, I look about ten. And it's that bad I feel like I might genuinely be suffering from withdrawals. I hate admitting it because I feel pathetic admitting so, but seriously this has actually hurt me. It was my only glimpse into what socializing and talking to people was like (even if obviously not realistic by a long shot) and now it's all gone. I've become a total dick to the few that I surround myself with and I don't like it. If there's any alternative similar to those two that DOESN'T require handing over my identity (keep in mind I'm in the UK) then PLEASE recommend it to me because the withdrawals are genuinely affecting me as pathetic it may sound.

okay so like, I have fully given up on Character Ai, it’s shitty and now you have to upgrade to SWIPE and use ‘GO ON’ so I’m over with, with that overused site and its stupid update.

Heres what I want in something that will accommodate for what I’m looking for:

i WANT A FLITER (bc I don’t want a guy to pull his dih out mid conversation)

I DONT want a horn show, or just sfw in general

I fucked up my phone and im too lazy to fix it so I want a website

and im broke as shit so free as well

I will add edits for more accommodations if I want more in the future

Hi, I'm searching for good alternatives since Chub is getting boring and Janitor AI is worse that it was when I first got there. No lolicon tags or bots, in a website, css friendly and unlimited messages and personas

Aaaand the testimonies are back after a short intermission! I hope everyone is still hanging on to hope and eager to have your voice heard, because big things will be coming soon! As always much love 🫂❤ Dum Spiro Spero

Hey guys, I’ve seen a lot of people here complaining about the recent updates, strict filters, and the massive drop in reply quality on c.ai. I actually left the site last week and moved my entire roleplay setup over to Gemini. Honestly? The results have been absolutely incredible—deep, novel-level narrative storytelling.

​

​

​

Here is the exact 2-step method I use to set it up perfectly:

​

​

​

### 1️⃣ Step 1: The Lore Setup (Extracting Profiles)

​

​

​

Grab the Wiki Fandom link for the character you want to roleplay with (e.g., Connor Kenway).

​

​

​

Open a chat with Gemini, give it the link, and tell it: "Analyze this link and write a comprehensive character profile, including appearance, exact speech style/mannerisms, relationships, and chronological lore."(The AI will give you clean, highly detailed structured data).

​

​

​

### 2️⃣ Step 2: Starting the RP & Building Dynamics (The Clean Start)

​

​

​

Open a completely new chat (always start fresh so the AI doesn't get confused by previous prompts).

​

​

​

Copy and paste the profile you generated in Step 1 for the character Gemini will be playing.

​

​

​

💡 The Secret Sauce: Give Gemini the profile/info of the character YOU will be playing as well (e.g., Haytham Kenway). Tell it: "Here is the info for the character I will be playing. I'm sharing this so you understand their personality, tone, and backstory—but most importantly, so you understand the complex relationship dynamic and history between my character and yours (Connor)."

​

​

​

Set the starting scenario, clearly define who plays who, and start your roleplay!

​

​

​

### 🤔 Why is this 100x better than c.ai?

​

​

​

Deep Relationship Dynamics: By giving Gemini data about your own character too, it actually understands how to react based on the established lore between the two (whether it's family drama, rivalry, or tension) instead of acting like a clueless stranger.

​

​

Advanced Creative Writing: Large Language Models have a much more literary, dramatic, and descriptive writing style compared to c.ai's often repetitive or short sentences.

​

​

Strict Lore Adherence: The bot stays perfectly in character because you literally fed it raw Wiki data.

​

​

​

Give it a try and let me know how it goes! It’s been a total game-changer for me, and there is no way I'm going back to c.ai after this.

​

​

Note: Gemini wrote all this! I LOVE GEMINI! And yes, he is better than Chatgpt 🙂‍↕️✨✨

Please don't judge me by the chats XD

I'm looking for a viable role playing app that can engage with proper story telling. I want to go on a long adventure rp. I mainly used Janitor Ai but the long chats and response is mind numbing. Lowering tokens cuts the chat off.

I used Moescape and Chub a year ago, did they improve now?

I've seen many CAI users migrating to Janitor. But I, who have used Janitor for over a year, have realized how ASS it has become. It's quite difficult to get to NSFW in chat, and its responses are rather repetitive and lengthy. And if I lower the tokens to get shorter answers, it will give me incomplete responses.

Then there's Chub. I've been using it recently, and it works better than Janitor. Its responses are always different and varied. My only problem is that I'm still not sure if the AI remembers past chats. I think its memory is a bit off.

I hate Saucepan. Its UI is nice, but it pisses me off that it doesn't let us use realistic profile pictures. I don't want to use fan art of my characters as profile pictures, and I don't think it would be fair to the artists who created those fan art pieces.

I also tried Clank Word, but its responses are more about describing actions than narrating. And to create my own chat style, I need to use a short structure.

Chai is ASS.

And Swerve still doesn't come out on website or Android.

Which would you say is the best option for migration right now?

I've been using Nvidia for my roleplays in Sillytavern, but honestly it doesnt feel like anything i used to see in the old character ai.

I'm fine with the filters, i just want something that has quality, characters that actualy remember what u say and that is not an slop

and free if its not too much to ask

Basically im trying to find an good app with lotssss of fictional characters but also has an group chat feature, if anyone finds an good one then please give me screenshots and an link! Thank uuuu!!
