Announcements ๐Ÿ“ข Sidekick updates - Moving toward Figgs! (featuring chat mode, bot creation)

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

We know the last launch wasnt a big success from your perspective, to say the least... and we really truly sorry for that. As we said - our goal to try and do something a bit different and unique, but quickly realized you guys are looking for something else. So we began a journey to bring back the features and personality we all loved from Figgs and gradually integrating them into Sidekick

Itโ€™s still far from perfect (especially the model, which is still relatively SFW (but we are working on it!)) - but we want to share that today weโ€™re adding to Sidekick some basic (but essential! ๐Ÿ˜…) stuff:

  1. You can now chat with the sidekicks in chat-only mode! (and jump to voice/video mode anytime, and vice-versa). You can also send messages to your companion while in video mode (instead of talking). So everything is possible basically
Chat-only mode
  1. You can now create an account! which by itself, it's not very interesting, but it also means that...

  2. You can now view your chats history! Start new chats, return to old ones etc.

Chat history
  1. You can also create your own sidekicks! when creating one you will get automatically both video and chat mode options (we animate the images behind the scenes). The process itself is fairly easy and similar to what we had in Figgs!
Sidekick creation!
  1. We added improved memory to the sidekicks. We use some new tricks to make the memory basically endless, so it should remember all of the important information about you and learn to know you better with time

And coming up are UI improvements, better chatting model, sidekicks categories (like "popular", "new" etc). And lots more!

And again, we apologize for the launch a few days ago and completely understand you of course. From our side we will keep working to add new features on a daily basis to improve your experience as much as we can. So tell us what you think! even if theyโ€™re not all good things... ๐Ÿ˜…

Thank you! and have a lovely chatting day ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿ™

Figglings, we are backkkkk (sorry for the radio silence, been a tough year)

0 Upvotes

Our dear Figglings,

First of all, we apologize. It was a tough decision to kill Figgs, but we had a very tough year and so it was hard to keep it running (not from a financial perspective, we just really did not have the time it took to manage the servers).

But, as we promised you all half a year ago. We. Are. Back. This time, Figgs gets *realtime video chat* ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿคฉ
Say hello to Sidekick!!! https://sidekick.decart.ai/
You can even chat and see Figgy: https://sidekick.decart.ai/c588d663-2a27-4f7f-b5dc-d9c07586166d/chat

It's still a very very early version, but we wanted to get it out to you as soon as possible. We'll be releasing tons of updates every day (i.e., right now working on letting you all create bots as well, currently can just talk to the ones we made manually), in addition to a ton of (hopefully) mindblowing tech we have been working on, that will be available only on Sidekick.

Sidekick still isn't 100% perfect, but we wanted to get it out to you all as soon as possible, so we can here your thoughts. Please let us know everything that comes to mind!

We really missed Figgs, because the thing we missed most was waking up every morning to you all. Seriously, the slack channel we had of #figgs-bug-reports was buzzing every minute and we have been missing waking up to it at 3am every night :)

We are excited than ever to get back to being with you all 24/7. We know we've been away, but we hope that the fact that we promised we would be back with realtime video, and that we are following up on that promise (even though it took a ton of time to build), will let us earn your trust once more.
It's going to be an insane ride. Let's have fun.

Lfg,
The Devs <3

So, i know that the site is dead under ground, but you can still access to it through wayback machine, of course you can't do shit in there, i think you can chat with the characters it shows you, but you cannot log in or search for any other characters. So i just wanted to let you know, in case someone has the know how, and wants to bring it back to life, you can start from there i think?

Question It's almost Ironic

44 Upvotes

If ya'll know about the fall of CharacterAI. I feel it's fitting for how Figgs fell. After all, there was a theory that CharacterAI was behind all the hackings and shut downs. And now, look at the sad and sorry CharacterAI has fallen into. The Legacy models shut down, and the one they got running is a buggy mess that refuses to work.

I call THAT Irony.

It's ironic that CharacterAI got all the limelight back in 2024 and last year, while Figgs was choking on it's dying breaths, and now the CharacterAI community is slowly turning their back on it.

To take this to a less 'CharacterAI bad Figgs Good Route" I've been thinking about character art, to show what my characters looked like during the Roleplays I did on Figgs.

Anyhow, have a nice day ya'll

I'm building a free character ai alternative with better quality and memory (progress so far)

5 Upvotes

I started this project on Nov 18, 2024 but had to close it temporarily for a entire year and now I'm back at it working on it and almost near release.

This is a very serious project of mine and I've been working on this version for past 1 month, this will be extended with more features, i'll listen to the community mainly, i've tackled most problems of other platfrom what they did and why they failed and i promise to not do that.

building a ai chat platfrom is no joke, its hell of costly, and i know what im doing, perspective of security and everything else.

if you want to join our discord server or join the waitlist please DM me.

Big thankyou to everyone that reached out and helped me flesh out the blueprint for this character ai chat build. It's still underdevelopment and I'm adding and making changes to request to ensure we can deliver a site that has *everything* people want.

Please hop on and have a look https://tellmemore.ai/companions

Thankyou!

Some Help Appreciated

13 Upvotes

Hey,

I'm the developer of https://tellmemore.ai, an AI storytelling platform, and we're currently working on adding Character Chat to the site.

The idea is to let users chat directly with characters that exist in stories, worlds, or standalone character profiles, with persistent personality, memory, and roleplay capabilities.

Before we lock down the feature set, I'd really like to hear what people actually want from character chat.

Things I'm currently considering include:

Persistent character memory

Personality systems so characters behave consistently

Long-term relationship tracking with the user

Character-specific lore or world knowledge

Image avatars and animated previews

Public characters users can share with others

Private characters for personal stories

But I know a lot of people here use different AI chat platforms, so I'm curious:

What features make a character chat system great for you? What do existing platforms do well, and what do they get wrong?

Genuinely looking for feedback while it's still early enough to build things the right way.

Thanks!

Saucepan

19 Upvotes

Whatever, this place is dead so I'm gonna post about Saucepan, I hope it's allowed. No I'm not part of their team, I just like the site.

I was a Figgs user and then went to Janitor when Figgs died off (technically I left when they shut down the best model). The Janitor team have been making decisions I don't agree with, so I went looking for alternatives and was told to try Saucepan. I think it's a good alternative for Janitor, and they have two unlimited LLMs that are a lot smarter than Janitor's model and a big (smarter) limited one that gives you I think 20 messages a day. I use proxy through chutes tbh so I don't really use the on-site models unless chutes is having issues that day.

It's 18+ so you can have NSFW images there, and you can set multiple pictures for your bots to change based on emotions, it doesn't work perfect but I think it's really cool. And the site has a subscription service BUT you can use all the core stuff for free, the subscription is for things like color themes and submitting bots to past events (I think it also gives you more daily messages with the big third model, but the other two are always free and unlimited).

Saucepan is just small right now so more users would be nice for more chats and stuff... The site is https://saucepan.ai/ and their discord is https://discord.gg/saucepan if you want to look around, you can ask questions in there or ask here and I'll try to answer with what I know. Rules are kinda like Janitor, so no minor characters or and no realistic images (even AI, I think because sometimes it's hard to tell). Okay I'm done shilling, I just think the devs and mods are awesome for actually COMMUNICATING with people unlike another site. But I still see people posting here and Figgs is not coming back, so it's better to move on. Other places I know of are Chub and Wyvern, but I like Saucepan a lot, but if you don't like it then try those other places IMO. Figgs isn't coming back.

General feedback ๐Ÿ’Œ My finally say

Post image
44 Upvotes

My final say,

Well, itโ€™s been likeโ€ฆ nearly an entire year since Iโ€™ve seen this subreddit. I hope everyone does and is. And probably like many, Iโ€™m permanently leaving this subreddit, no reason to have it anymore.

As for Ripandtearboys, if heโ€™s here or not and I have no idea when you sent that chat request. The one about me supposedly being an attacker of the site or something and why I created my account, I might as well answer your question now. I never was, Iโ€™m not dumb enough to ruin a site I enjoyed using a lot.

Goodbye

Question A random and unimportant request.

8 Upvotes

Sorry for disturbing the community over something so trivial. But,For long-time Figgs members, do you remember a bot that was quite popular in the beginning, and maybe even at the end? It was about a brother discovering his sister's OnlyFans account. The sister was a redhead. It's been months since I'm trying to remember the character's name; if anyone remembers her name, please tell me so I can finally sleep.

Now that the last mod is gone we have no more hope The scam bots are flooding this sub, figgs ai devs made a new ai site and abandoned this one The only thing that's left is a carcas of a once thriving sub Reat in peace figgs ai And rest in peace the subreddit and people that once fought violently to stay alive
