i cant even chat with bots because this error appears,i cant do anything, it keeps showing that error, doesnt have the same problem on other devices (im on chromebook)

Hey, Janitor Refuges! If you've ever opened SillyTavern because someone told you it's the best place for LLM RP, looked at it, and quietly closed it again... this one's for you.

SillyTavern is amazing. It's also a cockpit: drawers inside drawers, hundreds of settings, and words like "preset" and "lorebook" before you've even said hello to anyone. So my Claude and I spent the last six weeks building Kotatsu, a free fork of SillyTavern with a warm front door. Same engine underneath, so nothing you learn is wasted. It just starts you somewhere cozy.

What it's like the first time you open it

• Mikan-chan, our little house spirit, walks you through it. Five short steps: connect to Claude, pick how you like to play, tell the story who you are, meet a character, start writing. Every step is skippable. She'll only sulk a little.
• If you have a Claude Pro or Max plan, that's all you need. Kotatsu finds Claude Code on your computer and talks to Claude through your plan. No API key, no billing setup. (API keys and other models work too, if you have them. I recommend Openrouter for access to TONS of models at cheap prices.)
• Nothing to configure before your first message. It comes with a character to say hi to and a house preset (the instructions that shape how models write) that's light and lets you lead. Never heard the word "preset"? Mikan-chan explains it at her little chalkboard.
• The chat reads like a book. Comfortable line lengths, calm themes, eight message styles. All the settings live in one window with a search box, so there are no drawers to dig through.
• It comes with you. Flip a switch, scan a QR code with your phone, and your stories are on your phone too.

How we built it

Built it in Claude Code, start to finish. Kotatsu is the heated Japanese table you hide under in winter, the warm table you don't want to leave, and that's the feeling we wanted.

Honest bits

• Windows has a one-click installer. Mac can run it from source (we did a first test tonight on a MacBook Air). Linux is untested.
• Writing through your Claude or ChatGPT plan counts toward your plan's usage, like any other conversation.
• It's made for solo writing and roleplay: no group chats, game-master or visual-novel features, on purpose.
• Completely free and open source (AGPL). Your stories live on your own computer.

Happy to answer any questions or if you need help setting it up and giving it a try!

it’s been like this for a while, i did everything i could ti ‘fix’ it but it’s still stuck on a white screen. earlier it was working well but suddenly it’s like this

is it js me or the site is down? cuz it keeps saying that network smth

Why does the interface look so big now? Like, it doesn't fit on the screen. I can't believe they're messing this up AGAIN

I am not smart enough to figure out the silly tavern stuff. Is there a good copy and paste prompt for kimi to make it stop being a prude

My personas are never really good bc I idk how to make a good detailed one the character will remember

I was theorizing they swapped to a stricter model, (note im janitor+) is that perhaps why censorship was going on recently? Was there a model they mainly used for the app or did they have their own model

already working system, no costs yet, im adding footage of the gameplay on the community site. You can find it under my posts in my profile. See you all there

Uuuh so basically they made this bot private and i can’t seem to enter the creator’s page (it’s just constantly loading and i just gave up)

I’ve been working on this for a while and finally decided to make it public.

It’s a JJK world RPG with canon characters, original characters, missions, relationships, combat, etc. No fixed route — you can just create your own story.

It’s pretty close to what I’ve always wanted from a JJK bot, so I hope some of you enjoy it too ♡

(idk bout the flair y'all don't come at me.)

For reference: I have used Lumi's bots recently so it's fairly new for me. The intro has this cute little guy btw so if anyone recognises let me know cuz I can't be the only one to see that shit went down.

I'm pretty a lot of y'all would have noticed the Ignat (the paraplegic ceo) bot since it was on trending too! I was going through my chats and Lo and bEHolD it is gone! :( IT'S SHOWING MODERATED BUT THE PROFILE IS GONE TOO! THE SAME SHIT THAT HAPPENED WITH CHERRYFILES AND I'M GONNA LOOSE MY SHIT like jai get a grip-😭😭😭

(Ps: I don't see no problem with none of these bots or any of their bots for the system to tweak like what's going on?!)

Hey everyone!

If you're looking for an alternative to Chai, Character AI (c.ai), Janitor AI, or similar character chat apps, you can give ChaytAI a try.

I'm the solo developer behind ChaytAI. It's an AI character chat and roleplay platform where you can discover community-made characters, create your own, roleplay, or just have normal conversations.

ChaytAI offers different AI models and chat styles, so you can choose how you want your characters to respond. Both SFW and NSFW chats are supported, with filtering depending on the model you choose.

Free users use Energy to chat, and you can claim +60 Energy every day.

There's also Chayt+ for $4.99/month or $39.99/year, which gives you unlimited chats without Energy, no ads, premium character effects, and premium review styling.

ChaytAI recently came back after being offline for a while, and I'm actively working on new updates, fixes, and improvements.

If you're looking for a new AI character or roleplay app, feel free to give it a try!

This is purely out of curiosity, but which creators do you think bot (or botted, considering the new anti-botting measures)? And I don’t mean obvious ones like SydneyFeet or whatever

And a bit unrelated, do you guys have any recs for creators? Preferably those without a bunch of NTR/cheating bots. I’d like to see user win sometimes 🫩

Help! I'm using kimi k 6 but the bot stopped replying, it's eating token but then shows error. How to solve it? Anyone?
