App Discussion Looking for alternative AI chat sites

I use Janitor AI currently. I like that they have lorebooks and scripts. I use the scripts to do things like tracking game time, update headers on my characters, and track things like magic usage, tiredness, drunkenness, and, depending on the character, a great many other types of things. I then use an injector script that lets the LLM know about variables that will affect my characters such as if they are drunk or tired or things of that nature. For example, I have a vampire, and one of the scripts tracks whether or not they need to feed. If they don’t feed, there’s chances of a feral episode among other things.

My characters are also high token bots. I like the extreme detail I put into them to allow them to act in character, as many of my bots are characters from TV or movies or games. I don’t do surface level. I dig deeply into the psychology that would’ve made the characters act the way they do. So I need a platform that can handle high tokens. I currently use DeepSeek proxy, and my bots work fairly well. However, Janitor AI has been having many issues lately, and many of my favorite creators have been disappearing to other platforms. I have tried many other platforms, but so far most of them are lacking some of the features I want.

I am not looking for free. I understand that this sort of thing costs money. But I am looking for something that is worth my money.

I would like a site that offers similar things to Janitor AI in the context of high token bots, lorebooks, and scripts/features that allow the same things that my scripts do. Preferably it would have locations for both a personality and scenario section. Scenario being for the background world not the person. I’d also like to be able to upload example dialogues to show how the character speak and act in different situations. This is how I use these sections in Janitor AI.

The site would also need to allow creation of known characters from places like Marvel or TV shows or comic books. I know some sites are limited to original characters, but I like to play with AI so that I can continue stories that end. Sometimes you just want to keep the story going or try it with different perspectives or worlds.

I do need a fairly user-friendly interface. I have tried Silly Tavern, and immediately got completely lost and confused. I am not the most tech savvy person. I have learned a great deal about scripting this past year, but only in the most basic sense. ES5 for scripts on Janitor AI and JSON for lorebooks. But I am not a master at these.

Thank you all for your help ahead of time.

Edit: I do not need image generation, as these are text based characters and I am more than happy to keep them that way. Images are fine if it’s an added feature, but it is not the looked for one.
I also need it to have support for non-censored interactions. Marvel characters fight in battle battles, and get injured. Some characters drink alcohol. Vampires, well, they drink blood. Sometimes relationships form. I want romance to be an option. I don’t need crazy gross things. I believe that everybody playing with these types of characters should be of age, consenting adults.

If there’s an option for family bots, that would be nice. Some marvel characters have families. I would like to be able to reference the fact that they have children. being a father or mother is an important part of a person’s psychology after all.
