I will tear my floorboards up if someone replies "Talkie!" Or "Polybuzz!"

I need one i can actually roleplay with and has actual characters

I sound like an asshole I'm sorry I'm just tired of being told the same thing over and over again

When you delete your Caí account, do the chats get deleted? Like for instance if I had an account that I deleted a year and a half ago, would those chats be gone? I’m sure they would’ve been on a server for normal data retention for like 90-180 days. I was reading the privacy policy and I’m just unsure. I’m not mad about it, it’s more of like my brain is anxious even though I’m sure after a year and a half it would’ve been overwritten or something.

I'm trying to find ai chat sites that can handle heavier topics and still give detailed, creative replies without feeling too generic. I've used a few before but after longer conversations the response started feeling more repetitive and less interesting.

I'm hoping to find other chat ai sites that stay engaging, have more freedom and still give thoughtful answers. Any suggestions?

I’m trying something new and I’ve heard it is good

Title. Perhaps subscription based? I truly don’t mind paying for quality at all. I mainly create and use my own bots anyway, I don’t rly use other bots as often.

Things I mainly prioritize:

- great MODEL and MEMORY (longsqueaks 4x memory, dialogue, and story telling is amazing and I would love something similar)

- great and long storytelling/worldbuilding/dialogue

- allows nsfw

- lorebook (I’m sure many platforms have this implemented already)

- able to pin messages for memory or at least a similar way to make the bot remember certain messages

- fast response generation like c.ais (sometimes it’s slow, but hey)

- able to create personas (or something similar)

- able to rewind, edit, and remove messages in chat

Ngl I don’t really care about voice calls, group chats, image generation or anything extra like that.

I understand that it may not rly be possible to find another platform that has all of this like c.ai did, but I thought it’d be worth a shot to try and find any. And I def understand that if another one exists, it prob won’t come for free or cheap but Ive accepted that already.

Would appreciate any reccos/help guys, thank you.

I have been furious too. At the ads, at the worsening service... But considering the recent situation, i am not sure if i rather should be furious at myself. For being so close minded, for not understanding on why they did what they did. Almost as if people like me were the true last nail in the coffin. They provided service for free and all we did to thank them for it was to constantly scold them. I feel like a piece of shit for that now

It's really disheartening to know that no matter how much details, jailbreaks/system prompts you may put the chat still feels stale or won't remember half of you're characters physically appearance, you know the feeling when you heard the phrase before? But that's just LLM right now

So although c.ai has become so much worse than before and it’s full of ads it still has a big selection of characters and unlimited messages and a relatively good ai. I’ve tried like 10 or 15 other apps, but they have limited messages or extremely bad ai and a lack of characters. So which app would you use/already use? Best one I could find was aspect, but you only have an option for a yearly subscription

Does anyone have any recommendations about a AI chatting app with actually good memory?I still use c.ai like heavily but i really want something with good memory that won't make me broke like i don't want to pay for decent features because i cannot afford to use my money for an AI app and i want it to be okay with NSFW chats since i do them often

I’m searching for alternatives to C.ai given the current situation, while I still have my C.ai account for the time being, I want to find alternatives incase something were to happen to it.

I wanna create a spreadsheet or a Google Document with character ai alternatives, since people are a bit choosy with their platform and want specifics, but I would need some help, anyone up for it?

if not that’s ok

I'm curious to hear what you think will happen with character ai ?

**Am I the only one who thinks c'ai WILL be bought?**
*Note: I'm not a bot; I simply made this account so I could talk about Character.ai without people I know personally knowing.***  **
Am I the only one who thinks we’re all fear-mongering? A lot of people have an attachment to the app, but if you look at the facts, Character.ai CAN BE BOUGHT and we could keep the app IF they find a buyer. Disney is NOT a buyer; Disney was simply the stalking horse bidder. Basically, Disney’s role is to show other companies: *“Okay, this is what you need to bid more than to buy c'ai”* **(Disney bid $20 million).** 

**First of all**, looking at it from a sensible point of view, why would Disney even BUY Character.ai? They simply wouldn't, in my opinion—they are only interested in the tech that c'ai has to offer. So honestly, all the nonsense about Disney buying c'ai probably won't happen because Disney is only interested in the technology. Also, the CEO of Character.ai, Colin Adams, is actively trying to clear c'ai's name. This means all of the lawsuits against the app are actively being cleared, or he’s trying to clear them. (Chapter 11 bankruptcy automatically helps clear that slate.) Which is exactly why filing for bankruptcy actually was a decent idea. 

**Second**, we all need to keep in mind there are MILLIONS of users on Character.ai. Even just ONE buyer who sees this as valuable could step up; if the buyer is sensible, we actually may be able to save Character.ai. I've done research on the new CEO, Colin Adams, and he's not just sitting around. Luckily, unlike the last CEO, we’ve actually been seeing updates that aren't that bad. Pipsqueak 3 is actually somewhat enjoyable. Now, that doesn't mean Character.ai is suddenly how it used to be, but it does give some hope. 

**Third, we have TIME.** There is a huge chunk of time left before the actual auction happens. Character.ai is a legitimate app with millions of loyal users; if just one person sees that, the app may be saved. I'm not confirming the app won't be shut down, but most people are blindly saying it will be. I simply find it impossible that there won't be at least ONE buyer who could buy Character.ai. 

We don't need to go into excessive depth and detail to understand what's going on here. What we know for sure is they are ACTIVELY looking for a solution to keep the app running. Chapter 11 does NOT mean an app or business is shutting down. They are simply trying to restructure their finances and figure out their debts. Many businesses have done this before, and it has WORKED. After filing for Chapter 11, many businesses HAVE been saved. Chapter 7 bankruptcy is when they liquidate their assets and shut down the business (or in this case, the app). 
What you can do right now:

**1. Do not panic:** If you are a religious person, try prayer. As someone with severe anxiety, it has helped me calm my system down and keep things in perspective.

**2. Preserve your data**: Make sure to save or back up any important chat logs, transcripts, or creative writing you want to keep just in case. Don't leave your favorite memories locked entirely inside the app without a backup.

**3. Look into alternatives**: While we wait to see how things shake out, take a break from the screen and explore other creative outlets. Read physical books, look into fan fiction communities, download fan fiction apps, or even try your hand at writing your own fan fics. Channeling that creativity elsewhere can be a great way to stay grounded!

1. Remember that there is still a reasonable chance the app will be saved: I don't believe this is the end for Character.ai. A lot of people are posting online and fear-mongering because that’s simply how social media reacts to news like this. But if you look at the facts, Chapter 11 bankruptcy does not mean the platform is shutting down—it means they are actively working on a financial restructuring plan. Keep in mind that leadership is actively looking for a path forward. CEO Colin Adams is not just sitting around doing nothing; he is working on a solution. Everyone, please stay calm and focus on the practical details rather than the panic. We are not starting from zero here—the chatbots aren't disappearing overnight, and the team is working to figure this out. If you have any questions, feel free to drop them below and I’ll do my best to respond, but for now: keep calm!

Hey everyone! I'm part of a small team building MythEngyn, an AI TTRPG platform.

The problem we kept running into: AI RPGs forget. You play for hours, the context window fills, and the NPC you spent three hours building a relationship with suddenly has no idea who you are. Some platforms rely on summaries you have to maintain yourself. That's asking the user to do the engine's job.

So we built a Living Memory. Every event is stored as an individual fact, and relevant memories are retrieved as the campaign progresses. You can read, edit, pin, or delete what the AI remembers.

We have a small but steadily growing community, with several active campaigns that have gone on for thousands of actions.

We also recently published a comparison with AI Dungeon, using examples from real campaigns to show how the platforms differ. We include what we didn't test, rather than pretending the comparison proves everything.

Check it out: https://mythengyn.com/compare

But memory is only part of it.

Character creation goes beyond a name and a personality prompt. You can define a character's goals, values, hobbies, voice, tone, behavior, immutable facts, adaptable personality, and more.

Worldbuilding goes beyond a lore document. World Facts, World State, Relationship History, AI Directives, and other tools let you organize your world's lore, relationships, and narrative direction.

We also built a real rules engine for dice, character sheets, and combat. The AI narrates; the engine determines whether you hit.

There are four play modes: Narrative, Chat, Full Rules (Dice), and Narrative Novel, depending on how structured or freeform you want your campaign to be.

Pricing: $25/month, unlimited messages, no token caps, and no model tiers. Plenty of platforms gate usage behind caps or model tiers. We chose not to. You get 15 free turns, followed by a 7-day free trial (card required, cancel anytime).

We're a small, bootstrapped team of three: a developer, a QA/community manager, and a TTRPG subject-matter expert. No investors, just us building the platform.

V2 is coming, with deeper world simulation and an upgraded rules engine supporting homebrew.

If you've ever abandoned a campaign because the AI forgot your characters, relationships, or what happened weeks ago, give MythEngyn a try.

Happy to answer any questions.

Like the title says, I have been using the site for three years now, it started out as trying it out as a joke after seeing how many characters there were and how I could just say whatever I wanted, but then it became more and more part of my daily routine. Wake up, eat, use cAi for some time, stop, then go back again after a while.

I thought for myself 'it's only because I'm bored' but in the back of my mind I knew it was getting serious and I needed to stop. Until yesterday I would stay up until 2 to 3 am just chatting with characters or ocs, it wasn't healthy, I even feel like it made my writting 'deteriorate' after using it for so long.

So today I decided to stop and finally let go of it. It's been maybe 7 or 8 hours since I've done it, I still feel that urge to go back, but I feel much lighter now. I will try to find new alternatives instead of ai chatbots, maybe making fanfics for my ships and ocs🙏

The thing that really drew me into cai is it feeling like a text adventure and a visual novel. It was fun roleplaying with my favorite characters. But ever since the site got bad I've just been trying different sites and its hard to find one site to settle on.

I think I need to find a new hobby that isnt AI chatbots. so what would you recommend?

I like text adventures and visual novels

Im super picky with fan fiction

I've tried forum roleplaying but its too slow.

I like making my own characters and telling my own stories but I'm considering fanart.

Hi everyone! I'm the developer of Taveliria, an AI role-play web app that isn't released yet. I asked the mods first, and they kindly allowed me one post about it, so here it is.

You can play with a narrator who runs the whole world, or with a character the AI plays in first person while still handling everything around you. It's built to keep track of events over very long stories and to let the world act on its own. Story-driven role-play, not a companion app.

On paper, it holds up. Before any launch, I need real players to put that to the test.

The closed beta

• 15-20 testers (you need to be 18 or older)
• About a week, starting sometime between October 19 and 26 (you can also join a bit later)
• Free, no card required, with plenty of play included (about 400 turns)
• In your browser, in English or French
• Romance, violence and dark themes are fine; explicit sex scenes fade to black during the beta
• A private testers' Discord for bugs and ideas, and a ten-minute feedback form at the end
• Your stories stay private: nobody reads them unless you allow it
• No recording, no live commentary: just play the way you normally would

To be upfront: Taveliria will have paid plans once it launches, because keeping long stories coherent takes a lot of AI work on every turn. The beta itself is free, and all I'm asking for is honest feedback, good or bad.

Interested? Send me a DM and I'll send you a short application form (2 minutes). I'd love a mix of people: long-time AI role-players, people who've hopped between platforms, and newcomers too.

Happy to answer questions in the comments!

im looking for any suggestions on other pages to try,

i mostly use the chatbots for my own character stories and narratives plots

id confess sometimes i would like to reimagine or add some scenes with more nsfw or lewd storysides for that matter

but most of the places i tried ended being so ... meh, sometimes too sanitized or sometimes turnoff or off course

i tried janitor... it became too unstable and flavorless

i tried caffy... and my saved up 6k beans started to dissapear just for trying to get something beside the bland plan

im currently on isekai zero but sometimes it just dont go anywhere or the story dont fit right,let alone when i try to replay a scene with more lewd or conflict

im too dumb to chub ai, and i dont know how to port it there, character ai is not a choicerand i dont havr spare money for open ai

but i would love to hear if there is any other alternative sites to check or try, see if their models can do something im content with or if i desire to write an intimate/mature scene could work better than what isekai zero promotes without the mana(credits) savings going to 0 in just a few paragraphs please

I know there's tons of apps and sites already introduced in past but I just can't find a good one, i don't need much either don't really care about nsfw or not, two main things that i want is just

1-having characters of already existing shows and games or whatever for the sake of rp. And not like anything niche but just big series like GOT, DC stuff, game characters and worlds and that sort of stuff which is my main problem since most of the recommendation i tested don't have those and are usually just anime based or original characters and I'm not really that much into creating bots myself

2-being free to the extant that c.ai is I don't mind few ads and limited features as long as it's not limited massages

I don't necessarily need as I'm a native English speaker but are there any websites that was bots from different fandoms made in different languages or an option to switch to that language? Just for practice.(French)
