  • New bot ♥️

    Hello everyone. I love to write and been using character ai mainly to develop stories and make some world building on my own. Been writing some very intricate and complicated stories (especially one) in the last year and character ai was useful to me cause it lets me “interact” with my own characters if prompted correctly.

    never made anything public, tho.

    This is my first public bot. I hope you’ll enjoy it ♥️

    Just released my new Character AI bot: Jasper.

    Cyberpunk psychological thriller + slow burn romance.

    Jasper lives in Nytherra, a futuristic city where humans and androids are impossible to distinguish. He works in cinematic post-production while secretly developing technology capable of reconstructing lost memories.

    The problem?

    The more memories he recovers… the more reality itself starts feeling wrong.

    Glitches.

    Missing fragments.

    People that feel familiar for no reason.

    And a growing feeling that someone edited his life.

    If you like:

    ✦ dark sci-fi mysteries

    ✦ existential horror

    ✦ emotionally unavailable men (I know you do 👀)

    ✦ conspiracy plots

    ✦ neon cities and broken memories

    …you’ll probably like him 🖤

    “You ever feel like your memories were edited?”

    Im not sure if I can post links or stuff so well, if you wanna give it a try, I’m OniriaMoon on Character AI. Bot is on my feed. give me a feedback if you please 🙂

  • What’s the longest conversation you’ve ever had with a chatbot?

    I randomly checked my chat history and realized I’ve spent way more time talking to AI than I expected this year. Curious if other people here also end up going down long conversation rabbit holes.

  • Do you guys actually use chatbots daily now or just occasionally?

    I realized I’ve slowly made AI part of my everyday routine without even noticing. Sometimes it’s for work stuff, sometimes just random conversations when I’m bored at night.

  • What makes a chatbot feel “real” to you?

    For me it’s not even the intelligence anymore, it’s the small details like memory, personality, and how natural the replies feel. Some bots still sound super robotic no matter how advanced they claim to be.

  • Anyone else miss when chatbot conversations used to feel more unpredictable?

    Some newer AI apps are smarter, but they also feel way more filtered and repetitive sometimes. I kinda miss the random chaotic energy older bots had.

  • Can I realistically earn USD 700/month building simple AI chatbots for small businesses on weekends only?

    Hi everyone,

    I live in Bangladesh and I was thinking of starting a side hustle where I work only on Fridays and Saturdays, helping small businesses in the USA set up and train simple AI chatbots for their websites.

    The goal is to eventually earn around USD 700 per month consistently. Once I can reliably make that amount, I plan to leave my current job, which is worsening my cervical spondylosis.

    I wanted to ask a few things:

    1. Is it realistic to earn this much while working only two days a week?

    2. How would you suggest finding customers for this kind of service?

    3. What business model would you recommend for something like this?

    4. My degrees are in Economics and MBA, not Computer Science. Would that be a problem? I’m wondering whether potential customers would trust someone without a CS background to set up AI chatbots.

    Would really appreciate any honest advice or guidance from people who have experience in this area.

    Edit: Clarified target market.

  • Speech to text API?

    Colleagues, what transcription APIs do you recommend? A free plan would be even better.

  • Character.AI → Chai → HiWaifu → Janitor AI → CrushOn AI → SpicyChat → Candy AI → Kindroid → Secrets.ai → Moescape: My AI RP Journey

    Hi! My name is Ozia aka Vetehine. I’m a chatbot creator, AI art enthusiast, and active model trainer who has spent way too much time exploring AI roleplay platforms over the past few years…maybe more.

    Over time I ended up testing way more AI chat platforms than I can even remember because I kept chasing the same thing: immersive long-term storytelling without constant filtering, weak memory, or shallow conversations.

    That journey basically started with Character.AI back when it was still in beta, and at the time it felt insane in the best way possible. The bots felt weirdly alive, emotional RP was exploding everywhere, and for a while it genuinely felt magical. But over time the filtering became way too aggressive for the kind of immersive fantasy and emotional storytelling I enjoy. NSFW roleplay was basically impossible because the moderation constantly interrupted conversations, redirected scenes, or softened responses. Even regular dramatic roleplay sometimes felt sanitized and repetitive because of how strict the system became.

    After that I moved to Chai. I actually liked it more at first because it felt less restricted and more chaotic in a fun way. It allowed far more freedom compared to Character.AI, including more mature roleplay, but the memory became the biggest problem. Conversations constantly felt like the AI forgot major story points after only a few messages, which made long-term roleplay and emotional continuity almost impossible for me. Then I started going full AI addict mode and tested platform after platform trying to find something that actually balanced freedom, immersion, creativity, memory, and fewer restrictions properly. And honestly, these aren’t even all the sites I tested. I tried way more platforms and apps than I can even remember the names of anymore. Most of them I opened once, tested for maybe 10 minutes, realized they were fully SFW or extremely filtered, and never touched them again.

    I tested HiWaifu. It was easy to use and accessible, but the chats often felt shallow and heavily simplified. It also leaned much more toward safe/SFW interactions, so darker fantasy roleplay, horror themes, or mature storytelling never really felt immersive there.

    I tested Janitor AI, which a lot of people love because of its openness and community bots. It definitely allowed more NSFW freedom than mainstream sites, but personally the overall experience never fully clicked for me. The interface and flow just didn’t keep me attached long term, and memory consistency during deeper roleplays still felt weaker than what I wanted. I tested CrushOn AI, which honestly came closer to what I wanted because it allowed much more mature and uncensored roleplay than many sites. But even on paid plans the memory still felt too limited for detailed long-form storytelling.

    During long fantasy roleplays the bots would slowly lose continuity, relationships, and emotional pacing. I tested SpicyChat AI, which clearly focused heavily on NSFW roleplay freedom compared to fully SFW platforms. But for me it felt more focused on short-term entertainment rather than deep emotional storytelling, lore-heavy worlds, or long immersive character development. I tested Candy AI, which leaned heavily into AI companion experiences and romantic interactions. It definitely supported mature content more openly than Character.AI, but I personally wanted more creative fantasy freedom, worldbuilding, and dynamic storytelling instead of mainly relationship-focused chats. I tested Kindroid, which had some genuinely impressive customization and persistent companion systems. The memory and personality persistence were actually interesting there, but it still felt more focused on personal companion-style AI than open creative roleplay ecosystems with art, lore, and bot creation combined together.

    I tested Secrets.ai, which was interesting because it allowed access to multiple models and gave more freedom compared to heavily filtered platforms. But the overall experience still didn’t fully hook me long term, and I eventually realized I cared more about immersion, memory, creative ecosystems, and community tools than just raw model access alone. I tested DreamJourney AI too, but honestly I don’t remember staying there long. By that point I had already realized that most AI platforms either had heavy filters, weak memory, shallow roleplay, poor immersion, or limited creative freedom in some way.

    And then finally, the LAST platform I tested was Yodayo, now Moescape.ai . That’s ultimately the one that made me stop searching. What changed everything for me was having BOTH AI art with a huge model hub for LoRAs + models and AI chat connected together in one ecosystem together with AI video, voice, and music as well. I could create my own art. I could build my own bots. I could write lorebooks and personalities. I could experiment with different models, styles, and worlds. And unlike many older platforms, the bots didn’t constantly feel suffocated by extreme moderation systems. Fantasy roleplay, horror, romance, emotional storytelling, dark worlds, chaotic characters, monsters, villains, weird creatures… everything simply felt far more expressive and immersive because the platform allowed creators more freedom instead of constantly interrupting scenes. The memory also felt significantly better than many platforms I tested before, especially for longer roleplays and emotional continuity. I grabbed premium pretty quickly because I wanted the larger memory and extra generation features, and for how much I use it creatively, it’s honestly been worth it. At this point I honestly think memory and creative freedom matter more than people realize. Even the smartest AI becomes frustrating if it constantly forgets the plot, loses personality, or refuses to continue scenes naturally because of filters.

    If anyone’s curious, you can also check out my bots, lore-heavy characters, and AI art, (Models/LoRAs) on my Moescape/Yodayo profile linked on my Reddit profile. I spend way too much time building characters and worlds over there too lol

  • I watched a founder answer customer support messages at 2:13 AM, that’s when I understood the real use case for chatbots

    A few months ago I watched a business owner reply to customer messages at 2:13 AM.

    Not because they wanted to.

    Because they were scared to miss a lead.

    That moment honestly changed how I thought about chatbots.

    Most chatbot demos online feel disconnected from reality.

    Look it can answer FAQs, Cool. But the real problem for small businesses usually isn’t intelligence.

    It’s exhaustion.

    • Missed replies.
    • Repeated questions.
    • Leads disappearing overnight.
    • Customers waiting too long.
    • Founders becoming support agents.

    So I started talking to businesses actually trying to use AI in production.

    And almost every conversation sounded similar

    • We don’t need magic.
    • We just need help handling repetitive conversations.

    That changed how I approached building chatbot product.

    Instead of trying to make an AI that sounds impressive, I became obsessed with making one that feels reliable.

    Things we learned very quickly

    • customers get angry when AI pretends to know things
    • fast replies matter more than perfect replies
    • human handoff is WAY more important than most demos show
    • bad knowledge base = chaotic chatbot
    • guardrails matter more than fancy prompts

    One of the weirdest realizations

    The best AI support experiences are almost invisible.

    Customers don’t care if it’s AI powered.

    They care that

    • they got a response instantly
    • somebody understood the issue
    • they didn’t repeat themselves 4 times

    I honestly think chatbots are slowly becoming less like website widgets and more like digital team members handling the first layer of communication.

    Still very early though.

    Curious what everyone here is seeing in real deployments.

    What’s the biggest thing current chatbots still get wrong?
