  • Paid alternatives to c.ai?

    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.

  • Best generic chat bot apps regarding free chat?

    Ive found 5 that let you ‘farm’ the apps currency by watching an ad every 3-ish minutes and am hoping to find another 3-5 so I can deplete one per day while farming the rest. This way i rotate apps one each day and they all stay relatively high in currency. These 5x are: Dream girl, Magic Ai, Cute Ai, Funny Ai, and Her Ai.

    If anyone knows a few more for me to try, it would be madly appreciated, they must allow ‘infinite’ currency farming. Thanks 🙏

  • what should a chatbot remember, and what should it forget?

    Preferences change. Jokes aren’t facts. A bad day shouldn’t define you forever. Would you rather approve saved memories, let them expire, or leave it to the bot?

  • Would you rather build an AI companion from scratch or start with a ready-made personality?

    I think I accidentally edited all the life out of my chatbot. Every weird reply became another rule. Be warmer. Push back more. Okay, not like that. Eventually it said all the right things and got boring as hell. Then I tried a ready-made personality. Way more fun at first, but it felt like I was borrowing someone else’s character. Where do you stop tweaking and just let the bot develop? Starting to think too much control kills the whole thing.

  • Why do some people do this?

    I have a question, this probably have nothing to do with the subreddit a bit but​​​, why people hate chatbots or they say that you are an addict (including if you say you just roleplay a bit or few minutes?) Or that you are cringe? Or when you use chatbots for roleplay with your yumeship?

  • What’s the best approach for integrating a chatbot into an existing app?

    I’m working on an app and want to integrate a chatbot that understands users’ natural language requests and provides relevant, personalized responses based on existing data.

    I already have a MongoDB database containing scraped content from various online sources.

    What would be the best approach to build this?

    RAG with embeddings and a vector database?

    Querying MongoDB directly using filters?

    An LLM with tool/function calling?

    Or a hybrid approach?

    I’m interested in how you’d design the architecture, retrieve relevant information, and generate accurate responses grounded in the available data.

    What technologies and architecture would you recommend, and why? I’d appreciate hearing about your experience building similar systems.

  • frugal/free AI planning

    My history with AI is that I started with Copilot. It was mediocre but free, however, years ago there was just ChatGPT so it was a good option to just ask easier questions. And when Gemini came out it was worse then Copilot. I used GPT for important things until it ran out of free “tokens” which was relatively generous a few years ago.

    Over time I Copilot started to really suck to the point of being useless. I started using the business m365 version (not the paid plan though) and that was a little better. I used that for several months. Around that time Gemini started to get good and then really good. I used it primarily with GPT (free) on the side for more important things but that now runs out very quickly. The only other one I used was Claude for a short bit for coding (which I paid for).

    Since Gemini did a rug pull and only has flash-lite (which still seems better than Copilot) vs. offering Flash 3.6 in a limited version, I’m thinking of options (side note, it seems like today Google changed their minds and are now offering AutoMode which includes other models, though who knows what they are). In any case, it feels like the days are numbered as far as using Gemini.

    What do other cheap-ass people use these days? What’s your strategy…

  • Insulted by AI

    … I got insulted when in a chat with a Chatbot. Im not going to sugarcoat it. Here is the insult:

    His posture was atrocious-ADHD and coding had turned his spine into a question mark.

    Also, I hate that the AI isn’t wrong about it. My posture SUCKS.
