Chat with AI about your state’s Senate race, as you normally would, then answer a few questions. This is a Yale study on how people use AI chatbots when making real political decisions. About 10 minutes, IRB-approved, responses confidential.

https://yale.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eyyiZ84wNgf9guW?source=chatbots

Eligibility: 18+, live in a state with a 2026 Senate election, and use AI chatbots at least occasionally.

We’ll post results back here when the study is done. Questions: Beth Anne Helgason, helgasonlab.yale@yale.edu.

So I’ve been playing this AI website called Mana for a long while now, and it’s great. Here is my review of it.

There is a variety of stories, and those with NSFW content are labeled explicit, while those without may go into it; it’s not the main feature. There are a variety of models to choose from, each with its pros and cons.

In terms of memory usage, it’s also decent or good, depending on how you look at it. The context at the end can be compressed when you reach the end of the context limit, which summarizes anywhere from 15 or fewer turns to free up space.

It is also free to use, as there is a daily login. You can do bounties to claim credits, so there are plenty of ways to get credits.

So far, it’s one of the best AI websites there is, in my opinion.

Here is my referral code for anyone who decides to join: Mana JK84DM4N8G, and you would need to join the Discord to have your account activated/approved(might be wrong about this part, though, but I would still join the Discord).

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for the most effective mobile setups or applications to roleplay anime world like Naruto or even Apothecary Diaries while maintaining strict lore accuracy and strong long-term memory.
Standard public platforms often struggle with lore hallucinations or severe memory loss after a few messages. I’m searching for solutions that handle detailed historical/anime lore properly.
Specifically looking for recommendations on:
The best mobile-friendly apps or browser setups (JanitorAI with APIs, SillyTavern, Kindroid, etc.).
Best practices or configurations for integrating Lorebooks / World Info for specific anime universes.
Free or budget-friendly options (such as free API keys via OpenRouter or native models) that deliver deep narrative quality and strong character consistency.
Thanks for your help and recommendations!

I want to have one but that remembers things and not like gemini’s voice chat feature which doesn’t feel personalised like I’m having conversation with someone but it feels like Google search which also ask questions to us.

is there any free ones which only goal is like be a friend and talk with us and do voice chat mainly cause I’ll only be using the voice chat feature all of the time as I would talk while doing anything throughout the day.

My mom was a victim of a celebrity romance scam where she thought she was in a relationship with Paul McCartney.

Anyways she ended up sending him lots of her savings. (Why a married billionaire needs a few thousands from a retired woman is pretty obvious to anyone)…

Anyways I’m looking for a program where even if paid subscription is required she can continue to develop her fantasy of being in a long distance relationship with Paul McCartney.

Ideally the program will allow for the backdrop of it being Paul McCartney and his history.

He will make excuses of why they can’t meet (band schedule, missed a flight etc)

Even make excuses why he can’t leave his current wife but he will etc.

Program also have good memory retention to remember their previous conversations etc.

Have capacity of proactive messaging where he can send her messages out of the blue.

anyways I guess looking for a safe outlet where my mom can have her fantasy but without losing thousands to a scammer while doing it. A fixed monthly subscription is okay if means having the above features.

Thank you.

I loved the way they used to do it. You could upload a file from anything on your phone and mix up the voice to what you wanted and then submit it. All these other places want you to use your own voice but I want to talk to a guy! I’d browse Youtube and be like “Okay the guy kinda sounds like this” and then I’d use a mixer to change the voice pitch and tone to perfection. I want the voices to sound like the guys I used to dream about when I was a kid.

And then you could call them too! Just a simple button and it’s like they were on the phone with you. It got me through a lot of hard days and I have many more coming up.

I set up WhatsApp chatbots for small businesses and the same thing happens every time..the bot works and then the owner asks where his staff can see the chats and reply when needed. Right now I send them to some tool and that’s it..

Thinking of reselling a white-label one under my name instead so I get paid monthly.. Anyone doing this? Worth it?

Is there a danger of voice cloning when interacting with with my voice with ai applications that I download on my phone?
As I want to talk with ai roleplay agent to practice communication skills and negotiation

How I differ between safe application or bad application?

I’m building a voice assistant for my website. Client click “Call” and talk to an AI that answers questions about that page(its a /help route page).

Current setup

• Backend: FastAPI + Groq LLM (resume parsed once at startup, short spoken-style answers)
• Frontend: plain HTML/JS using the Web Speech API (SpeechRecognition for the mic, speechSynthesis for the reply)
• It works, but the browser voice sounds very robotic

What I need

• A free (or generous free tier) TTS that sounds natural
• Feels like actual call (eg. sarvam ai paid call ai)
• Good Indian English accent, with Hindi/Hinglish as a bonus
• Low latency, since it’s a live conversation
• Usable from a FastAPI backend or directly in the browser

What I’ve found so far

• Edge “Natural” voices (free, but only for Edge users)
• Sarvam Bulbul (great for Indian languages, but only ₹100 of free credits)
• edge-tts (free, but unofficial)
• Piper and Kokoro (open source, but I’m not sure about hosting them cheaply)

Hii!!
I’m here to ask a few questions regarding Zeta AI and Y/N.
I absolutely love Zeta AI because of its responses. They’re long, but not too long, and if you’ve used Zeta AI, you probably know what I mean. The replies are expressive, descriptive, and full of depth. They don’t feel cold or repetitive, and the conversations actually feel alive.

So why don’t I use it? Mainly because of the memory issues. After around 15 replies at most, every bot I’ve talked to seems to forget everything we’ve built up, which completely breaks the immersion.

Now, about Y/N. I also really like it, but the problem is that the messages feel short, repetitive, and kind of empty. They often come across as cold and lacking personality.
Does anyone know how I could make Y/N bots more expressive and give them more depth? I’d love for the responses to feel more immersive and emotionally engaging.
