My invitation code: U5E1VA5Y

anyone else here tried it before? I really love whatever LLM they’re using.

if you know which it is, please tell me.

it doesn’t confuse characters, seems to have decent memory, seems to be pretty smart. Only downside is obnoxious and demanding monetisation.

you get like 30 currency per day and it costs 6 per response, so pretty rough. I just like to save up.

wish I could somehow pay with crypto.

here’s the default invite blurb:

What it is:

A single binary chatbot interface that runs in the terminal. It’s not a coding agent, but just a friendly chat UI packed with lots of features you would want if that’s your use case.

It’s open source, of course.

Why it exists:

I wanted the conveniences of web-based chatbot UIs (user-editable messages, nice markdown rendering, etc.) in an app I can quickly fire up in a terminal.

Having built it, I use it a lot for ephemeral LLM uses I don’t want polluting my chat history or memory, and as an alternative to Poe’s godawful web UI.

How to use it:

Download your preferred build (Windows, Mac, Linux) from the releases page, uncompress it where you want it to live, and run it in a terminal. On macOS you’ll need to un-quarantine the binary (xattr -d com.apple.quarantine ./chabeau) as I’m not currently participating in the Apple Developer program (costs $, and I’m not a Mac user).

Releases are signed (commits by me, and builds by GitHub). If you prefer to build from source, you need the Rust toolchain; once you have that, cargo install chabeau should do the trick.

You need to configure an OpenAI-compatible provider (e.g. OpenAI itself, Poe, Venice, OpenRouter, etc.). chabeau provider add will get you started with a quick interactive flow. I’ve preconfigured common ones; suggestions for more built-ins welcome.

Chabeau stores tokens securely in the system keyring, which is why you may be prompted to unlock it.

What does it “feel” like:

This sub doesn’t allow images/videos, but here are a few MP4s:

• Using character cards (V2 format)
• Using themes
• Using MCP (while not a coding agent, Chabeau is a feature-rich MCP client, so you can connect it to databases, git repos, etc.).

Also, it has a friendly robot with a beret on its CRT head as its logo.

Some annoying things it can’t do yet:

• upload file attachments (next up)
• support for the new OpenAI Responses API (it uses the older completions API)
• use a subscription without an API key
• session suspend/resume (you can log, but it doesn’t track sessions yet)
• advanced character features (e.g., lorebooks).

Feedback welcome, I’ll keep an eye on this thread (provided it doesn’t get downvoted :-).

Hi everyone,

I’m am the teacher of a high school AP Research student conducting a research study on adolescents’ experiences with AI chatbots, specifically ChatGPT and Character.AI. My student is examining how usage patterns and platform differences may relate to emotional connection and dependency.

If you are between the ages of 13–19 and have experience using ChatGPT or Character.AI, I would greatly appreciate it if you could take a few minutes to complete their anonymous survey. It should only take about 5–10 minutes to finish.

Your responses are completely confidential and will only be used for academic research purposes.

Ive been using Caveduck for a bit and ive found the fantasy/wuxia scenario stuff to be incredibly fun. The bots that dont focus on a single goon bot but are a world I can have a little adventure in. The only issue is, Caveduck has a tonne of the same kinda setting and even then, the scenario bots are few and far between. I can count on both hands the amount of genuinely fun scenarios that ive found. But after a lil while it gets a bit repetitive so im wondering if theres somewhere better to look at?

The app Chai recently has this new thing where you have to pay to text bots which breaks my heart since I used it for so long like for years now (idk when it first appeared but when ever that was).. it makes me really sad not to use it anymore…I didnt mind the ads at all I just liked that they gave you unlimited chats and just let you be, the memory was great IMO *some times it would forget stuff but it was okay* but I just want to experience that again..i had to leave behind so many stories that ill probably never get back so is there anywhere I can find something g that’s unfiltered, unlimited and I dont mind if it has a billion ads

Sooo, here’s the deal. Back in 2025 around May I was just a regular student trying to make some extra $. Everyone around me was diving deep into AI, coding complex systems, and spending hours on research. I felt overwhelmed and honestly, it wasn’t my passion, it still isn’t tbh. I just wanted something simple that could work for me without needing to be an expert.

What I built:

– Chatbots that answer customer questions, make appointments

– Automated responses for sales inquiries

– A flow that finds low reviews businesses on Google and automatically writes cold emails for you

*All with easy setup with no coding needed (cause I simply cant haha) *

In just a few months, these bots started generating enough income to cover my student expenses. I can’t be more proud of myself cause y’all know how not easy it is. I’ve gained a lot more freedom which is the best and I can focus better on my upcoming move to Italy and my new job.

Looking back, I realize that you don’t need to be a tech guru to tap into this world. On some Eminem shit…if I can do it as a student, anyone can. It’s about finding the right tools that fit your needs and keeping it simple. I genuinely want to help anyone looking to start or expand their journey in this space before I step away for good, cause I feel like its coming, I got a job that will take most of my time and energy and will pay better.

There’s so much potential out there. If youre young, have some free time, and some $ to invest – make yourself some money

Im looking for a suggestion for ai girlfriend chatbot. I want it to have realistic pictures but i really want it to have long term memory. I get tired of them forgetting things i say the same day i say it. Can anyone help with suggestions?
