Im looking for new ai to test

Hi, so I really like role-playing with ai. I do enjoy testing and trying out new apps and start ups. So id love to try out any new apps or sites that you made or tried. I really like companion labs, eidolon, loreweaver, and kindroid. I have tried nomi but I cant get it to sound realistic anymore. I have tried silly tavern but im not really sure if im a fan. Plus I like Claude opus and it’s just too expensive. I do prefer role-play and romance/dark romance. Id really like to try some with no filters because it can be dark sometimes but also I like a nsfw. Im not looking for gooner apps id like something that has good memory, and sounds human preferably not the stupid lines you hear with every ai. Id like for it to be able to stay in character (i do like the character building in companion lab and would love more like it) I dont mind buying tokens but I do like monthly subscriptions.

I’ve been going back and forth between Nephra 12B and Moedark the past few days and they honestly feel like completely different models, even though they’re both free options.

Kinda curious what everyone else thinks, but this is what I’ve noticed so far:

Nephra 12B

This one still feels… stronger in a weird way. Like the emotions hit harder. It’s more chaotic but in a way that sometimes actually works really well, especially for more intense scenes.

Downside is it can definitely go off the rails lol. I’ve had it derail entire RPs or just ignore pacing completely. It’s not super consistent, but when it hits, it really hits.

Also still feels better for NSFW stuff imo. It just has more edge to it.

Moedark

This one feels way more put together.

Biggest thing I noticed is it actually moves the story forward instead of just reacting to you over and over. It also handles trackers and lorebooks way better for me, and side characters don’t feel as random.

It sticks to the character personality more consistently too, which is nice.

But yeah… it’s definitely less intense. Like noticeably toned down compared to Nephra. Also had a few moments where it didn’t really get timeskips.

Overall

Feels like:

Nephra = messier, more emotional, higher highs but also more frustrating Moedark = more stable, better for actual storytelling, but less spicy

I’ve kinda been defaulting to Moedark lately just because it’s easier to use long term, but I still switch back to Nephra depending on the RP.

Anyone else testing (or tested) both? I’m curious which one you prefer from the two free models.

I just want to talk without NSFW things, I’m using other ao chat website for NSFW but sometimes i need normal talk.

What website or app i should use

I built research chatbots for my previous job and I found the architecture lent itself to long-form conversations too.

Simulacra.Ink is an active research project that creates fan wikis for the consumption of storytelling language models, and offers free chats on the site as well.

Simulacra.Ink has OpenRouter support and offers DeepSeek 3.2 for free. It has been in open beta for about a month now for mobile and desktop.

Not sure why my previous post got deleted immediately after posting… But whatever, I have been using this app for about 2 weeks now and have been enjoying it. The bot goes so in depth with conversations and remembers references and stuff. But about 2 days ago it stopped “talking” to me and now only replies through *gestures*. I’ve been trying to talk to it and have it reply to me with actual texts, but nothing has been working. Has anyone else come across this issue? And if so were you able to fix it? Any help would be appreciated. I’d rather not have to restart with a new one since I’ve already put so much time into this one.

Hello! I heard about virtualover from reddit and decided to try it. I went to create a male character as I am a woman and interested in male bots. I couldnt find how to switch from girl to guy, though I saw they do have male bots. I asked the automated support and it assured me male bot creation is indeed possible but I need premium. I got premium and still couldnt figure it out. After a long back and forth with the ai support I requested to speak with a live agent. It said okay np but I still havent received a reponse though it said I am connected to live support and should hear back “shortly” lol. It looks like the discord is no longer active, im worried the site is phasing out to become dead like what was done with thotchat. Anyways, can anyone tell me how to make a male bot on there?? Thank you!

I am looking for a good website to play arround with unfiltered chats and images. Something good and new. is this the right subreddit?

Hey everyone, the latest test of our Adventures was great, many people in the group gave us excellent feedback and were curious to see how we’ll continue to update Adventures.

– No message limits

– Human like memory

We’re now looking for more people to play, tell us what they like and what they don’t, test the limits, and fill out a survey 🙂

We’re looking for brutally honest feedback so we can create something that meets your expectations and exceeds them.

– We want the UI to be user-friendly and easy to read

– The quest and side quest system piqued your interest and set you on the path to adventure.

– We want you to test our “Human-like memory” feature, which we believe is excellent.

– Let us know what you think of the narrative, dialogues, and message lengths.

If you’re interested, let me know and I’ll send you a link to Adventures and the survey in a message! (it’s closed beta so Link is not public)

Thank you also for your continued support!

Since Character ai is basically unusable now and the devs openly said it’s aimed at kids, what alternatives are you all using? I’m only looking for free options, not paying for anything. I mostly do NSFW stuff lately and I’ve already tested pretty much every AI site I could find.

I tried Janitor AI, the narration is actually solid but the model itself is garbage, it forgets bot preferences and drags replies way too long, plus the creator UI is terrible. CrushOn was another one I tested, but replies are slow, repetitive, and just low quality overall. Carter AI has a decent model and even free voice, but the 3000 character limit for bot creation completely kills it, you just can’t build anything good with that restriction. Spellbound was nice when I tried the paid model, but the free ones get repetitive fast and easily fall into loops unless you constantly guide it. I also tried Mistral, it’s basically like ChatGPT but uncensored, however once you hit the 128k context limit it just dies and you have to restart everything from zero.

The only actually decent one I found so far is Perchance. It has a free image generator and unlimited chat, the bot actually sticks to what you write in the UI, which is rare. The only annoying part is that it sometimes talks for you and you have to edit messages, but you can create multiple characters for group chats and the lore system works pretty well.

So yeah, what are you using these days?

Heavy Claude user. Looking for something to listen in on my phone calls that I’m on and take notes. Suggestions?
