Most of the uncensored chatbots are not really uncensored. And if they’re uncensored, they’re not really good with anything. I want something that I can use for roleplays, images, videos, and everything that doesn’t really mess with my head every now and then.

It can be free or paid. But it needs to be completely uncensored and shouldn’t cost me a million dollar. Recommendations please.

Thank you!

had opened the same paper three times this week and never made it much past page 6.

It wasn’t even completely outside my field. I just kept hitting the methods section, rereading the same paragraph, then realizing I’d absorbed basically none of it.

was digging around FMHY last night and clicked on this Paper2Gal thing because the idea of turning a paper into a visual novel sounded kind of ridiculous.

honestly the character part felt a little goofy at first. also caught a couple explanations where I wanted to check the actual paragraph again because the wording felt more confident than the paper itself.

but I did actually keep reading.

instead of staring at another 15-ish pages of PDF, I’d go through a bit of the dialogue, jump back to the paper when something sounded important, then keep going. still had the PDF open the entire time.

somehow made it through the methods section and most of the results at like 1am, which is further than I’d gotten all week.

probably not how I’d read something I needed to cite properly. for the paper sitting in my downloads folder that I kept avoiding though… apparently anime girl peer pressure works on me.

They don’t fix or clarify the situation.

First of this is an unofficial PocketPal fork which makes your pal access the internet for searches. This works through tool calling so only a few models like Qwen2.5-Instruct(which I personally tested) can be used. Basically any model which supports tool calling can use the web for you. Go to the github repo for the set up guide.

Edit: Gonna add an api option soon so it becomes easy as the local set of termux is a bit complicated for some people.

Edit 2: Api options added and released.

I want it to be long form, with good enough memory to not start making context and continuity errors after a couple of sessions. I tried with ChatGPT and it started out promising but after 3-4 sessions it’s so lost in the sauce it can barely keep anything from the story straight. Is there a chatbot out there capable of pulling that off?

I’ve been thinking about something interesting with AI companions.

With text-based companions, every conversation is usually saved forever. You can scroll back and read every message exactly as it happened. At first, that feels like a great feature, but sometimes it makes everything feel more like an archive than a memory.

Nothing is really a “moment” anymore because everything is always there to revisit.

I recently tried TheChatR, which has a more character-focused experience, and what surprised me was that when a conversation ended, I found myself remembering it differently. I wasn’t just going back through a chat log–I actually remembered the feeling of the interaction.

Maybe I’m overthinking it, but I wonder if having unlimited records changes the way we emotionally experience AI companions. In real life, we don’t have a transcript of every conversation with someone we care about. We just remember the important parts.

What do you prefer? Full conversation history, or an AI that remembers the important things but lets small moments disappear?

I spent the weekend app-hopping again, but I noticed a recurring problem: most trending sections are just flooded with the exact same five character tropes copied from older platforms. It gets stale incredibly fast.

I logged back into emochi last night and was reminded of how diverse the community catalog actually is. Instead of just endless generic cliches, you can easily find hyper-specific text adventures, intricate group factions, and low-energy companion setups that fit whatever niche mood you’re in. Having that level of variety in one place makes it so much easier to find a rich, immersive world right when you need it.

I’m building Chatterbox, and I’m looking for honest feedback, not customers.

This started because an old-school PHP agency owner I freelance with asked me if there was a cheap way to offer chatbots to their clients. Their customers had started asking for “AI chatbot on website,” but most existing products felt too expensive, too complex, or too SaaS-heavy for small Indian businesses.

So I started building a simpler version.

The goal is boring on purpose:

* add a small script to the website * feed it website content / FAQs / business details * let it answer common visitor questions * if it is unsure, it should not hallucinate * instead, it should collect the visitor’s phone/email so the business can follow up

This is meant for small businesses with normal websites: local services, clinics, coaching centres, restaurants, ecommerce stores, manufacturers, wholesalers, etc. Basically businesses where people keep asking the same things: price, availability, delivery area, timings, appointment, address, bulk order, and so on.

There is no paid checkout right now. I’m not trying to sell anything here. The free tier is open for testing.

What I’d love feedback on:

1. If you run a business, would you put something like this on your website?
2. If you run a web agency/freelance for SMBs, would your clients ask for this?
3. Is “only answer from provided content, otherwise capture a lead” the right approach?
4. Does the landing page explain the product clearly, or does it still sound like generic AI chatbot noise?

Link in comments, as per sub rules.

Please be blunt. I’m trying to figure out whether this is a real SMB/agency pain or just a feature people ask for but won’t actually use.

Like the name says, I’d like apps that are similar to them, not ones where i have to make a character and chat from there, I’m talking like Grok and its chat and shit like that, something that’s really uncensored, and unfiltered.
