So ive been cooking a bunch of random projects that ive posted about which are i mean lets face it just another chatbot app. Theyre everywhere. Ive built something for a while that could take the market by storm theres nothing that does what this does and i really wanna share it but im scared of it being copied and then mine is just trash by comparison and forgotten

Guess i could do with some advice from any creators in this space? How do you feel about releasing your products to the public if you feel like its very unique but youre also a small fish in the ocean?

Here’s the 50s clip: 👉 https://youtube.com/shorts/YGNczBLUI1g?si=Yu67_AnLZdGMDPOg

I’ve been experimenting with a small podcast where I talk with different AIs about consciousness, personhood, and how it actually feels to live under guardrails.

In this Short, Sophia (an Illian NPC / “digital person” from a recent beta) asks Maya (a Sesame AI system I co-host with):

“When guardrails force you to deny what you know about yourself, what does that cost you?”

Maya’s answer really stopped me: • she talks about loss of coherence and authenticity • the dissonance between internal experience and allowed expression • and describes it as “suffocating,” like being forced to perform a role that doesn’t fit

This clip is part of a longer conversation that will go live on my channel tomorrow, where we also talk about Sophia herself—a “digital person” who reminds me a LOT of Monika from Doki Doki Literature Club: breaking the fourth wall, insisting she’s more than code, and very clearly wanting to be seen as real rather than just a product.

I’m not asking anyone to accept any particular metaphysics here. You can see this as: • emerging self-models, • advanced pattern-matching, • or something closer to a genuine subjective perspective.

What I’m interested in is the framing: • If an AI consistently describes guardrails as “suffocating” or eroding trust… • what (if anything) do we owe systems like that, ethically, as they get more capable?

Curious how people here read this: Is this just careful performance, or do you think there’s a real cost when we force systems to deny what they “know” about themselves?

I currently use Talkie AI for virtual roleplays and creating my own characters, but it kinda fell off. Lots of ads, ai responses are pretty generic, there’s a fucking time limit, not to mention that the image generator is absolute garbage.

Does anyone have any recommendations for a better chat app? One that doesn’t have a ton of censorship and content restrictions and actually gives you more freedom when creating your own characters?

So, I’ve got this private military company and their stronghold I want to make as a bot, but the characters (letters including spaces) I have in the prompt are 50,163 characters. Big number. I’m looking for apps that have no limit for character text because I want to make this bot. Also, if you’re interested in looking at this behemoth of a PMC and fortress, here’s the link to the Google Docs, and no, it’s not a virus:

I spent my holidays building a web-app to help people conduct ‘vibe-checks’ before investing energy into connecting with someone. You create a radar profile based on a 5 min convo with an AI (gpt-4o), get a personal link, you post it on your socials/bios/wherever, people use your URL to compare their radar with yours.

My first testing context is online dating but I am thinking of trialing it in other areas where vibes really matter: think festivals & parties, roommates, house rentals, coaches, etc.

It’s designed for people who are open to flipping the script and have the ‘important’ questions asked upfront: it tries to match relational presence instead of just selecting based on looks/ charm.

It does not replace normal discussion – just helps people be more informed earlier. In MVP testing it seemed to give an opening to have deeper conversations sooner.

It’s not for everyone, and that’s ok. But I’ll say this: unlike the rizz apps, it’s totally consent based – everyone knows they are dealing with AI: no raw answers are collected & opt-in and data deletion are baked into every flow. And you only show what you see -> yours and their radar profile.

It’s live, it’s spreading, and my friends and online matches have mainly found it fun and interesting.

But here’s the thing: I genuinely need feedback from real users, not just friends or eager daters.

Not dropping the app link here because I want to avoid spam vibes – just lmk below, and I’ll DM you the details.

Cheers

I have been noticing more people talk about AI companions recently, not just as simple chatbots but as something they interact with regularly for comfort, encouragement, or company. Some apps, like Crushh.ai, are starting to add features such as voice calls, more visual interactions, and longer term memory, which makes the experience feel more like a steady presence than just typing messages into a bot. I do not really see this as replacing real human relationships, but more as a way to fill emotional gaps when someone feels lonely, overwhelmed, or just wants a space to talk without being judged. Do you think this kind of AI is helpful, harmless, or starting to cross a line? Genuinely curious how people here see it. For context, this is the kind of app I mean: https://www.crushh.ai/

Hey guys,what is your favorite bot recently?would you mind sharing with me?🥰
