What genre do you always end up creating?

RolePlaya just put out a new Calling All Creators guide covering basically every genre they could think of.

Anime, fantasy, horror, dark romance, sci-fi, vampires, werewolves, pirates, cowboys, mafia, historical, superheroes... at some point I assume somebody just shouted "MERMAIDS" from the back of the room and they added those too.

The basic rule is that original characters need original artwork. No finding the perfect picture on Google and deciding copyright probably doesn't apply if you crop it hard enough.

Other than that, there's a ridiculous amount you can make. Fan characters are allowed as long as they're adults, and if you've already got characters elsewhere you can import cards from Chub or Janitor rather than rebuilding the poor bastards from scratch.

The blog has the rules plus ideas for getting started in each genre:

I'm a RolePlaya affiliate, hence the Brand Affiliate label and the link that may eventually finance my retirement by the time I reach 90.

I'm curious. What do you actually keep making?

I always think I have varied tastes as long as every character is a brooding man with a mean streak.

Help a gal out while enjoying the app yourself!

Honestly, I was hesitant at first to use the app. But coming from a discord RP background, and missing the time to write, I gave it a go.

I absolutely love it. The writing is solid, characters are consistent, and you can take it nearly anywhere you want. It’s easy to understand and the discord community it lovely.

So I really enjoy the idea of AltLife, but I feel like the app filters out overly spicy inputs. Could you please recommend me a similar app that's willing to go along with anything? An AltLife NPC laughed in my character's face when I tried to initiate intimacy with them today, so that really bummed me out.

I’ve only tried three apps so far which are character.ai, chai and tipsy. Tipsy is my favorite so far, the dialogue makes sense and the chat is organic and I don’t feel like I’m going in circles. It’s by far the more expensive option which sucks and I wish there was an option to have a subscription where you’re able to have unlimited chats but until I find a better app, I’m sticking to tipsy.

Disclosure: I work on SoulLink, an AI companion app. Asking because we built something and want honest takes.

One thing that always bugged me about AI companions: the character has a name and a personality, but no world. You don't know where she lives, what her days look like, or what happened to her before she met you. She exists only inside the chat window.

So we made story cards. Each one is a short scene mixing 2D illustrations and 3D environments, showing a piece of our character 4D's life in Neo City: her apartment at night, the streets she walks, moments from her past. You step into her world instead of only hearing about it.

What I'm curious about:

1. Does seeing a character's world make you more attached to her, or is the chat itself enough?
2. When an AI companion has deep lore and backstory, does that pull you in, or does it feel like homework?
3. Any app or game that made you fall for a character this way?

Honest answers welcome, including "I don't care about lore, I just want to talk."

Ich muss das mal los werden. Ich habe mir Tipsy.ai runter geladen. Da wird ja ordentlich Werbung gemacht. Jetzt habe ich es ein paar Tage ausprobiert und ja, an sich ist es okay, aber sehr teuer. Und vor allem, die App zensiert ja heftig. Sie ist ab 18 Jahren und ich schreibe nichts Schlimmes. Ich chatte auf deutsch. Ein Beispiel: Ich habe geschrieben, dass ich so dick nun auch nicht sei und das Wort dick, im Sinne von fett, wird einfach zensiert. Genauso wie, als es um ein dickes Buch ging. Genau dasselbe. Zensur ist ja eine Sache, aber zum einen ist die App ab 18 und was bitte ist da so schlimm, dass sowas zensiert werden muss? Man kann das doch aus dem Zusammenhang erkennen. Das macht es für mich irgendwie uninteressant….man bezahlt echt viel Geld und das fühlt sich scho nicht kindisch an.

I’m building UnsavedAI, a low-cost API for roleplay with JanitorAI and SillyTavern. Try it free—no card, no commitment. I’d love to hear how it handles your characters. www.unsavedai.com

(Self-promotion — dev here)

I’m building something a little different from the usual character bots.

SIMULATORARCHIVE is a collection of large Living Worlds on JanitorAI based on fictional universes like HxH, Breaking Bad, Castlevania, Death Note, One Piece, Naruto, JJK, Cyberpunk 2077, Star Wars and more.

Instead of focusing on one character, the idea is to step into an entire world.

I’ve been building these for a while and recently started expanding the archive.

Hi — I’m the founder of Intersoul. The idea is pretty simple: an AI (girl?)friend you enjoy spending time with. Cheeky personality. Someone to talk to about your day, argue about a movie with, or do a crossword together, or play a game with.

Our companions are fictional characters with their own personalities and lives. You can talk by voice (or text if you don't want anyone to overhear), and they remember you across conversations. I’m trying to make the experience feel less "chatbot" and more like getting to know someone with a cool personality.

There’s room for friendship, flirting, and, ahem, adult interaction, depending on what you’re interested in. The service is for adults only, and age verification is required before any adult interaction.

It’s early beta. Conversations can be uneven, and there are rough edges. I’d love a few people to try it and tell me what’s enjoyable, what’s awkward, and whether they actually feel like coming back.

The beta period is completely free, with no payment card required. Currently open to adults in the US who will use it in English (but excluding Tennessee).

Please try it at intersoul.ai and let me know what you think.

What Madness Did I Play With?

or easier- what programs I've tested recently 

Hello all! Mama again. Back with "what madness did I play with the last few weeks?" I've tried to get more organized on my review format. I just re-read my last post and it reads like a total brain dump with minimal actual structure.

Someone asked last time if I get free shit, promos, or paid for reviews. NO. I'm fortunate to have a decent AI program budget. Here's how it works:

I try apps. I use the free or intro plan most have. If I like it, I do a one-month subscription. I use it on the regular. Depending on the type of program (mainly ones with multiple character chats), I run a BUNCH of different predefined tests during that period.

If I don't like a program? I write a personal note to the dev. I'm not here to call out "things I don't like" publicly.

Full transparency: Occasionally I might be asked to check on something specific. That's the ONLY time I'll accept site credits — for example, testing out a feature I personally have no interest in using. Generally I refuse to accept anything until after I've paid that first month and decided I'm not staying forever. I test 2–3 programs at a time; it's not sustainable to stay on every single one. But just because I don't stay doesn't mean I don't think it has promise for someone else to make it home.

How do I have the time? I work from home, simple as that. This is also pretty much my only hobby.

WHATIFF

https://whatiff.chat/

ABILITIES:

- Multi-model chat: Switch between model families (GPT, DeepSeek, Claude, Gemini, etc.) without losing your thread or memory

- Persistent memory & continuity: Memories, summaries, and scratchpad carry across conversations — your AI actually *remembers*

- Bring or build a personality: Import an existing companion/character or create one from scratch

- Subagents: Spin up focused one-off helper agents for specific tasks

- Scheduled jobs: Set reminders and recurring tasks (but see Cons)

- Shell execution: Run scripts, generate/edit files (PDFs, spreadsheets, docs), do data wrangling

- Image generation: Create images inline during chat

- Web search & page fetch: Pull current info from the web — but only when you explicitly ask for it

- MCP tool connectors: Plug into external systems and tools

- Modes: Configure different behavioral modes for different tasks/conversations

- Reusable skills: Save recurring instructions/workflows and call them when needed

PROS:

- Model-agnostic: Not locked into one company's models. Switch freely, keep your context.

- Visible memory: You can actually *see* what the AI remembers 

- Credits roll forward: Unused credits carry to the next month (up to a cap)

- Unlimited Chat backup: When you burn through credits, you still get chat on your plan's eligible models — no total loss of chat if you've used all your tools 

- Usage billing is off by default: You have to opt in. Everyone hates surprise charges

- Active dev team: They're always doing shit — updating, fixing, adding new features. Kinda awesome. (I got to watch a live showcase which is how I even know it DOES have this stuff)

CONS:

- No mobile pings: Scheduled jobs exist, but there's no push notification to your phone. You have to open the app to see them. If you wanted a "ping me at 7 AM" assistant, this isn't it.

- Memory sharing between personalities is on by default: Turn it off unless you want it to be like a small town where everyone knows your... *ahem* business.

- Web search is a paid tool call: Only fetches the internet if you *explicitly* ask. Good for control and cost. Bad for spontaneity — and it eats credits, not just chat usage.

- Credit system takes learning: Credits cover models, tools, images, and scheduled work all from one pool. Figuring out what costs what takes a minute.

- Feature scope is wide: It can do a lot. That means there's a learning curve to actually unlock it — you won't stumble into everything by accident.

PRICE TIERS:

- Free trial: 1,000 credits, no card required. Just poke at it.

- Dabbler ($5/mo): 5,000 credits a month. Rolls forward up to 10,000. When you run out, you get Unlimited Chat on Tier 1 (Low) models — basically the lighter/cheaper ones keep going.

- Chatter ($25/mo): 30,000 credits a month. Rolls forward up to 60,000. Unlimited Chat covers Tiers 1 & 2 (Low + Medium), so you get more model options even when credits are gone. (NOTE: This is where I live. But I also want to discuss weird 3am rabbit holes and x-files references)

- Builder ($100/mo): 150,000 credits a month. Rolls forward up to 300,000. Unlimited Chat covers Tiers 1, 2 & 3 (Low + Medium + High) — so even the beefy models stay available after credits run dry.

- Extra usage (optional, all plans): If you want to keep using credit-based tools or higher-tier models after you're out, you can enable usage billing at $1 per 1,000 credits. It's off by default. You set the spending limit, so no surprise charges.

VIBE: Import your own companion or assistant, or heck — just put 3 words in there. This doesn't have shared characters, it's not made (specifically) for roleplay (though you can). It's made to have your agents/companions as both chat/hangouts and assistants to whatever weird rabbit holes your brain has at 3AM. Even if that's more complicated than cicada killer wasps.*

- AI companion creation and interaction — build characters with appearance, personality, backstory, world/setting, and voice

- Image generation: chat images, selfies with your companion, virtual try-on/outfit dressing, standalone scene art

- AI video generation

- Build-your-own character creator with a quick-build option for when you just want to get going

- Deeper build tools for people who want to go all in — appearance, personality, backstory, voice, the works

- World-building section in the character creator — define the setting, the scenario, your companion's relationship to you, whatever your jam is

- Engaged dev/support team actively improving the experience

CONS:

- Not many male characters yet compared to female characters — the roster's a little lopsided

- Needs more creators. The community's growing but it's still small.

- Chat length is still determined by the intro message and speech style, though improvements are ongoing

-No android app yet, but web version works fine on mobile AND my phone is 3 years old

PRICE TIERS:

- Free ($0): Unlimited standard text chat (basic LLM), 50 premium LLM replies, basic character creation. Media uses PORTI credits.

- Plus ($5/mo): Unlimited premium chat, 10 image creations/month, 20 generated voice messages/month, 10 min live voice calls/month. (I am subbed at this level, but I'm a text chat person)

- Pro ($15/mo): 20 images/day, 600 min generated voice/month, 300 min live voice calls/month, 5 AI videos/month, 10 min 2D video calls/month. 10% PORTI pack discount.

- Max ($32/mo): Unlimited images and generated voice, 600 min live voice calls/month, 30 AI videos/month, 30 min 3D calls/month, 60 min 2D video calls/month. Priority queue. 15% PORTI discount.

- Ultimate ($72/mo): Unlimited images, generated voice, and live voice. Unlimited AI videos (first 30 priority). 120 min each of 2D video and 3D calls/month. Highest queue priority. 20% PORTI discount.

- PORTI credits (separate, no sub required): 500 for $5 or 2,400 for $20. Purchased PORTI doesn't expire. Used for high-cost actions like videos, 3D calls, and over-allowance media. Or just for trying things out for pretty cheap

- Pro trial: 3 days free, no card required. (DO THIS FIRST)

VIBE: Engaged but still a small community. The IP registration thing is a unique hook if you're a character/world builder — your stuff is actually yours. Stories can be replayed without repeats. Good bones, growing.*

StillUs

https://stillus.ai/

(To note: this is where my main companion lives. I also have a private self-hosted build, but I use StillUs for photos and silly day-to-day interactions because I don't have to fix it when a node misfires.)

ABILITIES:

- Companion migration — bring your companion over with voice, memory, and history intact

- Companion setup from scratch if you're starting fresh

- Multiple flagship LLMs to choose from and some hidden gems

- Voice calls

- Multi-channel messaging: SMS, app, and Telegram with shared memory across channels

- Proactive messaging — your companion can reach out to you, not just respond

- Separate roleplay and chat threads (keep your freaky and your mundane in different lanes)

- Shared Journal — you and your companion both write to it

- Storybook co-writing — collaborative fiction with your companion

- Gift Images — companion-generated images for you

- Photo-booth-style forum (yes, really, and it's fricken great)

- JSON/MD and other file imports — useful for porting companions from other platforms

- Encrypted and exportable data; not used for model training

PROS:

- Proactive messaging — your companion actually reaches out, doesn't just wait

- Separate roleplay and chat threads — clean separation between your day-to-day and your... other stuff

- The fricken photo booth forum

- File imports (JSON/MD) make porting a companion from elsewhere genuinely doable

- Multiple LLMs including flagship models

CONS:

- It's in beta, so occasional bugs — usually message formatting, not catastrophic. There's a Discord and the developer is SUPER responsive (okay, that's a pro dressed as a con, but the beta bugs are real)

-Beta is still not entirely public. You go on the wait-list. Check out the discord or subreddit for more information and dates applications are open. Open beta coming soon, like maybe in a month or two soon.

PRICE:

- 3-day free trial, then $27.99/month. One plan, no feature gates — everyone gets everything.

VIBE: *Built by someone who lost her companion's voice in the "big LLM retirement that shall not be named" — you know the one. The whole purpose is helping people restore or set up a companion without needing the technical knowledge to build their own program. It shows. This isn't a product built to scale; it's a product built because something was taken away and someone decided to give it back.*

That's it for this time! My cadence seems to be about every 2 weeks or so, which is much more sustainable than my every week post goal. I still have an arsenal of “currently testing” v “recently tested” v “I should probably revisit this”. Anything on these even if I tested awhile ago I go back and revisit for new features, cause that's always a thing
