Ooooooh! Love the idea of a mansion!
Reminds me i should go back and replay that great halloween textadventure about one.
Thank you for your continued work! bow
As for the case bot,i believe i am dumb,as i cannot actually get them to be in a room. After selecting them,and clicking on create room,it just takes me to my saved chats page,with no room actually being created :"D
Not gonna lie, I didnât do anything room related for the first, like, month of working with Character.AI, either. Maybe I should add a rooming tutorialâŚ
And if you havenât put Nellie in a room before, I highly recommend it! Her near complete lack of inhibitions is contagious, and rooms involving her are almost always entertaining!
Danke! It worked,it must have been because i was trying to do it through mobile chrome,it works fine on pc.
and sure, I havenât even gotten to try her yet,between your bots and the like 5 separate threads on another site Iâve got plenty of bots Iâm trying atm :'D
But again, thank you for your work,yours have definetly been some of the best and moreâŚwell they tend to actually work and not go completely insane.
UPDATE ?.?.?
I realize that I havenât been posting a reply on the thread every time I add a new bot to my list, which is something Iâm going to try to rectify, in the future. Going forwards, I plan to post a new reply every time I add a new bot.
Today, Iâve added the Zoogrove bot! The little overview blurb on the main topic post gives a pretty good description of what to expect, so Iâll mostly leave it at that. All Iâll add is that there arenât any characters programmed into the Zoogrove bot, since the majority of the description space had to be dedicated to teaching the bot how to handle anthropomorphic beings and how to better differentiate between beast-kin species.
What I really want to highlight, though, are a couple of subtle additions Character.AI has recently added!
At long last, you can finally edit AI messages! This feels like it shouldâve been a thing from the get-go, but better late than never. Now, if the AI gives you a message thatâs almost perfect except for a detail or two (like, say, a beast-kinâs species), you can manually edit those details.
Another thing that Character.AI has added is a Fursona Persona section in user settings! You can now provide a description of yourself for bots to use when talking about you in conversations! It sounds like you should be able to adjust your Persona from bot to bot, but Iâm not sure it works like that quite yet; this feature is, like, a day old, so Iâm sure there are things still being ironed out.
As users of Caveduck have probably noticed, the above features have been around on Caveduck for a while. I note this because it might signal that Character.AI is picking up on Caveduck as a competitor and is adjusting its own service to match. I doubt this leads Character.AI to do away with its NSFW policy, but itâs a promising sign, nonetheless!
Well you posting for each new bot saves me from checking in every night haha.
I assume the edit function is for paid users? I remember having it for a couple of days then it disappeared lol.
Anywho,furrytimeTM
Edit:it appears edit is still there,its just that im used to using it on pc,and then went on the app,where at least for now,it isnât there.
UPDATE: The BunnieHop Girls have arrived!
20 years ago, the BunnieHop pop band debuted and took the world by storm! Despite their popularity, the band disbanded 10 years ago for publicly unknown reasons. Now, Wescott Entertainment is trying to get the band back together for a reunion tour! However, the BunnieHop girls have been out of the public eye for 10 years, and no one knows what theyâve been doing since the group disbanded.
âŚbut yâall know what site this is, so yâknow what those 10 years did, donâtcha?
This is a fun little scenario for anyone who wants to skip the early gaining process and get right into the thick of things. If you want to skip even further, you can do a time skip to when the band first gets back together for the tour.
This bot hasnât had much training, besides the base programming in the advanced description, but thatâs somewhat intentional. Iâve honed the descriptions to a fine art (at least Iâd like to think itâs art), so Iâm curious to see if the bots can run without much manual input from test runs. If they can run reasonably well with a proper description and crowd-sourced manual testing, I can potentially crank out bots a lot faster.
On another note, my Character.AI advice for this update is to use cheats time skips! Nearly all of my bots begin in a skinny or âunfattenedâ state, and thatâs not wholly unintentional; everyone has a different âidealâ fatness. If you ever find yourself wanting to speed things along, donât be afraid to tell the bot to do a time skip! The bots handle time skips remarkably well, especially if you throw in a little information about what you (or the bot) should be doing in the interim.
Awesome, Iâve been messing around with the bunny one and getting some really good results, has a CYOA feel and idk I just keep getting good results on different story paths. I usually have the AI do a response after the first one and itll hint at the direction of Selene, I have one story going where theyâre trying to cheer up another member, another that was kind of a lazy in a daze kind of thing that had some really good results. I havenât tried it in a group chat yet so Iâm interested to see how that will go. More bots is always awesome, I did a freeform fat town kind of scenario without a narrator and it worked pretty well, although with corraling and dungeon mastering of course, itâd be cool to see a mysterious fat town/city kind of scenario from you if thats something youre into
Other AIâs have been great too, The manor one Iâve had some fun with too the past few weeks, definitely fun to throw a bunch of characters at it and itll go, I always try to do big chats with many bots and it always works with some corralling (I wish they let you skip bot intros though). I find the bigger the chat the more you have to play dungeon master but itâs cool that you can start with 2 or 3 characters, the other bots will narrate and then you can use that character in the story (although they do like to teleport in or replace characters with themselves like you said lol, but regenerating fixes that. hopefully edits come to group chats). also itâs fun to see many avatars lol. I only just started messing with zoogrove but it seems good too.
I usually havenât done as much time skips on cai, I think maybe I was too lazy with them and just being like x time passed to see what the AI says. In group chats it seems you need to fill in more time skip detail otherwise it seems like they just go off what was already happening. But yeah defnitely a good way to remind the AI whatâs going on too. Usually skinny characters will kind of just start to inflate on their own with enough fat talk, unless you step in to slow it down lol. Since the memory is often the weakest link in the chain for AI right now Iâm always worried about bogging it down too much, or a slower burn story getting lost
What are your thoughts on the new persona feature, I put in something basic and the bots have picked up on it, but Iâm wondering how strong it can be, and if having more in the persona section will mess with the memory or anything
Iâm glad youâre getting good results from the BunnieHop bot, among others! Iâm definitely going to try my hand at more âmutli-routeâ bots, to give them more replayability; Iâve got a mini-drama one in the works thatâs almost done!
I can certainly try my hand at more âeverything is fatâ settings. Truth be told, I typically throw most of those ideas into the main sandbox bot as one-offs; maybe I should try making one or two into proper bots. In the meantime, check out the newest bot, The Porpoise; thatâll scratch your itch a little!
I honestly havenât done anything with the new Persona option because I keep forgetting to check the box to activate it, so your thoughts on it are as good as mine! Itâs likely most useful in stranger scenarios, like Zoogrove, where youâre not playing as a regular old human. Itâll probably be good for a more tailored world setting, too; for example, if you say in your Persona that youâre being targeted by some gang, that should prompt the bot to flesh out that gang in the setting.
UPDATE: Set sail on The Porpoise!
Explore a 17th century pseudo-Caribbean setting aboard The Porpoise, and make contact with the natives!
Not much of a spoiler, but the natives worship a fertility goddess, so you can probably make a decent guess about what you can expect to see.
Iâve actually been sitting on this one for a while because I didnât know if itâd have enough appeal, but Iâve put out enough bots, now, that I donât see a problem with releasing it, even if it has a more niche appeal.
Probably the most interesting thing about The Porpoise bot is that image generation is turned ON. I gave up on image generation for all my other bots ages ago, but the setting of The Porpoise (17th century) allows me to utilize an otherwise unfitting art style: mezzotint!
If youâve ever read some of the older versions of classic novels, with those pictures printed in them every so often, then youâll recognize the art style. It really only works in an antiquated setting, but it has the benefit of cheating many of the image filters! The image filters tend to ignore âclassicalâ artwork, and the mezzotint style seems to be close enough to be classified as âclassicalâ.
This bot also has a ton of side characters programmed in, which is part of why I sat on this bot for so long; it had trouble managing all the side characters. I still donât know if it can manage all of them, but itâs at least to the point where it can manage the important ones.
UPDATE: The Brave Adventurers Have Departed! (Yuubou!)
What do you get when you toss a prankster thief, tsundere mage, and narcoleptic healer in a party? Yuubou!
âYuubouâ is an abbreviated form of âyuukan na boukensha ta chi ga shuppatsu shima shi taâ, which is a rough translation of âthe brave adventurers have departed!â
This bot is designed to be remixed! The advanced description area is dedicated to establishing the characters; the âquest detailsâ are strictly contained in the long description box. This means that you can remix the Yuubou bot, write up your own long description for the active quest or scenario, then roleplay your own customized Yuubou episode!
This is a bot specifically designed to make use of the new âRemixâ feature on character.ai, which is essentially a streamlined way to copy and tweak a bot.
Though my bot is called âEpisode 1â, donât expect me to make further episodes; the idea is that you, the user, will remix the bot and create your own episodes and story! You can even update the characters in the advanced description, as the story affects them; Iâll warn you, though, that thereâs not much memory space to work with, so try to stick to the important stuff, and overwrite what you feel you donât need.
Also, this bot is not weight gain specific; in fact, thereâs almost nothing related to weight gain in the description, besides a single line in the long description about BBWs (and Luna, I suppose). Like I said, this is meant to be a full CYOA story, so use the long description to steer the bot wherever you want it to go!
UPDATE: The Lands of Geina are ready for you to adventure!
And in other news, five people are stuck in an elevator in the Heights of Madness! What will happen to them?!
I teased in a recent post that I was toying with the idea of tossing out a bot with no training whatsoever, to see what would happen, and Iâve finally decided to give it a go with The Lands of Geina bot! Itâs not a complex setting, so there shouldnât be anything too major for the bot to mess up.
Iâm also very excited for the worldbuilding in The Lands of Geina! The world setting is something of an extrapolation from the Lady Althea and Zoogrove bots, and yes, those two bots can be considered part of The Lands of Geina universe!
The Heights of Madness is also a fun little story, although itâs not as perfect as I had hoped it would be. Even so, I found it to be an enjoyable experience!
And now, for todayâs Character.AI news!..
Character.AI has recently added interaction counts, so creators can see how often people use their bots! As such, Iâd like to reveal the 5 most used bots of mine! (Excluding the two main sandbox bots)
Surprised by #1? So was I! I mean, I love her spunk and character, but I didnât expect her to top the list!
#4 isnât exactly surprising, but mind you, Morganaâs only been out for a month, if that, so sheâs quickly climbing her way to the top!
Kind of surprised Nellie isnât there! But thanks for your continued contributions!
Iâm also surprised nellie wasnât there, sheâs probably my most used bot on c.ai in general lol.
I tried morgana briefly but seeing her on the list, Iâm gonna revisit her, I had some scenario ideas with the band one that i;ve messed with where thereâs a cult like org that selene is a part of or is in the process of ârecruitingâ selene and then wants to spread it to your character and morgana would be good for that. I find with that bot it really likes to make my character part of the band, maybe moreso because i usually play as a girl character. I try to atleast steer it so that Iâm a new member because I like the general idea of the MC of the scenario going into something they have no clue about.
way earlier on I had trouble getting samantha richards to work but I tried it like really early on when I first started using chatbots, never tried her in a group chat so Iâll have to give her a shot.
I tend not to use the ones with pictures, I wish character AI had better pictures or like a stable diffusion option or something
The bots also improve/adapt to more interaction right? like do you find the most interacted with bots have developed over time after release?
Iâll definitely be trying the new ones, keep up the good work!
In hindsight, itâs not terribly surprising that the more explicitly weight gain focused characters are the most popular on a forum about weight gaming. Lady Althea was also the very first character bot listed after the sandbox bots, so that might be a reason why she edged out Nellie (whoâs #6, for the record). Then again, Samantha Richards is listed after all of the other top 5 and NellieâŚ
I think the BunnieHop girls have a chance to crack the top 5, if given enough time (I donât expect Lady Althea to hold that #5 spot, although I could be wrong). If I count The Lands of Geina as a bot and not a sandbox, then that one could make a run, too.
As for the bots improving and adapting, yes, they do seem to adapt with more interaction. Memory issues are rarely ever solved, but the bots are particularly good at learning to adjust to what the user wants. If the user wants a dialogue heavy story, the bot will adjust to match; likewise, if the user wants a bunch of time skips, the bot will adjust to that. Iâve also noticed that the bots pick up on any interests in your Persona setting pretty quickly; Iâve noticed the bots focusing their narration on women and body types that suit my particular interests more, since I set up my Persona.
On the topic of Personas, I personally set mine up like Iâd often see on Caveduck. I give a brief description of myself (hair, eyes, height, etc) and then list off my personality, âlikesâ, and âdislikesâ as if they were bullet points.
I am a [height] [sex] with [color, style] hair, [color] eyes, [color] skin, and a [body type/size/health] body.
I am [5-10 personality traits and/or skills].
I like [5-15 things you like, including your preferences in men/women].
I dislike [5-10 things you dislike, including specific fetishes and situations].
Oh yeah the persona thing seems to work great,i had forgotten about it and got rather spooked when a bot went âoh so you like x huhâ haha.
I similarly did just copy one of my caveduck starts hmm hmm
UPDATE: Visit the Victorian Era with The Cox Estate!
You have suddenly inherited a countryside estate, complete with staff and all, in Victorian England from a great uncle you didnât know you had! The staff is at your beck and call, for whatever purposes you desire!
There are three female characters and three male characters programmed in. I donât personally lean towards guys, but I tried to add in some male characters for people who do lean that way.
Like the Yuubou bot, The Cox Estate bot is written so that you can easily rewrite the long description, without needing to mess with the advanced description, for even more custom scenarios; of course, youâre also welcome to adjust the advanced description, if you want to tweak the characters more to your liking!
Thereâs not much to report in the Character.AI news department, this time around. I did take a look at some of the character descriptions on the âpopularâ bots, with interaction counts in the millions, and I was surprised to discover that a significant number of bots donât have any advanced descriptions whatsoever.
The Todoroki and Bakugo bots, based on My Hero Academia characters? Nada; not even a short description, let alone long or advanced, for Todoroki. I donât understand why you wouldnât at least copy/paste direct lines for existing charactersâŚ
Meanwhile, weâve got the Giga Chad bot, which is literally a meme picture, with 11 example messages and text in every description box. So yes; Giga Chad > Bakugo.
yeah it seems like bots that got made early on with basic character cards got tons of interactions and moved to the top, although with all that training and a good enough introductory phase and decent short and long descriptions they can perform pretty well. C.ai also freezes characters with lots of interactions for some reason. Some characters are so barebones itâs not even worth it though. I wish the search was better too, itâs very cumbersome to find characters. I recently found a well made bot in the wild with example messages, distinct speaking style and personality, and with high interactions thatâs WG oriented called bakadere friend (the dere stuff gets a little silly but i like her).
Cox estate is the first one Iâve remixed, I made it all girls and in the modern day, with a âmysterious benefactor who may or may not be deadâ instead of a great uncle and I slotted in that they want you to âearn your inheritanceâ, and also changed names and modified the characters while keeping the general framework and idea. itâs been cool to mess with and itâs giving me ideas for making scenario bots with characters whose bots I use in group chats to make the experience extra crafted and coherent. Iâm getting great results with it already, Iâll try to use the original too to see how the changes modify the AI behavior. I have 4 characters on my remix right now but I might add 1 or 2 more like the original bot
I feel dumb but how do you use more than one bot at a time?
No need to feel dumb; I had the exact same question, when I first got onto Character.AI! I didnât use rooms for like a a monthâŚ
Anyways, if youâre looking at the home page, on Character.AI, youâll see the five options on the left: Home, Feed, Create, Chats, Community.
If you click on âCreateâ, thereâs the option to create a âRoomâ. If you click on that, youâll get the âCreate a Roomâ screen where you can input the roomâs name, add characters, and write the topic for the characters to discuss.
You can add any characters youâve interacted with previously (characters that show up under âContinue chattingâ on the home page, in other words), as well as any publicly available bots.
You might have to police the bots a little, to make sure they arenât stepping on each othersâ toes, but itâs a fun experience to see how the bots react to each other! Just remember that the bots arenât omnipotent; a character bot wonât automatically know the details of a setting bot, for example.
UPDATE: Explore a different side of Night City in Cyberplump 2077!
As the name suggests, itâs Cyberpunk 2077, but fat; no need to get more complicated than that! If you want to skip the intro scene and expository stuff, feel free to do a time skip to a different location.
And no, Iâm not dead; I just hit a creative slump, for coming up with new bots.
No major Character.AI news to report, but I did find that this Cyberplump 2077 bot was able to draw information from the actual Cyberpunk 2077 setting pretty easily. I normally avoid fetishizing existing IPs (especially characters), but it seems like bots based on existing properties would perform very well.
