Chat with millions of AI characters or build your own
Browse and chat with a vast library of community and official characters across genres and fandoms.
Design a character's look, backstory, personality and voice, then share it with the community.
Talk with characters using voice chats and Voice Notes, not just typed messages.
Long-form, in-character conversations built for storytelling and immersion rather than quick answers.
One OpenAI-compatible API gateway for text, image, and video models
Use a single API key and base URL with OpenAI SDKs and compatible tools, or the bare host with Anthropic and Gemini SDKs, to reach text, image, video, and audio models from many providers.
Configure a primary route plus ordered backups for a regular API key so requests can fail over to another eligible route when an upstream provider has trouble.
Every request logs its token usage and cost in the console, with model prices listed beside the official rate for each routing group and billing unit.
Invite admins and members by email, assign unlimited, one-time, or monthly budgets, issue keys prefixed with your company name, top up, and audit every action.
