A local, AI-powered chat, roleplay, and game engine built around one idea: you install it, you run it, and it just works. Oh, and don't forget about the part where you have fun! ALSO, HEY, LOOK, IT'S FREE.
Created with agentic use in mind, allowing multiple requests at once. Everything is connected. Chat with your characters OOC about your roleplays. Have them create RP scenes for you. All designed with simplicity in mind: we don't want to spend hours on setup, we just want to goon play.

Three chat modes — Conversation (Discord-style DMs), Roleplay (immersive RPG with sprites and backgrounds), and Game (AI Game Master with party, quests, and combat). Characters can share memory across modes. Create or import characters, search the Chub.ai bot browser, organize chats into folders, branch conversations, swipe between alternate responses, and import from SillyTavern.
Character expression sprites with automatic emotion switching, custom scene backgrounds, dynamic weather overlays, two visual themes (Y2K Marinara and SillyTavern classic), and light/dark mode.
25+ built-in agents that run alongside your chat — world state tracking, quest management, combat, expression detection, background selection, narrative direction, prose analysis, Spotify DJ, CYOA choices, and more. All disabled by default; enable only what you want, or create custom agents.
Preset system with drag-and-drop prompt ordering, lorebooks with keyword triggers, an AI lorebook maker, world info inspector, regex scripts, and a macro/template system.
OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, OpenRouter, NanoGPT, Mistral, Cohere, Pollinations, Stability AI, Together AI, NovelAI, ComfyUI, SD Web UI, and custom OpenAI-compatible endpoints. API keys are encrypted at rest with AES-256. Per-chat connection overrides.
Export chats as JSONL or plain text. Fully local SQLite database — all data stays on your machine. No account required.
