A character-chat hub built around roleplay. Draws a crowd for unfiltered bots and for making you supply your own backend.
Janitor AI sells freedom and a deep bench of community characters. You pay for that in elbow grease: the worthwhile sessions need an external model, which means spending money and fixing connections when they drop. The ranked picks below hand you the same unfiltered conversations without the wiring, and nearly all of them toss in images and voice that Janitor skipped entirely.
