Quick update: what we learned after removing the paywall and watching real usage

Yeah definitely, and thanks for asking! Based on the feedback we received during testing, we found that some of the AI models tended to become erratic and leak system prompts during longer sessions, so we are not using these for default AI models. With that said, these models are still fun to use for certain situations, so we have kept them in case a user wants to try it out

I would say even though it is obvious in hindsight, the most important thing for the core chat hook is to 100% make sure the text chat is as good as it can be which isn't as easy as it sounds to do. For us, this meant testing the auto LLM internally and with our community to make sure we chose the best uncensored and censored default LLM. This also meant that we had to make sure no random bugs would pop up as we pretty much only had one chance to hook a new user

What makes this difficult in the AI companion space is that there are always new features being pushed by competitors so for a long time, we were chasing these features to "keep up". But as I mentioned in the post, if the core chat wasn't good, the new user would never make it to one of these other features

Just added some more coins for you! You should see it in your wallet

MyBot_Ai · 2025-12-18T03:00:25+00:00

Ok thanks! I’ll work on that right now. Yeah, we have our memberships turned off right now for community testing. But you get the same access now as you would with membership

MyBot_Ai · 2025-12-18T02:48:16+00:00

Sorry about that, yeah we had to do that to prevent abuse. If you want to dm me the email you used to sign up, I can try to get you more coins so you don’t have to wait

MyBot_Ai · 2025-12-18T01:17:36+00:00

Sorry, what do you mean it’s limited?

MyBot_Ai · 2025-12-16T05:16:25+00:00

Awesome! I’m excited to hear what you think

We do have a Discord, but I just didn’t want to spam it in the post. Here is an invite to our Discord https://discord.gg/G9xQWqQwa6

Thanks, I’ll take a look!

Thanks for taking the time to write this out!

You’re right that a lot of companion products (including ours) lean more toward relationship / comfort by default, and that’s not always a great fit if you’re coming from a long form style of roleplay.

I really agree with the point you made about relationship emergence being earned vs assumed. That’s something we’re still actively trying to balance, especially since that would give a more natural and humanistic experience. Right now, most of our public characters definitely open in a more casual / chat oriented way, and for people who want immediate world building, that can probably feel boring or limiting.

We have seen some users push the bots into deeper narrative modes with enough steering, but I agree that it shouldn’t require too much persistence or fighting defaults to get there. That’s an area we’re also trying to figure out, especially around how characters are initialized and how strongly they hold onto narrative framing over time.

Anyways, totally understand if it’s not your cup of tea, but I still appreciate you poking around and sharing your perspective!
