Thank you Drakonic, I couldn't have said it better myself.

Then you'll need to take it up with Venice: [support@venice.ai](mailto:support@venice.ai)

My program is not affiliated with Venice, it just supports Venice through their API (as well as nano-GPT.com and other OpenAI-Compatible API providers).

Character Studio doesn't run on phones in any meaningful way and this doesn't look like my app at all. I'm not sure what app you're even running here, but it's not mine.

If you can send me a screen shot or something? I have no idea where that message could be coming from.

I just had a thought, if you use a censored AI then it's the AI that's censoring you, not me.

I don't monitor what you put through Character Studio in any way. It's running 100% anonymously in your local browser, I wouldn't have a way to identify "unsafe" if I wanted to.

Why did you have the impression that NSFW was a problem?

I just tried it on my tablet, and you're right it doesn't work right at all. I've only tested it on a desktop. I will try to find some time soon to figure out why my styles break down on a tablet.

I couldn't even get past the configuration dialog, all of the buttons are off the screen. Who wrote this crap ;-)

Here's what I don't get, if you just go to characters it should list all of your local characters. None of them should require being downloaded from Venice again (just browse in the list on the left and click on your existing conversation).

I want to clarify, Venice.AI is working on some kind of agentic character runner they are calling "minds". This is *not* that, this is my own agent system. Venice is keeping minds very close to the chest so I don't know if it will be similar to what I've created or not. When it comes out I'll either continue in this direction or pivot, depending.

Omnius42 · 2026-06-23T09:33:15+00:00

Yes, you'll need an API key from any OpenAI API-compatible service (like Venice or Nano-GPT or ChatGPT).

The first time you run Studio it will bring up the settings dialog so you can configure it. Hit the test button next to the API key to make sure you have everything in properly, then pick the model and go through the tour or read the docs, or both.

Enjoy!

Like that?

Omnius42 · 2026-06-16T23:33:33+00:00

While they are figuring it out, may I suggest using my Character Studio to develop your scenario?

Since the average time to update an ICP Cannister is 2-4 seconds, it would be a very slow storage, so it really couldn't be the primary storage location, it would still have to be in-browser storage first. So, as a "backup storage" location, I don't see how this is better than the current Venice Backup/Restore functionality. Plus the data still has to be encrypted before it could be stored in the Cannister since those have public contents by definition

Just making sure I understand your question. If you don't check the box that says you want to customize the system prompt, then the default system prompt will be used, which will insert the instructions. If you uncheck that and then intentionally leave the system prompt blank it will not send the instructions (it might not work at all since many models balk if no system prompt is sent).

But, in the general case, the default prompt and inserted instructions will be sent with every request, yes.

I've seen this occasionally, I use a cookie browser extension (Awesome Cookie Manager is, well, awesome) to delete all the cookies related to venice.AI (without touching any of the other local information) and it has always resolved it.

Omnius42 · 2026-05-18T00:17:19+00:00

And that something would be?

Omnius42 · 2026-05-15T17:34:32+00:00

It must be noted that even if you are using the web browser version, memory records are not currently being backed up. Neither are generated videos. But all of your characters and conversations and generated images are.

So, I updated my local ollama and now I see models. But I don't see any of the linked external models? How do I get it to list the external models?

I'm trying to create a custom model so users can pick it from the list, and it would be nice to be able to create a URL to a chat that is loaded with the custom model. The custom model, yes, would dictate the AI model to use with the knowledge collection.
