For those who don't know what AI roleplay chatbots are, here's the quick summary:

There AI programs where users can create bots for interactive storytelling. The overall system leverages LLMs (such as Claude, GPT, or homebrew models). Users create characters by outlining their:

  • Personality: character traits + narrative style and guardrails
  • Scenario: what is the situation the roleplayer is faced with, and
  • Introductory Message: The lead-up that the roleplayer reacts to, aka "the hook"

A creator can keep their bots private or make them publicly available on the bot platform. Some sites also allow bots to be hidden from the public directory while remaining accessible via a private link.

Features vary based on platform. Some sites allow for both text and voice-based roleplay. Others allow the bot user to create image gens that match what is happening in the roleplay scene. There are sites that allow creators to build custom models (layers that give the core LLM additional instructions for output generation). Also, it's not uncommon for one platform to introduce a new feature (like unlocking an image gallery based on roleplay events), and for other sites to add that functionality a few months later.

These platforms typically operate on a subscription model in which you get a finite number of credits. A few sites offer higher-tiered options that let you get unlimited credits on lower-tiered models, or buy additional credits à la carte.

As for compensating creators, some do revenue splits. Others offer tip jars. The downside is that the cash-out threshold is typically $50, which requires a LOT of bot interactions or donations to reach. The bot creators I know who earn income from this do so through commissions and subscription sites like Ko-fi or SubscribeStar.

Now that I got all that out of the way -

Yes, I create bots. I create NSFW bots, and I lean towards fantasy kinks/fetishes that few understand.

I also create satire based on overdone tropes in the bot community, mixed with pop-culture absurdity. Like the weird shit that kinky furries could turn into a TikTok challenge (saying this as a furry). Or yandere tropes (or any -dere trope, actually).

You've been warned, and now here's where you can find me on the various platforms:
