lolmeup / opencharacters

Simple little web interface for creating characters and chatting with them. It's basically a single HTML file - no server. Share characters using a link (character data is stored within the URL itself). All chat data is stored in your browser using IndexedDB. Currently supports OpenAI APIs and ~any Hugging Face model.

Similar to CharacterAI, but open source, and with much deeper character customization.

Features:

• The whole web app is a single HTML file - no server (serve it locally if you want).
• All your data is stored in your browser's local storage (again, there is no server).
• Share characters with a link - all character data is embedded within the link.
• Auto-summarization algorithm (for old messages) which extends effective character memory/context size massively.
• Characters automatically compress messages into 'memories' and retrieve relevant memories based on context. Can handle as many memories as you need - tens of thousands or more.
• Add lorebook(s) to your character, and add thread-specific lore with the /lore command.
• Fully extensible with custom code. See examples here.
  • Give your character access to the internet
  • Create your own slash commands
  • Give your character a video avatar (custom code has its own iframe & can display arbitrary content)
  • Create a "game master" with a separate AI-powered process that tracks your abilities, inventory, etc.
  • Create your own memory structures (embedding, retrieval, etc.)
  • Give your character an internal thought process that runs alongside the chat
  • Give your character a voice via the browser's built-in TTS, or via an external API like ElevenLabs
  • Characters can edit their own personality and custom code - self-improving and change over time
  • Allow your character to execute Python or JavaScript code.
• Currently supports OpenAI APIs and most Hugging Face models.
• Easily import character files and conversation data most other formats.
• Send new feature ideas or bug reports here or on our Discord server.
