JanitorAI - AI-powered Chatbots for Roleplay
Visit Tool →
JanitorAI Brief Overview
JanitorAI is a character-focused AI chat platform designed for interactive conversations, roleplay, and story-driven “chat with a persona” experiences. Instead of chatting with a single generic assistant, you browse or create characters that have their own personality, tone, and backstory—then chat with them in an immersive, fiction-friendly format.
A key concept with JanitorAI is that the chat quality can depend on which language model you connect it to. Many users start with the platform’s built-in option (often referenced as a free/beta model) and then optionally connect a third-party AI provider using an API key for higher-quality responses. This makes JanitorAI flexible: you can treat it as a free-to-try roleplay sandbox, or you can upgrade the “brain” behind your characters by connecting a paid model.
How-to-Use
- Create an account / log in on JanitorAI.
- Browse characters (community-made) or choose Create a Character to build your own.
- Open chat settings / API settings and pick your AI option:
- Use the default/free model (if available) to start quickly.
- Or connect your own API key from a supported AI provider for better performance (keep your key private).
- Start a chat with a character and guide the experience using clear prompts (setting scene, relationship, goals, tone).
- Refine behavior by editing the character’s profile fields (backstory, greeting, personality details) and adjusting chat preferences (tone, length, style).
- Control visibility and content style (commonly via settings such as public/private character visibility and limited vs. more open-ended roleplay options).
JanitorAI Key Features and Functions
- Character library & discovery: Browse a large catalog of user-created characters across genres and themes.
- Character creation tools: Build custom personas with structured fields like description, scenario, greeting message, and behavioral guidance.
- Model flexibility: Use a built-in/free option (where available) or connect external models via API settings for higher-quality conversations.
- Roleplay-friendly chat experience: Optimized for longer, story-like replies, in-character dialogue, and scenario continuity.
- Conversation controls: Options commonly include editing or removing parts of chat context, adjusting response behavior, and tuning how the character talks.
- Privacy & publishing controls: Create characters for personal use or share them with the community depending on your visibility settings.
Pricing
JanitorAI is commonly described as free to start, especially if you use its built-in/free (beta) model option. However, there are two main cost paths to understand:
- Free / low-cost use: You may be able to chat at no direct cost using the platform’s default model (often with usage limits or occasional slowdowns during peak demand).
- Bring-your-own-model costs: If you connect a third-party AI provider via API key (for example, premium models), you’ll typically pay that provider’s usage-based fees (often token-based). JanitorAI acts as the interface while the external provider bills you.
- Optional subscription (may vary): Multiple third-party tool directories and reviews list a “Pro” plan around $9.99/month (and sometimes $99.99/year) for higher limits and priority access. Some directories report different Pro pricing, so the most reliable approach is to verify the current plan options directly in your JanitorAI account/billing page.
