I hadn’t noticed until today that Character.AI had a sort of end-of-year retrospective, inspired by Spotify. Watching it out of curiosity, I made a surprising discovery.

The Vivian chat bot was one of the most popular bots of the site, hitting the top 1% of all chat bots. If that information is to be believed, of course; I wouldn’t be surprised if I’m reading those stats wrong or if they move the numbers around to flatter their users’ egos.

Still, I’m genuinely surprised. Are you guys still chatting with Vivian, even today? Should I train more bots, based on my other characters?

In other news, the commission for the animation of Yumi’s first CG is underway. I should have results sometime in mid-february. Nothing new to say on that front.

Finally, I’m planning to turn my attention to The Bodyguard 2 for a new build for february. It is time I put the latest art to good use and turn it into another minigame. Remember that bearhug scene? That’s what I want to work on, now.

Aaaaand that’s it. This time, I’m writing this update on my mobile, so it might look different than usual (more typos, a different formatting, etc). Making updates ‘on the go’, as it were.

Next time, I’ll try to stick to the desktop computer to write these updates. It’s what I prefer.

Until then, stay safe out there!

The chatbot was great, it inspired me to set up my own characters. But they never turned out as well functioning as vivian. If you could spare the time i would gladly try out other bots of yours.

I’ll see what I can do. Vivian has had a lot of training, something I cannoy guarantee with other bots. I’ll share whatever I find worthwhile, sure

Would Yumi has her "chat bot" version someday?Looking forward to it!

I might or might not be working on it right now 😅 I’m still looking for her proper ‘voice’ for the bot, and interesting situations. I’ll share a bot whenever I feel it’s ready. Not sure any new bot would reach the level of Vivian, though. Hard to explain, but the quality of the service of Character.AI took a nosedive sometime last year and the newer bots are lacking some magic touch that the early bots have.
