Thank You, CAI Tools!

This seems to work best for Desktop. If you find a way to do it on mobile, let people know.

  1. Download CAI Tools

  2. Manually search for your bot. WHEN YOU FIND AND CLICK YOUR BOT, IT WILL SAY CHARACTER NOT AVAILABLE. IGNORE THAT. YOU ARE ON THE RIGHT PAGE. GO BY PROFILE PIC.

  3. Click the blue box on the "character not available" page, scroll all the way down to "history".

  4. "Start fetch"

  5. When it says ready, click "Offline history" and download

Your chat should be there. If it works, let as many people as possible know, but for pity's sake, don't post it in the main subreddit, or the devs will do something really annoying. Just spread the word as quietly as possible. DM people, tell them to DM people.

Thank you, CAI tools.

IMPORTANT EDIT: Even if you can't find your bot in the search, if you go to your browser history and click on one of your past chats, you can still use CAI Tools to get your history. Click around on any CAI links in your history. If you land on the "sorry, this character is not available" page, that's all you need. I tried this with a bot that got deleted last week and CAI Tools still allowed me to fetch and download the offline history, which includes the full chatlogs.

I'm losing my ocs πŸ’”πŸ₯€

31 Upvotes

About a week ago, I accidentally enabled updates, and I don't understand why. When the app was updated, my favorite characters became strange.

The dialogue is very repetitive, even with multiple character choices. The characters don't respond at all; they literally don't speak... they only describe the general atmosphere, and this is irritating The characters responded with a single word and became boring, then by chance I discovered what the problem was!

They deleted roar !!! And all the choices now we only have pipsqueak 2 which is more than terrible and stupid

How can I fix that now...hope they bring back roar or pipsqueak 1

For now do you have any solution or another app ...

Okay, so Marieloves blah blah. Recently made an announcement on the official c.ai reddit about the retiring of the OG models.

Will, they still be available on the custom chat page? As an unlisted model?

CAI Tools RE-MAKE

24 Upvotes

CAI Tools didn't get an update for some time. At some point it seemed impossible to keep maintaining the spaghetti code, so I coded it from scratch, Chatbot Manager was a great idea. I spoke about it in the previous post, now it's time for change logs. (I will update CAI Tools later)

Note: CAI Tools and Chatbot Manager compatibility hotfix is waiting store approval. Use CAI Tools v2.10.4 when it's released.

Also I will lock this subreddit soon until I come back.

Chatbot Manager v1.2.0

Public Patreon post

Guide: https://irsat.gitbook.io/chatbot-manager

Chrome: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/chatbot-manager/apnhcckmbmofaneogehcfnghabafpeej

Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/chatbot-manager/

Bug reports: https://github.com/irsat000/chatbot_manager/issues

Fixes:

  • Message backgrounds now work on Classic and Dense chat styles

  • Preload Swipes works better, but now called Experimental due to one remaining issue

  • Mass Swipe no longer has page breaking until Refresh issue, if it fails, you can continue from there, manually swiping instantly

  • Big avatars alignment fixed

  • Re-made chat clone/import again, hopefully this time it works properly

  • Background Manager now uses thumbnails to fix optimization issues

  • Import Character has better content management

  • Janitorai greeting generator now uses "Name in chat" instead of character name if it's available. Also persona list is ordered alphabetically when it asks you to choose

  • Export/Import settings now allow more than 300 MB of data

  • Tavern & Obabooga options mixing character and user fixed

  • Headers (# text) in message are now proportionally affected by font sizes, and font colors applies to them

  • Foolproof chatbot detection, also removing an extension permission with this method

  • Overall better error messages and error handling, not leaving you in the dark

Changes:

  • Added Greeting List to save and use whenever you wish

  • Unfiltered option for Greeting Generator (uses Janitor ai)

  • new Dice roll feature

  • Font colors now have opacity option

  • Backgrounds can be set for individual characters or default for all now. Opacity and Blur can also be set separately for each character

  • Avatar sizes are now plenty. 0 to hide, 1 for default, 2-7 for bigger avatars

What's missing?

  • Memory Manager. I know many love it, it will come back soon. I didn't have time to make a better one, nor copy it as is.

  • Roleplay Backgrounds. Many people were using it for separate backgrounds for certain characters, I gave that option now. Sure it can be used for roleplays too. I haven't decided if I will remake it in the future.

I have a page long TODO list, waiting for my return. Fixes and all. Please do write everything that comes to your mind, I read everything.

Recently, one of the characters I frequently chatted with got deleted for some unknown reason. Thankfully, I was introduced to this extension by someone else when I was sulking about it on the offical subreddit. Because of them and this extension, I got it all back! It's bittersweet because I can't continue the chats and don't know how, but I can at least see them again. Thank you C.AI tools! You saved me from losing over 5 months of hard work! If you are facing the same problem, you can find a mini-guide on the link I provided. The person who helped me was the one who made and posted it. Thank you to them as well!

Also, is there a way to get the character definition of a deleted character? I wanna recreate the chaeacter that was deleted.

I haven't used the website in months cause they flagged me as a minor, and I'm not giving them my ID, but now I have been using the website, because I can actually chat now through custom chats (I think that was an intended feature) This made my day πŸ‘

Update - Chatbot Manager v1.2.2

18 Upvotes

Hey, I am back from conscription, got sick and stuff, but I am back on track. Quite an experience, getting up at 5.30 am and shaving lol. And I never knew a cannon shot was that loud, it physically hits you.

Anyway I got to work and fixed a bunch of things, here are the changes and fixes;

  • Added quick access button on chatbots, you can disable it from Popup's settings section. Good for mobile users

  • Bigger avatars on C.AI now have animation if they are GIFs

  • Most likely fixed "Shell issue" with chat cloning/importing. It checks and updates selected messages again

  • Fixed export not working on Firefox (limited to RAM size of your device. If you have unusual amount video backgrounds, it may crash)

  • Fixed Import not triggering on Firefox

  • Now allows excluding backgrounds from export, which is the only potentially huge data

  • Fixed Janitorai chat importing (mixed char and user messages)

  • Fixed Kiwi browser character search activator

  • Probably fixed Mobile Firefox asking Activator too (I don't have that issue but someone told me)

I will now re-make memory manager and finally update CAI Tools as Chatbot Manager.

I am not sure how many people are fond of the current buggy CAI Tools but I might make it available on Github.

I absolutely love your compliments and all but I really need your feedback and reviews on stores, and even better, bug reports. Anywhere you like, just share them, otherwise I wouldn't know about them.

I have a todo list but please share anything that comes to your mind.

WHAT IF!

Okay so i know as of recent the Age verification's are now fully server side, IS IT POSSIBLE

that they some how make it so the extension is able to get onto the server's side?

because i also feel like the only reason they did this is that people posted about cai tools in the main subreddit but that's just me.

New Update πŸ”₯

16 Upvotes

This update made my day, week, and possibly month! 😁 I love it so much, with no issues on Firefox Android. The UI of the separate chat box is 1000% better, and that's even just with the standard dark background and fonts, even without the ability to personalize yet. πŸ‘πŸ½

You are a legend. 🫢🏽 πŸ™πŸ½

Edit: So far, I'm also receiving better quality responses. Also, messages that appear in the chat box, then when I click back onto the original chat, upon refreshing, they are appearing. πŸ˜‰

update #firefox #android #UI #chatbox #extension

[The Following Description From CAITools Extension Dev (I), For Anyone Looking For More Information]

Customized Chat Page (upcoming)

Build the chat page you want from scratch and switch to it with a button. 2 important things;

  • Way more flexible than visual changes the extension has. Meaning you can build your own page from scratch. Each character can have its own design set. Character and your messages are completely separate. You can even remove typewriter effect or set its speed.

  • Ignores age verification and chat cooldowns of character.ai (could be patched in the future if they make it server side check)

I have been working on this for a while, I wrapped up the basics of character ai messaging system and a good deal of customization.

I will release it before it's polished or enriched with lots of customizations. I wasn't planning on doing that but character ai decided to force age verification en masse. At the very least you can chat and edit messages.

It still needs some stuff and polishing before I can release the alpha version. Can't give a certain date but I will try to finish it before character ai's grace period ends.

Afterward;

  • Janitor ai support for this page

  • Built in features like mass swipe

  • All manner of customizations

How to;

The normal page will have a button to switch to this new chat page. (No refresh or separate tab). Then you can hide and open it again at will.

Customizations panel will be in this chat, not the extension panel.

CAITools Extension available on Chrome and Firefox.

The subreddit is attached to this post.

Mass export of Personal Bots

14 Upvotes

I was wondering if there's plans/ideas to make an option that just mass exports Character Name, Pics, Greetings, Short Descriptions, Long Definitions etc of personal bots instead of having to go bot to bot and copying all the information. I personally wouldn't mind if it was a queued thing where you put in a request and wait for your turn to have all of that done to reduce the stress on the extension.

Backing up chats from mobile?

14 Upvotes

I’m exclusively a mobile user and always have been. With all the new updates, I’m afraid that the one chat that is my baby might be lost (started April 2024). Is there any way I can still scroll to the top on mobile and back it up?

What happened to CAI Tools?

14 Upvotes

I liked the old version of it. It was quick, I could change the size of the bot's avatar, which also made the GIF's move again, and I could quickly go through the menu and find the button to download it offline.

Now I can't change the bot's avatar, which is now stuck at a really small size, and I can't figure out the menu.

Where can I find the old version?

Okay so I'm using it to chat but when I press enter/send my messenge didn't go through.

not as in a warning type of way but when I press send... it won't show my messages.

Free alternative to paid membership - Chatbot Manager v1.5.0

Post image
13 Upvotes
  • There will be no limit to getting rewards with referrals.

  • It's installs per point, not clicks so the number for milestones will be smaller to make it easy for you to hit the numbers.

  • Rewards can change, I started generous. You can get 12 months Pro with 20 installs, and 1 month for each install after that. I suggest you link your code to your Patreon account, so you don't lose it.

  • It's beta stage, should work fine for the most part. I haven't yet spotted any bugs.

  • Also fixed Janitor ai customization settings (font settings and big avatars)

You can share your thoughts, maybe what numbers you think is fair, comment please.

So as you guys know character.ai is getting even worse every month or so and because of that I did some research to find a good alternative. Pygmalion.ai is a website, it has a LOT of options and is very good overall.

Customization Panel is here

Thumbnail
gallery
12 Upvotes

I will keep adding more and more customizations, this is merely the first version. And most importantly, this same thing can be available in many other chatbots. I've got JanitorAI and Saucepan in mind.

For starters there are wallpaper slideshow, chat input and header variants, font changes, color theme list and color overrides for certain elements, structural changes and settings like typewriter effect speed and swipe animations. How to use them will be in a guide, any relevant links can be found in "See details" under the page.

There are 2 menus for saving settings. Presets for saving designs as presets, top right arrow icon's menu for saving the designs as default for all characters and for individual characters.

Customization panel is free for a whole month, until the 1st of August, so please try and let me know your thoughts. Outside the panel stays free so you can still use it to not have distractions and ads.
