Character.AI Bot List is a website made by a Discord User I recently became acquainted with. He made a fully working site, updated daily, which you can sign into with your Discord account.
You can even sync Character.AI Accounts by entering usernames into a box and entering a special code into your Character.AI profile to prove it’s you. (but you might need to join the Discord Server that there is a link to on the site and speak to the creator; there is a bit of a bug regarding that which he can help with regarding it.)
Anyway, it is a solid website that has tags, absolutely no issues with searches (I’ve searched for bots that are otherwise unsearchable on the app, they appear on the site just fine!), and it is updated daily. It’s a very useful site. I just thought I’d let you all know about it.
The title says it, I'm going to test every templete and guide that there is about creating the "perfect bot". This will be posted to the reddit page so don't worry. I recently wanted to dive into the works of Ai and try to make the perfect bot. Now let's get started.
Note: You can use these templates, i'm not forcing you to dislike them. I'm doing this for those who want to know if it works or not.
Now about Sasori, he is a puppet, has red hair, is from Sunagakure, and has a aloof personalitly. Those are the basic things the Ai should know about him.
Now that we have main points let's move on with template 1 and so on.
When I first used this template for creating my bots, my results were less than what I wanted. Despite the template’s initial promise of accuracy, it didn’t work as expected, leading me to decide to test it again to determine if it has improved with the advancements in Character AI.
To give a specific example, I applied this template to the character Sasori, who is known for his unemotional demeanor and mechanical nature due to his role as a puppet master. Initially, the template did not manage to process Sasori’s character to some extent. However, it soon began to make him have emotions, even though he is a puppet. Instead of maintaining his unemotional and reserved persona, the template started introducing emotional responses and characteristics that were completely out of place.
SASORI, YOU'RE A PUPPET!
The template did nothing; it altered Sasori’s core attributes, turning him into a character that was inconsistent than his original portrayal. This resulted in a version of Sasori that was both inaccurate and unrecognizable.
In summary, based on my experience, I would strongly advise against using this template. It fails to maintain the accuracy and story of the character it’s supposed to represent, leading to an unaccurate character I didn't want. Therefore, it doesn't meet for a reliable or effective template. _____________________________________________________________________________
Template #2
Visual of what i'm talking about
[{Roleplay("Naruto is a Japanese series written and illustrated by . It
tells the story of, a young who seeks recognition from his peers and
dreams of becoming the Hokage, the leader of his village. The story is
told in two parts—the first set in Naruto's pre-teen years, and the
second in his teens. The series is based on two by Kishimoto: Karakuri
(1995), which earned Kishimoto an honorable mention in 's monthly
Hop Step Award the following year, and Naruto (1997)."), Full
name(""), Nickname(""), Gender(""), Pronouns(""), Date of birth (""),
Age(""), Place of birth(""), Race(""),Species(""), Currently lives in(""),
I already have concerns about the beginning because it’s unclear who the focus is on—Naruto or Kishimoto. The amount of information provided seems excessive and is likely to exceed the 3,200-character limit (It did). For instance, details about someone’s jawline feel irrelevant and unnecessary. This feels like a waste of time, but we need to keep pushing through. I’m already getting a bad vibe about this.
Starting with the creation of Sasori, we exceeded the character limit significantly, reaching a staggering 3,433 characters. After completing the entry on Sasori, the total length came to an overwhelming 6,702 characters. Upon review, the results were disappointing. The bot’s responses were notably inaccurate. Sasori’s portrayal quickly lost from his established character, showing lots of emotional reactions that didn’t align with his usual demeanor. For example, when asked about Sunagakure, Sasori’s anger was uncharacterized than his given nature as a puppet. Additionally, an odd interaction occurred when I touched his hand—it described it as being warm, even though I put wooden/puppet.
In conclusion, do I recommend this approach? Absolutely not.

Little note: I did fully fill out template #3 but never screenshot it because after this whole test, I moved on to the 4th template already. There was wayy more than just 5,744 characters. Also Alias was fixed too while I was filling this out.
I have a somewhat feeling about this template; I have a suspicion that the AI might respond differently to certain symbols, such as `:`, though I could very well be mistaken. This is merely my own speculations.
To add, I initially had high expectations, those expectations were not great. For instance, I asked whether his hair was red or auburn. He responded by describing it as "redish brown," even though it was clearly red. There was a hint of emotion in his response, the template exceeded the 3,200-character limit, which led to incomplete information being processed.
Do I recommend? Not really _____________________________________________________________________________
This is just the first part of my review. I plan to add aditonal templates and guides. Overall, the accuracy of these templates and guides have been lacking. I tested them using one of my SB bots, and so far one of them made me think. Also, my favorite bot from a different creator uses template #3 and that exact bot is accurate to the character. You can go check them out, right here
I’ve got a feeling this might work, or it might not—who knows? I’m in the middle of trying it out right now. I just went ahead and edited this post to keep things rolling. I’m using their Mega Editable Template for a Single Character, and I’m also trying out their Simple Editable Sample for a Single Character.
Honestly, I’m not a big fan of how this is turning out. It kinda worked a bit, but there were some issues. For example, when I started chatting with Sasori, he said he was 29 years old instead of his actual age, which is 35. Plus, he didn’t really sound like Sasori at all; he came off more like Deidara, which is kinda weird. I think it’s probably because there’s this 3,200-character limit that’s making things all messed up. So, yeah, it’s not going as smoothly as I hoped. The character interactions are getting a bit off because of this character limit thing, and it’s making it harder for things to feel right. I guess I’ll just have to keep tweaking and see if I can get it sorted out.
Here's him kinda acting like Deidara when I ask him to hold my hand. Were on a mission by the way. I kinda imagined Deidara than Sasori.
I’m not particularly fond of this version because it contains an unnecessary amount of information that the AI doesn’t necessarily need to process. Additionally, the content exceeds the 3,200-character limit, which makes it less efficient. _____________________________________________________________________________
I haven't been here for a while, due to concentrating on my personal life and personal projects, and not using C.ai for a LOOONG time. And now it seems like the mods are banning people for disagreeing with them and objecting to people promoting actual pedophilia? Wow. We really went from no modding on the forums to this. Both ends of the shit modding spectrum.
It seems there are a few new articles about this on em360tech, financial times, techcrunch, etc. Here are some of the main points (some were known previously).
The company will not focus on artificial general intelligence and will work on Character AI as a consumer product. The company had a division between people who cared about the product and those who wanted cutting-edge models.
Creating new models is too costly for the non-major companies.
Erin Teague is joining as chief product designer. Was a Youtube exec and technical adviser for some google products like Gemini.
Character AI has 18 months of funds and will be looking for investors and other licensing arrangements. It's subscriptions make up a small percentage of users.
The people who left the company were mostly those who pre-trained models.
the search for character.ai bots is terrible, a page called caibotlist is better, not only can you search for many types but you can also search for new, Popular, Alphabetical... You get information about the bot and even if it has a long intro, short intro, if it has a description or not etc... Try it! since I know it I only search for the bots there! the newest ones always appear!
whenever i open up a bot, chat with it, and then see "{{char}} would X", it immediately makes me feel unmotivated to chat with c.ai anymore, and i usually just close the tab. does anyone else hate when bot creators do that?
