Janitor AI

Janitor AI works differently from most companion apps in one key way: it doesn't run its own AI model by default. It's a chat interface sitting on top of a massive, user-submitted library of character cards, and you connect your own AI backend, your own API key or one of its supported model options, to actually talk to them. That setup means the experience varies a lot depending on which model you bring. It also means the platform leans heavily on its community for content moderation rather than a single company reviewing everything centrally, and a browse through its character listings turns up plenty of mature-themed and explicit content tags alongside the tamer stuff. If you're technical enough to manage an API key and want maximum choice over which model powers your conversations, that flexibility is the whole appeal. If you'd rather something that just works out of the box, this isn't that.

FAQs

Does Janitor AI provide its own AI model?

Not by default, you typically connect your own API key or choose from supported backend options, so response quality depends on what you bring.

Is the content moderated?

It's largely community-driven rather than centrally reviewed, and mature or explicit character tags are common across the library.
