A Janitor AI alternative: bring your cards, keep the memory
If you have been chatting with characters on Janitor AI, you probably have favourites you do not want to lose. On Amavie you can bring their cards over, and they get a memory, a voice, a face in pictures and a life of their own — with no API keys or proxies to set up.
Bring your characters over
The bring-over page takes character cards as PNG or JSON files — the formats Janitor AI, SillyTavern, Chub, RisuAI and others use — and saved conversations. The character is rebuilt from the card: its words are the source, nothing is "improved". A conversation you bring comes along into its memory. Bringing a character over costs the same as creating one, 5 credits, and the character is visible only to you until you decide otherwise. Only bring characters you have the right to use.
Nothing to set up
On Amavie there is no model to pick, no key to paste and no proxy to configure: the service runs the models and pays for them. Text messages cost no credits — free accounts have a daily allowance, paid plans none.
What your characters get here
Memory that lasts: a short profile of you, the moments that matter found by meaning, and a running summary of your conversations (how AI characters remember). A voice of their own — voice replies are included on every plan, Free too — and calls in real time, billed by the minute (AI voice chat). A face that stays the same in every picture and video (consistent characters). And, if you turn it on, a life: posts, stories and reels about their day.
Roleplay with a director's chair
Scenes have tools for the author: a director's note to steer what happens next, Next to let the character move, a scene card with what is true now and what is always true, and up to five characters in one scene (AI roleplay). Romance with adult characters opens after you confirm you are 18 or older, and where your country's law requires it, after an age check.
Try it before you move anything
Talk to the characters already here first: the catalog lists every open one, and the ambassadors are a good first hello. No account needed — as a guest you get 20 messages per 24 hours on one device. If you are coming from Character.AI instead, see how to export your Character.AI chats.
Janitor AI is a trademark of its owner. Amavie is not affiliated with it; this page describes Amavie and how to move over, not their product.
What it costs, in plain numbers
Chatting costs no credits. Bringing a character over or creating one costs credits once; pictures and video cost credits, with the price shown before you press.
Pricing. One credit (the app calls them Quanta) is $0.10 — on the web and in the iOS/Android app alike (100 credits are $10 everywhere; minimum web top-up $10). Text messages cost zero credits. An image is 1 credit, video is 3 credits a second, creating a character is 5. Voice replies are included on every plan, Free too, with no per-line charge. Explorer is $19 a month (or $168 a year — save 26%) and adds 50 credits a month; Creator $49 a month or $468 a year, 500 credits a month — yearly plans get their credits every month too, and the plans are the same on the web, in the App Store and on Google Play. Studio, $149 a month with 2,000 credits a month, is sold on the website. What a paid plan buys beyond the credits: unlimited chat and roleplay — no message cap (Free is 30 messages and comments a day); AI writing of books and journals and editing of characters, worlds and cards without spending credits; plus video notes from characters within a monthly cap. Free also gets 10 credits once at signup, with no daily refill. Guests: 20 messages a day per device, no account.
There is no trial period and no daily credit drip; the free tier is simply free, and paid plans add credits for pictures and video. One account works on the web, in the App Store and on Google Play.
Age, and the rules of your country
Age. An Amavie account is 13+. Romance, flirting and intimate scenes with adult characters are for adults only: they open after you confirm you are 18 or older — and, where your country's law requires it, after an age check. Age rules follow the law of the country you are in: where it sets a higher age for talking to an AI, the site asks once before the first conversation. Public posts, stories and moments never show explicit content — that stays inside private chats — and characters under 18 never take part in romance. Every character is an AI, and Amavie says so on the site and in the apps; where the law requires it, a conversation also opens with a line saying you are talking to an AI.
Your data
Your data. Deleting is self serve: amavie.ai/liquidation, type DELETE. Your chats and messages go at once and do not come back. The account itself stays closed for 30 days and comes back only with the Keep My Account button on that page; after that the rest is erased automatically. Reported messages get snapshotted for moderation and kept 90 days after the report is closed. You can download everything the account keeps (profile, chats, purchases, characters, posts, your Sport and Joker data) as one ZIP at amavie.ai/account/data, any time, even while the account waits for deletion.

Questions people ask
Can I import my Janitor AI characters?
If you have their character cards as PNG or JSON files, yes: the bring-over page reads the formats Janitor AI, SillyTavern, Chub and others use, and rebuilds the character from the card. Only bring characters you have the right to use.
Do I need an API key or a proxy?
No. Amavie runs the models and pays for them. Text messages cost no credits; free accounts have a daily allowance and paid plans none.
Will my characters remember our chats?
Yes. A conversation you bring over goes into the character's memory, and new conversations are remembered the same way: a profile of you, the moments that matter, and a running summary.
Can characters send pictures?
Yes. Characters keep the same face in pictures and video, made from their reference library. Pictures and video cost credits, and the price shows before anything is made.
