A SillyTavern alternative for your phone, with your cards
SillyTavern is a front end you run yourself and connect to a model of your choice. If you love your cards but not the setup — or you want them on your phone — Amavie runs everything for you: bring the cards over and keep talking.
Your cards work here
The bring-over page reads character cards in the formats SillyTavern uses — PNG with the card inside, JSON cards (V1, V2, V3) and CharX — and cards from Chub, Janitor AI, RisuAI, Backyard and Agnai. It also takes saved chats. The character is rebuilt from the card: its words are the source, the char and user macros are cleaned up, and instructions written for another model are set aside. A chat you bring comes along into its memory. Bringing a character over costs the same as creating one, 5 credits, and it is visible only to you until you decide otherwise. Only bring characters you have the right to use.
Nothing to install, nothing to host
There is no server to run, no model to download and no key to paste: Amavie runs the models and pays for them, on the web and in the iOS and Android apps, with one account. Text messages cost no credits — free accounts have a daily allowance, paid plans none.
Memory without prompt engineering
Instead of a context window you manage by hand, characters keep a short profile of you, find the moments that matter by meaning, and keep a running summary of the conversation (how AI characters remember). Lore can live in documents of knowledge attached to the character, and worlds keep their own canon (AI worldbuilding).
Group scenes and a director's chair
A roleplay scene can hold up to five characters; a director on the server decides who speaks — the one you name, the one you addressed, or the next in turn. You steer with director's notes, let a character move with Next, and keep what is true in the scene card (AI roleplay).
Voices and pictures included
Each character has its own voice — replies are included on every plan — and you can call them in real time (AI voice chat). Pictures and video keep the same face from the character's references (consistent characters).
Try it first
Talk to the characters already here: 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.
SillyTavern 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 use my SillyTavern character cards on Amavie?
Yes. The bring-over page reads PNG cards, JSON cards V1 to V3 and CharX, and rebuilds the character from the card. A saved chat can come along into its memory. Only bring characters you have the right to use.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. Amavie runs on the web and in the iOS and Android apps with one account, and there is nothing to install or host.
Can I choose the model?
No. Amavie runs the models and pays for them, so there is nothing to configure. Character replies are written by the Gemini Flash family.
Is group roleplay supported?
Yes. Up to five characters can share a scene, and a director on the server decides who speaks next, so the scene stays readable.
