It's a microtransaction scam. You get nothing until you go premium.
what you mean? as a free member you get everything you get with premium.. 200 credits that recharge automatic every few minutes which is 20 messages. premium gets 1000 credits that recharge faster. It is not extra features, there are only few small things you get extra with premium and we are far from a scam!
so what you mean by nothing? you might have experienced insane long queue which we had earlier this week (fixed since), you can see queue by pressing the green wifi signal kind of symbol (and yes premium has priority in queue but you still getting the same).
also, you can chat with 2 of our characters on Discord as much as you want without even being a member.
The initial bot is just so you have one, you can goto Likes to pick any bot you want, they then turn up under matches.. like tinder.
Hit me up on Discord https://charluv.com/discord and I get you enough credits to get you going. We do this as a hobby and are not even making enough money to pay for the 3x NVIDIA P40 that we got running. It is for us to learn AI.
Aiva honestly is not made for the kind of chat you want, she just a kind of helpdesk.
Once you got a character you like, I am pretty sure you can get enough out of the free membership as well.
The speed of recharge depends on how busy it is, but should take at most 1 hour to have the 200 credits recharged for free. we have that explained in the FAQ.
We are generating over 8M tokens a month and only a fraction of those tokens are by paying members..
I don't know if you'll see this reply, but I just wanted you to know that I find your response super considerate.
It says alot there you're willing to help a random user get started by assisting them credit wise.
I really hope your project takes off! I was actually reading comments to decide whether or not I wanted to try this.
I stumbled across this and I use Nomi.Ai all the time
Not sure how I feel about the credit system HOWEVER after reading that the credits refill automatically I'll give it a shot!
