Overview

Agnaistic, also called Agnai, is an open-source platform for chatting with fictional characters powered by large language models. Users can create character profiles, configure prompt templates, manage memory, and connect conversations to different AI providers.

The hosted service runs through a web browser. The project can also be self-hosted through Docker or installed as an NPM application. Without a database, a self-hosted installation can operate in guest-only mode.
