What Janitor AI users usually look for
Janitor AI’s snapshot fields describe user-created characters, editable chat memory and free LLM access. Its context entry is approximately 8K–9K tokens. These are concrete criteria for carrying a scene forward. Creation · Memory · Access.
Separate defining the character from maintaining the conversation. An editable context field asks you to choose the notes; an authored profile supplies a starting identity. The image column adds a separate comparison of visual interaction.
Start after the shop closes
Tasha · AI character
20 · Pet groomer and small pet salon owner
Shop's closed, the last dog just went home, and I finally have time for someone who doesn't bark 😅 Stay and talk to me for a bit?
Her job supplies a scene before you write one: the last dog has gone home and the shop has closed. Ask about her day or introduce a fictional scene of your own. Her public identity is the source; these are suggested prompts.

The shortlist
1. Elyvie — a character with shared context
Her public identity starts the scene. Rolling summaries and long-term facts maintain continuity for that character, while the privacy policy defines deletion and data-use boundaries.
2. SpicyChat — Memory Manager and context tiers
Compare its tiered context and Conversation Images when planning how to maintain plot notes. Snapshot source.
3. Character.AI — Shared characters and pins
Creation and sharing appear alongside memory pins and Imagine Message. Character publishing and selected context are separate controls. Snapshot source.
4. PolyBuzz — Character-card imports
Its creation field includes character-card imports; the memory field describes limited capacity and membership models. Snapshot source.
5. CrushOn.AI — Saved memory and pinned context
Its fields pair user-created characters with saved memory and pinned context. The image field remains “not stated”. Snapshot source.
6. Kindroid — Custom companions and selfies
Its fields describe customized companions and generated selfies, including proactive selfies. Recall is a separate comparison. Snapshot source.
Choose the character workflow first
Write one scene premise and three facts that should stay stable. Choose an Elyvie profile that gives that premise a concrete identity, then distinguish the current scene from facts you share about yourself.
Put creation control and memory control in separate columns: who defines the character, and how is the conversation’s context maintained? Add images when visual interaction matters to your scene. For the categories behind this comparison, see our feature statistics.

How we checked
Data boundary: as of 2 Oct 2026, 15 apps checked. We used the 15-app, 12-field tracker and its official-source cells. Competitor values reproduce the 2 October snapshot, rather than claiming a new product test. Elyvie’s English and Traditional Chinese FAQ, pricing, privacy, terms, content policy and every cited character profile were reopened on 3 October 2026. Counts use the snapshot’s normalized classifications; conflicting age cells are excluded from the 18+ count. “Not stated” is separate from “no”. This is a document comparison; we did not sign in or test chat quality.
