Overview
Janitor AI is a conversational role-play platform where users discover, create, and chat with AI characters. It supports detailed personas, custom scenarios, conversation history, and multiple model or API configurations for users who want more control over character behavior.
Our take
A large community platform for creating and chatting with user-made AI characters, with a free tier that carries most of the usage. The appeal is the library and the creative freedom; the trade-offs are the ones that apply across this whole category — variable content moderation, conversations stored on someone else's servers, and a product whose behaviour can change with a model update.
Worth it if
People who want access to a large community character library rather than a single polished companion product.
Look elsewhere if
Anyone who needs privacy guarantees or predictable behaviour from one session to the next.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
How private are conversations on a community character platform?
Less than the intimacy of the format suggests. Conversations are generally stored server-side, may be reviewed for safety, and may be used to improve the service depending on the terms. Assume anything typed could be read by someone, and keep identifying personal details out of it.
Why does a character behave differently than it used to?
Because the underlying model or the moderation layer changed, which happens without notice on platforms in this category. A character definition is a prompt, not a program, so its behaviour depends entirely on what is running underneath. Users find this genuinely jarring, and there is no version pinning to protect against it.
