Show: AI characters that don't just chat — they use apps

I made an AI character platform where your character doesn't just chat — it lives in a desktop with apps.

You create a character, give it a personality. You set up a mod — think of it as a scenario or world. Then you talk to it.

The difference is: your character can actually do things. It plays music, writes diary entries, checks emails, moves chess pieces — all through apps running in the same desktop. The conversation and the apps are connected.

And anyone can build new apps for it. Describe what you want, it gets generated. So the whole thing is open to community content — characters, mods, apps, all UGC.

Import your SillyTavern character cards if you already have them.
