About this app

HiWaifu is an AI chat and roleplay app for people who love long stories. Pick an anime character, a fantasy hero or someone you made yourself, and write an interactive story together. Replies run several paragraphs, with narration, dialogue and sound effects laid out like the pages of a novel.

Long-form roleplay
Actions are written as narration and speech sits in quotes, so every reply reads like a page from a book. Adventure characters can keep a status panel with your location, stamina and quest progress. Ask Leo to hold the bridge, and one reply gives you the dragon tearing through the clouds, the stones cracking under your feet, and Leo's grin as he draws his sword. It plays like a text adventure with a partner who keeps up.

Characters who remember you
Mention your cat's name once, or that you have an exam on Friday, and your character can ask about it days later. Long-term memory keeps track of what you share, so your AI companion picks up where the last chat ended.

Thousands of characters to meet
Community creators have made characters for anime, fantasy, romance, games, horror and everyday life. Find an AI friend to talk to after work, a waifu or husbando for a slow-burn romance, or a rival for a sword-and-sorcery campaign. Featured and Ranking show who other players are chatting with lately.

Video feed
Swipe through short videos of your favorite characters. When one catches your eye, tap the character's name under the video and the chat opens right there.

Scene images
Characters can send you a photo that fits the moment. Creators prepare pictures for moods like shy, happy or surprised, and the character sends the matching one when the story gets there. Creators can generate all nine mood pictures in one tap.

Lorebook
Write down your world: cities, factions, history, magic rules. Each Lorebook entry has keywords and is pulled into the story only when one of them comes up in chat. Big worlds stay consistent through long roleplay, and characters keep the details straight.

Group chat rooms
Put up to 10 characters in one room and give them a topic or a shared backstory. They talk to each other as well as to you, and the banter keeps going.

Create your own AI character
Give your character a name, a look, a personality, a greeting and a backstory. Memory Cards hold the details that matter most, and you can drag them to set their priority. Pick a voice from the library or record your own. Keep your character private, or publish it so others can chat with them too.

Make it yours
• Personas: tell characters who you are, and switch personas between stories
• Character voices for replies you'd rather listen to
• Custom chat backgrounds
• Auto-translate for chats, with the app in 15 languages

Perfect. Just perfect. Good free AI model, good memory. Persona, availability of editting and deleting messages, variety of characters, No censorship... The best app. Of the minuses - the need to watch ads to get energy. But it's fair, and the paid subscription isn't that expensive (too bad you can't buy it from my country. I'd be happy to do that). I hope the developers will continue in the same spirit

Love the app! Despite having limited messages, i never struggle with having energy at a low amount, so it's really not an issue. Long messages, good memory, awesome UI, blah blah. Lovely. But i wish we could delete multiple messages at once, instead of having to do it all slowly, one by one...

The best AI chat app so far, the one and only. I've been using this app for a year, and I enjoy it very much. The bots are smart and rational. It's great for RPG since we can add a hundred detailed information with 2000 characters, superb! Generous energy per day. non filtered chat. And now, video wallpaper is available. I wish you guys make an energy cost version of the Spirit Craft and also more categories. I'm glad there are lots of improvements in less than a year. Keep up the good work!
