Hi HN, I've been working on a platform where users can chat with AI characters, including historical figures, anime personas and fully custom characters created by others.

The idea started as an alternative to Character.AI, but the project has evolved beyond that.

Now, VirtualTalesHub lets you:

- Chat with thousands of characters: From anime and fantasy personas to custom creations and historical figures.

- Solve mysteries: Some characters hold hidden knowledge or clues. You can piece together stories by talking, investigating, and exploring connections between them.

- Send and receive images: Visual prompts enhance immersion and open up new types of interaction.

- Create your own characters: Define routines, personalities, and dialogue styles. Some users treat this like storytelling or light roleplaying.

- Talk freely: There are no hard content filters unless the user enables restrictions. NSFW content is opt-in and customizable.

The platform runs smoothly as a PWA (mobile/desktop) and uses a mix of LLM models.

There’s a free plan with 100 messages/month, and premium tiers unlock unlimited chatting and character creation.

If you're into AI characters, text-based storytelling, or just exploring what's possible with conversational agents, give it a try!
