## What it is
KoboldAI Client is a browser-based front-end for AI-assisted writing and text adventure gameplay that connects to multiple local and remote AI models (Google Colab, local GPUs, or APIs like OpenAI). It offers Memory, Author's Note, World Info, save/load, adventure mode, and chatbot-style play, though the project now recommends KoboldCpp for GGUF models.

## Use cases
- write fiction with local AI models
- play a text adventure game like AI Dungeon locally
- run a local LLM chatbot with memory and world info
- use OpenAI or Inferkit APIs with a better writing interface
- import and continue AI Dungeon adventures
- run AI writing assistant on Google Colab for free

## When to choose
- you want a feature-rich browser UI for AI-assisted storytelling or text adventures
- you want to switch between novel, adventure, and chatbot play styles
- you want to use remote APIs or Colab-hosted models instead of a local GPU

## When to avoid
- you need GGUF model support - use KoboldCpp instead
- you need the newest Llama/Huggingface/ExLlama safetensors support - use KoboldAI United
- you want a lightweight API-only server without the writing UI
