## What it is
SillyTavern is a locally installed, self-hosted web UI for interacting with text generation LLMs, image generation engines, and TTS voice models. It gives power users fine-grained control over prompts, characters, and backends, connecting to many local and cloud LLM APIs.

## Use cases
- chat with local or cloud LLMs through a self-hosted interface
- roleplay with AI characters and persistent personas
- connect multiple LLM backends like OpenAI-compatible APIs, KoboldAI, and Tabby
- generate images and TTS voice alongside chat
- fine-tune prompts and generation settings as a power user
- run an AI chat frontend on Android or a local machine

## When to choose
- you want maximum control over prompts, characters, and LLM backends
- you prefer a free, open-source, locally installed UI
- you want to mix text, image, and voice generation in one interface
- you are an enthusiast comfortable with a steeper learning curve

## When to avoid
- you want a simple, polished out-of-the-box chatbot with minimal setup
- you need a managed cloud service rather than self-hosting
- you only need an API or library to embed LLM calls in your own app
