TavernAI is an atmospheric frontend application for roleplay chat and story writing with AI language models, connecting to backends like KoboldAI, NovelAI, Pygmalion, and OpenAI. This repository is the legacy v1 codebase (Node.js/JavaScript); development has moved to the TavernAI 2 repository.
Use cases
- chat with AI characters locally
- run an AI roleplay chat frontend
- write interactive stories with language models
- create and share AI character cards
- group chat with multiple AI characters
- connect a frontend to KoboldAI or NovelAI
- self-host an AI chat interface on a VPS
When to choose
- you want a mature, well-known roleplay frontend for KoboldAI, NovelAI, Pygmalion, or OpenAI backends
- you need character creation, group chats, world info, and message editing
- you want to run it locally with Node.js or via Google Colab on mobile
When to avoid
- you want the newest features like branching chats, dynamic cards, or the Prompt Manager - use TavernAI 2 instead
- you need a headless API or library to embed in your own app
- you want a fully managed hosted service with no local setup
