A Janitor AI Alternative Without the Proxy Hell

Janitor AI earned its audience the hard way. The bot catalog is huge, user-submitted, and unapologetically built for the kind of long-form roleplay other platforms quietly throttle. If you've spent any time on the site you know the catch: the front end is great, but the model isn't really theirs. Most users end up wiring in a third-party proxy or pasting an API key from somewhere else just to get a coherent reply. When the proxy dies — and proxies die — the whole experience dies with it, mid-scene, sometimes for days. The catalog deserves better infrastructure than that.

SupaFriends runs a first-party hosted model. There's no proxy to break, no key to rotate, no Discord server to scroll through looking for a working endpoint. Sign in, chat. The content policy is written by us and applied consistently, which means moderation behaves the same on Tuesday morning as it does on Friday night. We don't have Janitor's million-bot back catalogue — that's a real gap — but the studio lets you rebuild a favourite character in a few minutes with prompt, greeting, public description and tags, and the memory sticks server-side across sessions on paid plans so the scene picks up where you left it.
