RisuAI Review
Browser-based character chat frontend — like SillyTavern but no install, runs entirely in your tab.
Verdict
RisuAI is SillyTavern-shaped power without the self-host setup. Runs entirely in the browser, plugs into your API keys, supports character cards, lorebooks, and prompt customization. Trade-off: less plugin ecosystem than ST.
What it does
RisuAI is a browser-based open-source character chat frontend. Plug in your OpenAI/Claude/Mistral key and chat. Character cards, lorebooks, prompt templates, regex script support, all client-side.
Best for
