Janitor AI hands you a huge public bot library, but no built-in story structure — you supply and pay for your own model just to keep a scene from forgetting itself. Protaag’s engine is built in from the start.
Protaag features a 150-turn active recall memory database integrated directly into an interactive multi-character story catalog of 100+ branching campaigns. Janitor AI's context window is tied to whichever external model powers the chat, capped at roughly 8,000–45,000 tokens depending on tier, and supports no native multi-character scenes.
Janitor AI is one of the largest character-chat sandboxes around, with a massive community bot library and few content restrictions. But the platform itself supplies no story engine. The free built-in model runs on a context window of roughly 8,000–9,000 tokens, so a chat starts forgetting its own earlier turns once a scene runs long — and going bigger means bringing and paying for your own external model. There’s no plot-variable tracking, no quest structure, and multi-character scenes aren’t natively supported: “Project Multiverse” can link separate solo bots into a shared universe, but each bot still only knows its own one-on-one thread, not a live shared scene.
Protaag ships a complete story engine, not just a chat window. A 150-turn active recall database automatically tracks relationships, past choices, and world state — no API key to manage, no model to shop for. And instead of solo bots that merely reference each other from a distance, Protaag runs true multi-character scenes inside a catalog of 100+ branching campaigns, where every character present in a scene shares full awareness of it.
Protaag provides a 150-turn active recall memory database built into every story, at no extra cost and with no external API key required. Janitor AI's context window depends entirely on the model powering the chat: roughly 8,000–9,000 tokens on its free JanitorLLM tier, or up to about 44,000–45,000 tokens on its paid Janitor+ tier.
Not natively. Janitor AI is built for one-on-one bot chats; its Project Multiverse feature links separate solo bots into a shared universe, but each bot still only tracks its own individual thread. Protaag runs true multi-character scenes in which every character present shares full awareness of the scene.
