SillyTavern

LLM Frontend for Power Users

Free

Description

SillyTavern is a versatile user interface that can be installed on personal computers (Windows, Linux) and Android phones. It empowers users to connect with and interact with various Large Language Model (LLM) backends and APIs. This allows for sophisticated chat experiences where modern AI language models can convincingly simulate characters created by the user. Users can define personalities and ongoing actions for these AI characters, which persist throughout their interactions.

The platform is designed to leverage the capabilities of LLMs for diverse applications. For instance, users can configure an AI to act as an expert code reviewer to assist with programming tasks or as a novel editor to help refine written work. SillyTavern provides the frontend tools to manage these interactions effectively, offering a rich and customizable environment for engaging with AI on a deeper level.
