This app can run AI chats all on your iPhone if you wish, no internet required! It supports a wide range of iPhones, starting from the iPhone XS and up. 4GB of RAM is recommended but the more RAM you have, the better! If you happen to have a Mac or Windows PC lying around, you can have more complex and interesting chats by using that machine as a remote server for this app. Note that remote chatting is only supported on your own home network, or with the use of a VPN to access outside your home. You can run the PerChat AI server on your Mac or Windows PC with some hand-picked models, or you can run your own server such as LM Studio or Ollama, and have character chats using those tools. Features: - create richly detailed Characters to chat with, and Personas to chat with - partake in epic conversations with dungeon masters, real celebrities, or any character you can imagine - choose from a curated list of LLM models that will run well on your iPhone to change the flavor of your chats - run a vast number of LLMs on your own Mac or Windows PC to offload computing, and improve chat quality
