Build worlds with lorebooks that define your world's lore, history, and rules so the AI stays consistent across long narratives. You can also generate images for your stories. IMAGE GENERATION Generate character portraits, scenes, and illustrations with dozens of AI art models including Flux, Stable Diffusion, and more. TEXT-TO-SPEECH Over 300 AI voices in multiple languages. Give each character their own voice. CHOOSE YOUR AI MODEL Most AI chat apps lock you into a single black-box model. HammerAI lets you pick from leading open-source LLMs tuned for roleplay and storytelling: Mythomax, Hermes, Mistral, Lumimaid, Magnum, Euryale, WizardLM, and more. Try a few, find your favorite, or let HammerAI pick a sensible default. Want to dial it in further? Adjust temperature, context window, and system prompt to match your style exactly. Not finding the LLM you want from our options? Use any LLM in the world with our proxy LLM support. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Most AI chat apps store every conversation and character on their servers.
