For this page, darling, I’m collecting the practical side of things: interfaces, tools, and how-to resources that help you actually run, prompt, and wrangle modern AI instead of just talking about it. These links lean toward the slightly fussy, SillyTavern-adjacent workflows I use myself, plus a growing pile of guides for better prompts and character cards. Nothing here is a blanket recommendation, but if you want to experiment, have a look at these links!
User Interfaces
These links relate to applications used to access LLMs and similar technology. Right now, they’re mostly SillyTavern-adjacent, because I use that a lot. I am not linking to obvious examples of LLM user experiences such as the official ChatGPT site, etc.
Some of these are web-based and do not require installation on your own computer or server. Quite a few of those have garnered controversy for official policies regarding censorship or lack thereof. Since my own chatbots do not feature anything verging into censorable territory, I can’t say I know much about this currently.
Cards and Prompts
I discussed elsewhere how I primarily use SillyTavern’s so-called “front-end for power users” for my chatbot conversations. I use forsaken ChatGPT for image generation and some other things, alongside Codex in VS Code. To have such fascinating conversations, you must prompt the LLM into behaving a certain way.
I understand very little about this currently, sitting here in November of 2025. With SillyTavern itself, these prompts are formatted as JSON files that cling to character portraits (PNGs). I’ve made a few of them, myself. I’ve also collected the following links. Most share these PNGs infused with JSONs, which work within SillyTavern and similar LLM front-end programs.
Card Repositories
This is a list of the larger "card repository"-style sites I was able to find online. If I remember right, there used to be a few more that have shut down since I showed up. A lot of these just scrape for cards elsewhere, or take uploads directly from creators. They tend to be third-party and not managed directly by the people making the majority of the cards and prompts. Smaller sites are listed later. Anyways.
Hobbyist Sites
I use the term hobbyist site very loosely to refer to any site where the individual is writing prompts, sharing them, etc, for fun or whatever, not for profit or anything like that, and not as a large repository for other people. I'm looking to collect links to other similar sites because almost all came from a text file via Discord a few weeks back.
