A smaller update this week, but we’ve pushed a few useful fixes and improvements across web and mobile.

Russian payment methods with VPN

Russian users should now be able to access Russian payment methods even when using a VPN.

On the checkout page, set your Billing Country to Russia, and the available Russian payment methods should load correctly.

Web fixes

• Fixed an issue where the Discard Changes confirmation did not appear on the Create and Edit Persona pages after making changes and trying to leave without saving.
• Fixed an issue where the Suggest Tags dropdown on chatbot profiles would stay open after clicking outside of it.
• Fixed an issue where some buttons on the Add Member page on group chat creation were not translated properly when using another site language.
• Fixed an issue where the Auto Suggestion button on the Create Group page was not generating content for the Greeting and Scenario fields.

Mobile app fixes

• Fixed an issue where the Generate Image modal could not be scrolled properly while the keyboard was open, making some fields hard to access while typing.
• Fixed an issue where the Unsaved Changes popup appeared on the Create Chatbot page even when no changes had been made.

That’s it for this week.

As always, thank you for the reports and feedback. 💜

We’ve got a few updates to share this week, including one many of you have been waiting for.

Group Chat is now available on Android

Group Chat is now live in the Android app, so you can create and join multi-character conversations directly from mobile. Please update to the latest version to access it.

More local payment options for China, Pakistan, Bangladesh, India, Vietnam, and Argentina.

 (Please note that these are only one-time payment options, so you'll have buy a new subscription each month) 

Fixes & improvements

We also fixed several issues this week:

* Fixed an issue where Text To Speech (TTS) could not be played for the greeting message until after sending the first chat message. TTS should now be available on the greeting as soon as you open the chat page.

* Fixed an issue where, after an image generation request was blocked by moderation, previous conversation messages and generated images could temporarily disappear.

* Fixed an issue where Blocked Creators were not loading properly on web/app.

* Improved TTS word recognition to reduce cases where the voice could stutter or sound inconsistent.

* Fixed an issue where tags could disappear from chatbot profile pages, and the Suggest Tag option was not showing properly.

That’s it for this week.

As always, thank you for the feedback and reports — they help us find and fix these issues faster. 💜

Hey everyone 👋

We've got a few updates this week, including one we're especially excited to release for creators.

📈 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞

We're excited to introduce Creator Analytics. Creators can now access a new 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐀𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐲𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐬 dashboard to better understand how their characters are performing over time.

The dashboard gives you visibility into things like number of messages generated, engagement, ratings, and other performance signals that can help you understand what's working and where users are spending time.

You can also adjust the time range and view analytics for individual characters, making it easier to track performance across your creations.

A few things to note:

- Analytics are not real-time and update once every 24 hours.

- Analytics are private and only visible to the creator.

You can access analytics by visiting My Chatbots and clicking on Creator Analytics.

👥 𝐂𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐛𝐮𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐧 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐬

We've also added creator attribution in Group Chats.

On the Group Chat profile, the original creator's username will now appear under each chatbot name, making it clearer who created each character.

🔧 𝐅𝐢𝐱𝐞𝐬 & 𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬

- The 𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐧 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐩𝐬 setting now only appears for 𝐏𝐮𝐛𝐥𝐢𝐜 chatbots, since it doesn't apply to Private or Unlisted bots.

- Fixed an issue where 𝐋𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐚𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐭𝐬 were not loading properly.

In the next couple of weeks, we'll also improve Public Edit Moderation and prevent putting bots into review for changes like group settings, tags, etc.

That's it for this week. As always, thank you for the feedback 💜

Hey everyone! Here's a roundup of improvements and fixes we shipped this week — a lot of it driven directly by your feedback. 🙌

But before that, I just wanted to share...

Since its release just one week ago, GLAM 5.1 has quickly become a fan favorite. Users are calling it our most immersive, most human-feeling model yet — with characters that stay believable, stories that drive themselves, and writing that genuinely feels alive.

If you haven't tried it yet, you're truly missing out.

👉 𝐆𝐞𝐭 𝐆𝐋𝐀𝐌 𝟓.𝟏  

The weekly update now:

🔍 𝐒𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐡 & 𝐁𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠

✅ 𝐒𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐬. When you pick Latest or Popular, results stay sorted that way. Previously, relevance ranking could quietly override your choice — that's fixed, so browsing should feel a lot more predictable now.

✅ 𝐃𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐢𝐳𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐮𝐜𝐤. We fixed a frustrating bug where you could end up with multiple Definition Size filters selected and be unable to deselect them after certain page changes. You can now toggle them freely again.

🎨 𝐀𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐬

✅ 𝐅𝐞𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐟𝐚𝐥𝐬𝐞 "𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧" 𝐟𝐥𝐚𝐠𝐬. We resolved the issue where avatars were being wrongly flagged as real people. We've improved the system, so these false flags should be far less common going forward. We know it was annoying — thanks for your patience while we worked on it. 💜

✅ 𝐑𝐞𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐟𝐢𝐱𝐞𝐝. We resolved a bug where avatar generation could fail when using reference images. Image-based avatar creation should be much more reliable now.

As always, keep the feedback coming — it genuinely shapes what we fix next. 🚀

We're excited to officially introduce 𝐆𝐋𝐀𝐌 𝟓.𝟏, one of the most advanced and immersive roleplay models we've released on SpicyChat so far.

Based on feedback from our beta testers, here’s where GLAM 5.1 really stands out:

🎭 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐞. Stronger personality consistency. More believable behavior. They stay in character — even deep into long sessions.

✍️ 𝐖𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥𝐬 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧. Natural phrasing, real nuance, far less of that telltale AI cadence.

🎬 𝐒𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐨𝐰𝐧. Better scene progression, stronger initiative, fewer "now what?" moments where you're carrying the whole RP.

🎨 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐮𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲. Fresh dialogue, surprising turns, noticeably less repetition.

👥 𝐌𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢-𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐮𝐩. Distinct voices, clear dynamics, less confusion between characters.

One tester put it simply: 𝘐𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘮𝘺 𝘧𝘢𝘷𝘰𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘮𝘰𝘥𝘦𝘭 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘥𝘢𝘺.

𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐭

GLAM 5.1 is now available exclusively for I’m All In users.
If you’ve been waiting to experience the next level of roleplay on SpicyChat, now’s the perfect time to upgrade.

Get GLAM 5.1

𝐀𝐥𝐬𝐨 𝐧𝐞𝐰 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤

🔄 𝐒𝐤𝐲𝐥𝐞𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨 → 𝐒𝐤𝐲𝐥𝐞𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐞𝐝

We've replaced Skylee Pro with Skylee Seed, a newer and improved version of the model with overall better quality and performance.

⏳ 𝐔𝐩𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐌𝐨𝐝𝐞𝐥 𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐞𝐭

We'll also be sunsetting 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐮𝐦 𝟕𝟐𝐁 𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐱𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐭𝐰𝐨 𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐬. We know some of you still enjoy the model, so we wanted to give everyone advance notice before it's retired.

And finally… to everyone who managed to discover GLAM 5.1 yesterday before the official announcement 👀

Good job. You found the easter egg early.

As always, we'd love to hear your feedback once you've spent some time with the model. 💜

We've rolled out several improvements aimed at making the creator experience on SpicyChat smoother, more stable, and more predictable. Here's a clear walkthrough of what's new.

Human Review for Edits to Published Chatbots

Until now, edits made to already-published public chatbots were evaluated primarily through automated moderation. This worked well in most cases, but certain edits could occasionally require a closer look after publishing.

Going forward, edits submitted to already-published public chatbots will also be reviewed by our human moderation team, in addition to automated systems. This adds a second layer of care to the process and helps catch nuances that automated review alone may not.

While your edit is being reviewed, the currently approved version of your chatbot remains live and fully accessible. Your users can continue chatting with it without interruption, and you don't have to worry about downtime while waiting for the new version to be approved.

In short: stronger review, zero disruption.

Group Chat Controls

You now have direct control over whether your chatbot can be added to public group chats created by other users.

This option is available under Advanced Settings in the chatbot editor.

Please note: This setting applies only to future group additions. Chatbots that were already added to group chats before you toggle this setting will remain in those chats and won't be affected.

Lorebook Imports

You can now bring your existing lorebooks from other platforms directly into SpicyChat — no need to recreate them from scratch.

How to use it:

1. Go to the Lorebook creation page
2. Click Import
3. Upload your file and start using it right away

Bug Fixes & Improvements

• Fixed an issue where Lorebook entries attached to private bots were not functioning correctly
• Fixed an error that could appear when starting a Group Chat without selecting who sends the first message
• Added clearer limits and error messaging for Custom Voices, so it's easier to understand when a limit has been reached

One More Thing

Something significant also shipped today. We'll be sharing the full details tomorrow — see if you can spot it in the meantime.

Thank you, as always, for the feedback that continues to shape SpicyChat. We're excited to keep building alongside you.

We’re excited to roll out the next phase of our Text-to-Speech experience — and this one’s a big step forward.

You can now create your own custom voices and even assign them to your characters.

✨ What’s New

• Create Custom Voices
  Upload your own voice samples and generate a unique voice that you can use across your chats.
• Assign Voices to Your Characters
  Set a voice (custom or predefined) for your chatbot — so anyone chatting with your bot will hear that assigned voice.

This opens up a whole new level of immersion and personalization for your characters.

🛠️ How to Use

1. Go to Create → Voices
2. Add name and description 

3. Upload your audio samples (MP3, under 30 seconds each)

   • You can upload multiple samples for better results
4. Wait a few minutes for processing
5. Go to My Creations and find your voice
6. Once it shows “Ready for Preview”, listen and finalize the voice
7. After finalizing, you can start using it in chats or assign it to your chatbot

⚠️ Important:
Voices must be finalized before they can be used.

📌 Availability

This feature is currently available for I’m All In users.

We’re really excited to see what you create with this — custom voices can completely change how your characters feel and interact.

As always, we’d love to hear your feedback 💜

Improved Image Generation

Excited to let you know that we’ve released an updated version of the Qwen Conversation Image prompt generator.

When generating images in conversation, the underlying prompt should now be much more accurate, which should lead to more relevant and better-looking results.

It also now properly respects Prompt Prefix and Negative Keywords from Image Settings — something that wasn’t working reliably before.

Better Recommendations

On the discovery side, we’ve made a few improvements as well:

You’ll now continue to see Recommendations even when tags are applied, and they will respect the tags you’ve selected.

We’ve also increased the number of recommendations from 12 to 24, so you get more content to explore.

Group Chat Improvements

For Group Chat, a couple of UX improvements:

* The Add/Remove Members button is now easier to access and placed above the selected members list

* Added a Discard Changes confirmation when exiting group member selection with unsaved changes

That’s it for this week.

As always, feel free to share feedback — especially on the image generation improvements.

Hey everyone,

Sharing a quick update on some of the recent fixes and improvements, along with a few things we’re still actively working on.

We’ve made a small but important change to moderation — if your chatbot is in a “Fix Required” state, you won’t be able to chat with it until the required changes are made. This helps ensure bots meet the guidelines before being used again.

We’ve also added a new feature based on your feedback:

Disable Memory

You can now disable automatic memory generation in chats. This means the system won’t add new memories on its own, but any manually added or pinned entries will still be used.

This is useful if you want full control over the narrative and what information is carried forward. That said, for regular use, we don’t recommend disabling it, as it may make conversations feel less coherent.

🐞 Fixes

A number of issues have been addressed to improve day-to-day usage:

• Fixed an issue where reporting a chatbot would sometimes show a translation key instead of a proper success message.
• Fixed an issue where editing and saving a chatbot could still trigger an “unsaved changes” popup.
• Fixed an issue where long memory entries would overflow outside the UI container.
• Fixed an issue where the edit text area wouldn’t scroll properly for longer messages on web.
• Fixed an issue where the favorite button would keep loading infinitely for users who weren’t logged in.
• Fixed an issue where starting a new chat could sometimes carry over messages from a previous conversation.

⚠️ Ongoing Work

We’re aware some users are facing issues with avatar uploads, especially false “real person” moderation flags. We’re actively improving the models to reduce these false positives.

We’re also working on improving GIF uploads — currently files under 5MB should work, and we’re aiming to restore the 10MB limit soon.

That’s it for now — more improvements coming soon.

As always, really appreciate the feedback you’ve been sharing. It helps us move faster and fix things properly. 💜
