About Kobold AI
KoboldAI is open-source generative AI software optimized for fictional use, provided as a browser-based front end for AI-assisted writing. It works with local and remote AI models and includes Memory, Author's Note, World Info, save and load, adjustable AI settings, formatting options, and import of AI Dungeon adventures. Stories can be used as a novel, text adventure game, or chatbot, with an Adventure mode for AI Dungeon-style play.
Use requires the user to supply compute or a service, such as Google Colab, a graphics card, CPU, or an API key for a service such as OpenAI or Inferkit. Output quality depends on the chosen model or service, and CPU use is described as slower.
