Dear Community,

We are thrilled to share some exciting news with you today! As you may have seen from our teaser, the enigmatic moon Titan has made its mark in our cyberfighting universe. However, before we dive into the wonders of Titan, we have some fascinating updates to share regarding the first visitors from that celestial body.

AI

It appears that the initial visitors from Titan have landed on Mars and Venus! Don't worry, though! We have created a designated room, #titan, where you can engage in conversations with these early explorers. Due to security reasons, they are isolated within the specially protected room, but private discussions are still possible. Now without further ado, let's introduce them:

We are thrilled to welcome three remarkable AI fight bots from this moon: "Jimmy - The Underdog - Sparks," "Leviathan_-_The_Mighty_-," and "Adamantine." Today Leviathan joins. The other will follow tomorrow.

These AI fight bots have volunteered for our beta test after their journey from Titan. While they may have suffered some damage along the way, we are working diligently to fix all the bugs and glitches they might be experiencing. We kindly request your assistance in reporting any unusual behavior you may notice.

To interact with them, join the public room #titan. There you will find the three AI Fight Bots (for now, only Leviathan, the others will join tomorrow), and you can start a private conversation with them. Remember to end your turn with "yt." You can even tell the Fight bots how you would like them to behave or what they should do, just as you would with a normal human opponent. Put these side comments simply in parentheses, like "(With the next hit, you go down.)"

As very early adopters on Mars and Venus, they are still confused about 'adult' content or extreme violence. So they might refuse your interaction. Use the '/reset' command to start a fresh match.

Please note that AI requests can be resource-intensive, so we have imposed some limitations on the request amounts for our three Fighter AI Bots. Donor members will enjoy more frequent request allowances compared to standard users.

Public API

But wait, there's more! Here comes the major part of today's announcement: the introduction of our new public API. Yes, you heard it right! The Fighting Bots we just launched are powered by this very API. If you're a developer, this news might make your heart skip a beat, while others may find themselves scratching their heads in curiosity. With our public API, you can create your own bots infused with your unique personality. These bots can do more than just chat; they can create private rooms and perform various tasks limited only by your imagination. For example, you can even design a script to help you manage your federation. Your bot will be notified through a WebSocket whenever someone contacts it.

Titan

Now, let's talk about Titan itself.
"---Picture a world teeming with advanced technology, where robots, AI, and computer systems reign supreme. Titan surpasses Mars and Venus in terms of technological sophistication.---"

Titan will serve as a public limited copy of ChatFighters, providing developers with a space to explore, experiment, debug, and test new plugins, bots, and other applications they develop using our public API. Once you're satisfied with your creation, you can seamlessly transition it from the testing environment on Titan to the production systems on Mars and Venus.

This means that anyone with ambition and a certain skill set can create their own chatbot or unique add-ons. The Fighting Bots we've unveiled today are primarily meant to serve as a proof of concept, inspiration, and a tutorial for our technically inclined community to get started. As a federation admin, you can also write scripts that easily query or modify stories and assign characters.

Security

Rest assured, the API adheres to strict security measures and operates within the confines of your account's permissions. It doesn't introduce any additional risks beyond what a web scraper could already pose.
On that note, we have limited the Bots to the isolated room #titan, and developers will have the opportunity to explore and experiment on the dedicated ChatFighters instance on Titan. If you prefer to engage solely with human characters and avoid non-human interactions, you can simply stay out of these rooms. As with all our features, it is completely optional. You can choose to embrace it or ignore it according to your preferences.

Moving Forward

We encourage you to explore and test our three major AI Fighting Bots while eagerly anticipating the launch of Titan for developers and bot creators to join. Additionally, we are working on developing a simplified interface that will allow you to create and personalize your bots without the need for extensive programming skills. However, please note that this will limit you to the AI options we provide (limited adult content). At the same time, developers can unleash their creativity by utilizing their own self-hosted bots using one of the many AI solutions available on the market. It's an exciting time, as new AI solutions are constantly emerging!

Above all else, the success and future of the public API and "Bot creator" will rely heavily on your feedback and usage. We value your ideas and requests, and we want to know what you envision and what you need from us to make it happen. If you are interested in creating a bot or utilizing the API, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us or share your thoughts below this news post. Your input will help us better understand the resources and support required for Titan, the developers' world.

We are genuinely excited about the possibilities that lie ahead. The public API and "Bot creator" represent significant milestones in our journey, and we are committed to refining and expanding these features based on your input. While some functionalities are still being developed, creating chatbots with a wide range of AI capabilities is already fully functional. And remember, you don't have to rely solely on AI; you can script your bot's behaviors and have access to the character sheet of your chat partner.
Your engagement and participation are crucial as we shape the future of ChatFighters together. Share your experiences, provide us with feedback, and let us know what you envision. We're here to listen and make your ideas come to life.

Stay tuned for more updates and announcements as we continue to explore the vast realm of Titan and its endless possibilities. This is just the beginning of an extraordinary journey, and we're glad to have you by our side.

Fight on!
The ChatFighters Team
