I built a directory for AI roleplay characters: https://www.characteraibots.com
The problem: Character.AI and similar platforms have thousands of characters, but discovery is poor. Users spend hours browsing to find quality characters.
My solution: A curated directory with ratings, search, and filtering across multiple platforms (Character.AI, JanitorAI, SpicyChat).
Tech stack:
– Next.js 14 with SSR
– Dynamic sitemap generation
– SEO optimized (canonical URLs, OG images)
– Mobile responsive
Features:
– 50+ curated characters
– Search by name, type, tags
– Category browsing (Yandere, Tsundere, Vampire, etc.)
– Ratings and popularity rankings
– Multi-platform support
The site is completely free. I’m considering monetization through featured listings or API access.
Open to feedback and suggestions!
