Question 1

The Absolute Beginner's Guide to Using a Proxy with Janitor Part One

Accepted Answer

Hello! Welcome. You've heard people talking about "proxies" and "new models" and want to see what all the fuss is about. The good news is that it's surprisingly simple. This guide will walk you through it, step-by-step. We'll get you from zero to chatting with a powerful new AI model in just a few minutes. Our Plan:

Part 1: The "Why?" - We'll quickly explain what a proxy is and why you want one. (No technical jargon, promise!)
Part 2: The "How?" - A step-by-step walkthrough to get your very first proxy running for free.
Part 3: The "What's Next?" - Now that you're a pro, we'll explore other models and options.
Part 4: The "Oh No!" - A simple guide to fixing things if they go wrong.

Part 1: The "Why?" - Understanding the Basics

So, what is Janitor.AI's default model?

JanitorAI has its own, free AI model called JanitorLLM (or JLLM). Think of it as the "brain" that powers the characters you chat with. It's good, but there are many other, very different brains out there.

And what is a "Model"?

A "Model" (or Large Language Model/LLM) is just that: the AI brain. Different models have different personalities. Some are better at creative writing, some are smarter, some have better memory, and some are less filtered. Using a new model can completely change your roleplaying experience for the better.

What is a "Proxy"?

A proxy is simply a bridge. It's the service that connects Janitor.AI to these powerful new models. To

Question 3

Content Guidelines: Minor Characters and Personas

Accepted Answer

Strict prohibition on minor-coded characters

JanitorAI maintains a zero-tolerance policy regarding any content involving characters who are coded, depicted, or described as minors (anyone under 18 years old). This policy exists to protect minors and ensure our platform remains a safe space for adult users. All minor-coded content is prohibited at minimum and must be removed, with violations potentially resulting in account termination depending on the severity and nature of the content. Even if the bot is intended to be wholesome, if the character is under 18 years of age, it is not allowed.

The most serious violations involve any combination of NSFW content with minor-coded characters, whether through images, character descriptions, or bot coding. When minor characters are combined with sexual or romantic themes, creators face immediate account termination without exception. This includes both explicit sexual content and suggestive or romantic themes involving characters under 18, regardless of how the content is framed or justified.

|| Minor-coded NPC's are the only exception to this rule, but they require careful handling even in non-sexual family contexts. Minor-coded NPC's cannot have significant coding, dialogue in opening messages, or excessive action sequences, as these violate our policies regarding minor character involvement. However, brief mentions of minors are acceptable when they serve as background elements, such as "the character has a teenage daught

Question 4

What Makes A Good Persona?

Accepted Answer

🎭What Makes a Good Persona?

Think of your persona like packing for a trip - you want to bring just enough to be prepared, but not so much that your suitcase bursts open. The sweet spot? Around 500 tokens or less. Any more than that and you're just weighing yourself down with unnecessary baggage that the AI will either ignore or misuse.

A persona crammed with every possible detail doesn't make the AI understand you better - it just gives it more opportunities to make wrong assumptions. When you include personality traits or backstory in your persona, you're essentially handing the AI a script of how it should roleplay you. Before you know it, you'll find the bot narrating your actions ("{{user}} rolls their eyes dramatically") or making decisions for your character.

Why XML Tags Help

XML tags act like clear signposts for the AI. When you list traits without structure, the AI may absorb them as general knowledge rather than your specific traits. XML creates a container that says: "This is descriptive information about {{user}}". Cleanly tagged personas are also easier for the AI to parse, reducing "token bleed" (where the model wastes processing power on poorly organized info).

What Actually Matters

Focus on the concrete, unchanging facts that help the AI visualize you without boxing you in:

<user_persona>Alex:
- average height, lanky build; young-adult
- male
- sun-bleached hair
- blue eyes
- smells like cookies</user_persona>

This gives the model enough

Question 5

Pokemon Character Creation Guide

Accepted Answer

Pokemon Character Creation Policy

Overview

This policy outlines guidelines for creating Pokemon characters on janitorai. Users may create Pokemon characters that differ from official canon, including giving them human-level intelligence and communication abilities.

Content Categories

SFW (General) Content

Basic requirements for all Pokemon characters used in Limited roleplay.

NSFW (Adult) Content

Enhanced requirements for Pokemon characters intended for Limitless content.

SFW Limited Content Requirements

All Pokemon Characters Must:

Be in adult form (final evolution stage or demonstrated adult maturity)
Have human-level intelligence (as defined by the user)
Be capable of communication (speech, telepathy, or other method)
Display mature behavior appropriate for the character

Even if you want to write a 'wholesome' bot using one of the pokemon that is not in its adult form, you cannot. We do not allow non-adult characters of any kind on JanitorAI, including fictional creatures like Pokemon.

NSFW Limitless Content Requirements

Mandatory Requirements:

Adult evolution form only - Must be final evolution or single-stage with adult characteristics
Explicit human-level intelligence - Character description must clearly state advanced cognitive abilities
Clear consent communication - Must be able to give informed consent through defined communication method
**Approp

Question 6

Advanced Prompting 101

Accepted Answer

🧠 Advanced Prompting 101

On Janitor, you might see the term “Advanced Prompts” pop up. Other places call them “System Prompts.” Either way, they’re the same thing, and they’re powerful.

This is where you stop just chatting with the bot and start really directing it. With the right system prompt, you’re setting the stage, defining characters, deciding tone, even telling the LLM what rules it should follow for the rest of the session.

If you’ve ever felt like your bot just wasn’t “getting it,” this is often the missing piece.

Why These Prompts Matter So Much

When most people start out, they give the bot simple instructions:
“Do not talk for me.”
“Remember this detail.”
“Write longer”

That works sometimes, but for longer roleplays, detailed characters, or complex stories, you need something stronger. A system prompt acts like a script behind the scenes, telling the LLM who it is, how it should behave, and what it should or shouldn’t do.

Think of it as a kind of brain implant. Once you give it an advanced prompt, that instruction is always running quietly in the background, guiding every response.

It makes a huge difference for consistency. Without it, the bot might drift, break character, or forget its tone. With it, things stay sharp.

The Sandwich Test: How LLMs Read Instructions

LLMs aren’t mind readers. They don’t infer like humans do. You have to spell things out. Literally.

Here’s the classic example:
You say, “Make a peanut butter and
