Poly AI Chat-Pros, Cons and Alternatives

Poly AI is a rapidly emerging AI chat product that is very popular among young people, featuring innovative and diverse functionalities. It is a product with several notable advantages, but users on Reddit and Discord have also pointed out some of its shortcomings.

Next, I will summarize these highlights and drawbacks and provide some alternatives to AI chatbots, so you can better choose an AI chat product that meets your needs.

Pros of Poly AI

Role-play and Immersive Experience

The text quality is really good, making people interested in continuing the role-playing and developing the story. It feels very natural and doesn’t force the character in a mechanical way.

(PS: I have tried many NSFW AI chats, but this is the first time I’ve been so immersed in a role for over half an hour, truly co-creating our story together.)

Character Model, 3D Interaction

The homepage ‘discover’ page features an ‘Animated Chat’ panel as shown in the image. Choose a character from here, and you won’t regret it.

As shown in the image, the chat page for these characters will have a 3D illustration on the left side, which will remain dynamic and perform small actions.

What’s more fun is that you can click on him with the mouse to trigger some of his actions, such as extending his hand, shaking his wrist, and so on.

Every sentence has a response, Text comprehension and interaction are strong.

What surprised me the most about Poly AI was that while I was chatting normally with the character, he suddenly made an angry expression.

I realized that he could react with specific facial expressions based on my messages.

This creates a great sense of immersion and interactivity.

Moreover, he really pays attention to understanding every word I say during our conversation.

Virtual bloggers and promising future.

The budbud page is a very innovative feature where users become virtual bloggers, and you can choose the type of your fans (as shown in the image, at least three).

In this feature of PolyAI, users can post freely without restrictions. Your virtual followers will engage in discussions with you in the comments section. I believe this is an exploration of virtual social interaction.

Limitless Chat

The chat content on Poly AI is unrestricted, which means you can freely discuss NSFW content. This undoubtedly adds greater fun and playability to the experience.

It doesn’t have these filters, so you can say anything you want to the bot and do anything you like.

Cons of Poly AI

Interaction, dynamic actions, and character expressions are limited.

The 3D character interactions in Poly AI are still too few, and the dynamic actions are just a few seconds of looping playback. There are very few dialogues that trigger character expressions.

If the diversity of interactions were increased, Poly AI’s advantages would be more pronounced.

Short and confusing memory.

Many users report that Poly AI’s memory is very short and confusing, with instances of memory suddenly disappearing occurring frequently.

One solution is to tell the character to revisit certain messages, which may help.

Language model is not as refined as c.ai.

“The robot’s language model is not as sophisticated as that of c.ai,” users believe that Poly AI’s strength lies in its product creativity, making it more suitable for role-playing, while c.ai’s language model allows for more casual conversation, though it has too many filters.

Budbud AI responses have a high repetition rate.

While the concept of Budbud is good, the current experience is average, and the comments section feels robotic and somewhat fake. There hasn’t been a substantial content and meaningful interaction established.

There are message prompts on the left side of the message box. Most of these AI-generated responses are quite intelligent. There are three distinct options available, which help alleviate the dilemma for users who either do not know how to chat or do not wish to think too much.
