/aicg/ Extra links

TLDR

Consciously choose a frontend [1]. Download a character [2]. Set up a supported API [3.1]/[3.2]. Optionally write or import a jailbreak and the stylistic instruction prompts (aka presets) [4].

BotPrompts
https://botprompts.net

https://files.catbox.moe/y2s0ix.png

Booruplus
https://booru.plus/+pygmalion
This was the oldest dedicated /aicg/ character card hosting, until the end used mainly by /aicg/ uploaders; the minimalistic UI was content focused.
