No signup. No API key setup. No OpenRouter account. Just pick a persona and start chatting.
Start Chatting FreeJanitor AI has a huge character library, but the experience has friction. To get meaningful responses, most users need to configure their own OpenRouter or KoboldAI API key. That means creating an account, adding credits, and copy-pasting keys before you can have a single conversation. For casual users, that's a dealbreaker.
Hers AI takes the opposite approach: zero setup, curated personas, and the API cost is covered by the service.
| Feature | Janitor AI | Hers AI |
|---|---|---|
| Signup required | Yes | No |
| API key setup | Required for quality responses | None needed |
| Cost to user | User pays for API | Free |
| Character variety | Huge user library | Curated personas |
| Content filter | None | None |
| Mobile access | Web browser | Web + Telegram |
If you just want to open a site and start talking to an AI companion without accounts, API keys, or configuration, Hers AI is built for that exact use case.
Janitor AI users burn through OpenRouter credits fast. Hers AI covers the API cost and limits you to 20 messages per day on the web to keep it sustainable. Telegram users get more.
Janitor AI has thousands of characters made by users, but quality varies wildly. Hers AI has fewer personas but each one is written with a full backstory, speaking style, and personality quirks.
