What would you like to do?

Miso

You only need one working model connection and one character to begin. We can leave the elaborate setup until you've actually had some fun.

A quick look inside

Neconyan is an app for character chat and writing that you run yourself, on a computer, server, Android phone or iPhone. Open it in a browser or the phone app. You choose the model that writes the replies, through an online provider or your own hardware. Installing Neconyan doesn't include model access or credits.

The screenshots use staged conversations with the bundled assistants. They're real app screens, with example content rather than someone's private chat history. See about these docs for the source version and credits.

Meet your guides

Miso takes you through the first steps. Taro handles settings and the things that have stopped behaving. Nori helps develop characters and plot complications.

Open Your guides above to choose male, female or neutral for each of them. Their artwork and pronouns follow your choice throughout the handbook. Their advice stays useful. Taro's puns remain a separate problem.

Neconyan doesn't include model credits. Check your provider's charges before enabling extra helpers. The small print is now normal-sized print.
