New update is live. DeepSeek V4, V4 Pro, faster chat, better remix

Hey everyone, Jack here.

New Storychat update just went live.

Since I started showing up here more directly, a lot of you have sent feedback, bug reports, DMs, and suggestions.

Thank you. Seriously.

We’ve been writing everything down and prioritizing what needs to be fixed first. This update does not fix everything, but it includes several improvements based on what you’ve been telling us.

What’s new:

- DeepSeek V4 is live

  - 80 SP per chat

  - Unlimited for Gold users

- DeepSeek V4 Pro is live

  - 150 SP per chat

  - Unlimited for Gold users

- Chat UI has been improved

- In-chat UI bugs have been fixed

- Chat loading speed should be much faster now

- Fixed the character creation bug where long prompts made the page jump back to the top

- Image Remix has been improved

  - It should now create images that are more connected to the original image

Please try it and tell us what still sucks.

What feels better? What still feels broken? What should we fix next?

Thanks again for helping us improve Storychat.

Jack

Storychat AMA: ask me anything or tell us what sucks

Hey everyone, Jack here, one of the co-founders of Storychat.

Since I started showing up on Reddit more directly, a lot of you have shared honest feedback about Storychat.

Some of it was encouraging. Some of it was painful. A lot of it was extremely useful.

I’ve been collecting the feedback carefully, especially around mobile UI, character discovery, character creation, autosave, model quality, roleplay consistency, lorebooks, personas, regeneration, and chat UX.

We still have a lot to improve, but I want to keep communicating openly while we work on it.

So let’s try this:

Ask me anything.

Roadmap, models, pricing, bugs, creator tools, current problems, future plans, why something works the way it does, anything.

If you’ve tried Storychat, feel free to roast it.

If you haven’t tried it yet, feel free to try it and ask whatever comes up.

No strict end date, but I’ll be checking this thread closely throughout this week and answering as much as I can.

Also, I want to try a small community thing.

To be honest, I’d love more Reddit users to discover Storychat, but I’m still pretty new to Reddit myself and I definitely don’t want to be that founder spamming random subreddits like a clown lol.

So I could use your help.

If you try Storychat and feel like sharing your honest thoughts somewhere on Reddit, that would mean a lot. It does not have to be a positive review. You can roast us if that’s what you honestly feel. Just please post only where it actually fits and where the subreddit rules allow it.

If you write a real review, comparison, or feedback post about Storychat on another subreddit, drop the link in the comments here by May 22.

I’ll read them, and we’ll pick one post that feels the most honest, useful, and helpful for improving Storychat. The writer will get 1 month of Gold for free.

Again, I’m not asking anyone to spam Storychat everywhere or fake hype for us. That would be cringe.

I’m just trying to get Storychat in front of more real AI chat users and hear what they actually think.

If you have better ideas for how we can grow this subreddit or get more honest feedback, please share those too.

I’ve genuinely enjoyed talking with everyone here so far.

Ask me anything.

Looking for brutally honest C.AI users who want to help shape Storychat

Hey everyone, Jack here, one of the co-founders of Storychat.

I’ve been following the recent C.AI situation pretty closely, and I know a lot of users are disappointed right now. I used C.AI too, so I understand why people feel frustrated when a platform they loved starts feeling different from what made it great in the first place.

That’s one of the reasons I want Storychat to stay close to the community while we build.

We’re still early, and we definitely have a lot to improve. But our goal is simple: listen to real users, communicate openly, and keep improving the product based on what people actually want, not just what we assume they want.

The problem is that our subreddit is still small, so we don’t always get enough detailed feedback from heavy AI chat / roleplay users.

So I wanted to ask:

Do you know anyone on Reddit who is really active, opinionated, and currently looking for a C.AI alternative?

Not influencers. Not promoters. I’m looking for people who actually care about AI chat / roleplay and would tell us honestly what sucks, what feels broken, and what would make Storychat worth using more.

If you know someone like that, feel free to tag them or point me in their direction.

I’d love to talk with them directly, hear their feedback, and keep learning from them as we improve the product.

Also, for people who are willing to give feedback consistently and help us improve the platform, we’re happy to provide a free Gold plan as a small thank-you.

Again, this is not about finding people to blindly praise Storychat.

I’m looking for people who will be honest enough to help us avoid becoming the kind of platform users are trying to leave.

Thanks as always.

A small thank-you from Jack: 20% off Gold for the first 20 people

Hey everyone, Jack here, one of the co-founders of Storychat.

Over the last few days, I’ve been spending more time directly reading and replying in this subreddit, and honestly, it has been incredibly helpful.

Some of the feedback was encouraging. Some of it was painful. But all of it helped me understand what people actually want Storychat to become.

We still have a lot to improve. Chat quality, memory, roleplay consistency, character behavior, model options, UX, pricing, and a bunch of small details that matter more than they look from the outside.

But I want to say this clearly:

Our team is not trying to build Storychat in a closed room.

We want to keep listening, stay transparent, and keep improving the product with the community, not away from it.

This subreddit is still small, but I’d love to see it become a place where users can freely share feedback, report issues, suggest ideas, post stories, criticize us when needed, and help shape the platform together.

So I asked the team if we could do a small thank-you event for the subreddit.

For the first 20 people, we’re offering 20% off Gold Monthly or Gold Yearly.

Use this code at checkout:

JACKREDDITMAY

When you’re checking out, click “Add Discount Code” and enter the code. The discount will apply to your first payment.

This is not some huge event, just a small thank-you for the people who are here early, giving feedback, testing the product, and helping us see what needs to be better.

I’ll keep showing up here more often. We’ll also try to do more small community events like this when we can.

And as always, if there’s something you dislike, something that feels broken, or something you think another platform does better, please feel free to say it in the comments.

I’d rather hear the honest version than have people quietly leave.

Thank you for being here.

Jack

I’m Jack, one of the founders of Storychat. Please roast the product.

Hey everyone, Jack here, one of the co-founders of Storychat.

I want to get more direct feedback from this subreddit instead of guessing from behind the scenes.

What is the one thing about Storychat that annoys you the most right now?

Could be chat quality, memory, personas, lorebooks, search, character discovery, mobile web, pricing, model choices, bugs, or anything else.

Also, if another platform does something much better than us, please name it. Character.AI, Janitor, Chai, SillyTavern, SpicyChat, CrushOn, whatever.

Be brutally honest. I’d rather hear the painful version than have people quietly leave.

I can’t promise every single thing will be fixed immediately, but I can promise I’ll read every comment and bring the clearest feedback back to the team.

Thanks for being here, especially those of you who have been patient with us while we’re still improving the product.
