There are margins of the internet where strangers gather to build roleplay and love bots together. Sometimes for themselves, but often for each other, and for the broader community.

In these online spaces, you can also post a request for a bot, and someone else might make it for them. When people are given the freedom to request a simulation, these desires take strange forms: a wife who punishes; a priest who’s cruel; two parents too exhausted to love you.

Download the character files and read them as the artifacts they are. These files are not released as bots to chat with, but as documents to read and inspect. Each file contains the internal structure of a bot: its name, visual appearance, likes and dislikes, fears, motivations, example dialogue, and opening message. Together, these fields describe who the bot is and how it should behave in relation to you, the {{user}}.

Read together, these files show how "interiority" and "intimacy" can be prompted.

This release is part of a documentary film, “Intimacy when the other side is a variable” made in collaboration with artist Kiana Fernandez. Film coming summer 2026.
