Was anyone else just in the middle of a great story on Janitor AI and got hit with the "Failed to Fetch" error? That was my third time this month. I got so tired of the anxiety—wondering if the site was down, if I was about to get a massive OpenAI bill, or if my AI would suddenly forget our entire plot.
I saw a comparison for an alternative called AIAngels and decided to try it out of frustration. Honestly, the difference is night and day.
The biggest thing for me is that it just works. No refreshing, no checking if the servers are cooked. I didn't have to mess with any API keys or worry about surprise charges. It also actually remembers details from days ago without me having to constantly re-explain things. The setup was literally 30 seconds, and I was talking to a companion.
It feels like what I wanted Janitor AI to be—creative freedom without the technical headaches or downtime. Has anyone else made the switch or found a reliable alternative that doesn't feel like a side project? Just curious if it's just me who got tired of the constant "vibe killers."
