How to Import Cai to Janitor Ai: Debunking Viral Hacks and Fake Tools
By Alexander Ross
Q1: Can I automatically transfer a private Character.AI bot created by another user?
A1: No. If a creator keeps their character definitions hidden on Character.AI, that data remains protected on the platform's backend servers. Any tool claiming it can "extract" private or hidden definition prompts is either exploiting temporary security vulnerabilities that risk your account or distributing credential-stealing malware. You must rebuild the character manually based on observed behavior.
Q2: Why did my imported bot stop remembering events after twenty messages?
A2: Memory retention depends on your chosen backend model and the context size allocated in your Janitor AI API settings. If your character definition and example dialogues consume 3,000 tokens out of a 4,096-token context limit, the model only has roughly 1,000 tokens left to remember conversation history. Streamline your personality definitions and utilize Janitor AI's "Chat Memory" (Lorebook) window to pin critical story points permanently.
Q3: Is importing character cards into Janitor AI free?
A3: Yes. Janitor AI does not charge users to create characters, import Tavern-card PNGs, or run chats through its free native JanitorLLM beta. Costs only apply if you decide to connect third-party paid API keys from external model providers such as OpenAI, Claude, or AWS Bedrock.
