The team hates that this is where we are right now, but WyvernChat will begin blocking access to users in the United Kingdom (England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland) starting July 24th at Midnight GMT+1. (Republic of Ireland... you're still cool.)

We know this is incredibly short notice, and we’re truly sorry. There’s no realistic way for our team to meet these demands without setting up a PII nightmare for all parties involved.

🧾Why This Is Happening

The Online Safety Act is a sweeping regulatory framework that imposes enterprise-grade legal obligations online platforms, big or small.

This isn’t sustainable for platforms like ours and noncompliance comes with massive fines and potential jail time.

💔To Our UK Community

You’ve been with us from the beginning. Your creativity, feedback, and support have helped shape WyvernChat into what it is today. Losing you, even temporarily, is painful. Where else will we get our tea?!

Please know: your accounts will not be deleted unless you request it. When we find a path forward, we want you to be able to pick up right where you left off.

🗺️What Comes Next

As of July 24th, UK users will be met with a block page. This may not be permanent. We’re exploring paths toward compliance in the future.

In the meantime, if you’re as frustrated about this as we are, there’s an official petition asking Parliament to reconsider their approach:
👉https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/722903

This whole situation has been heartbreaking. But we’re not giving up. We'll be watching for updates and clarifications in the coming weeks on the law's compliance mechanisms.

Thank you for understanding.
We’ll keep building and we’ll be back together again at some point.

Howdy folks!

I know it’s been a while since the Substack has been active, but it’s not for lack of site updates! I’m currently looking into posting our Dev Notes/Patch Notes directly via the site itself, but this update is pretty major, so I figured I’d share the patch notes here as well!

🎭 Major Features

Group Chat System

Turn Order Management: New sidebar section for configuring character turn order in group conversations.
Dynamic Character Management: Added \"Add Character\" button in the manage characters section for easy group expansion
Smart Reply Selection: New character picker button in the input bar for group chats when advanced turn order is disabled
Dedicated Group Chat Tab: Added a new tab in the left sidebar specifically for managing group conversations

Chat Summaries

Summary Management System: New sidebar section for creating, managing, and enabling chat summaries
Conversation Context: Keep track of long conversations with AI-generated summaries
Custom Summary Controls: Configure when and how summaries are generated for your chats

User Impersonation

Role-Playing Enhancement: New impersonation feature in chat input options menu
Persona Switching: Seamlessly switch between different user personas during conversations
Enhanced Character Interaction: More immersive roleplay experiences with dynamic persona changes

Chat Page

Return of Queue Cooldown Visibility: There is now an enforced 15-second cooldown between generation times. This was previously visible pre-April chat page update, but got missed in the noise. It has now returned in the form of a progress bar with a timer on it.

🔧 QOL

Terminology Updates

\"Bookmarks\" Instead of \"Inventory\": Updated terminology across the platform for better clarity and user understanding.
\"AI Connections\" Refinement: Across the site, we now use \"AI Connections\" instead of \"LLM services\" for consistent terminology.

Character Management

Shared Info Field: New \"Shared Info\" field in character forms for details visible only to other characters during group chats

Story Mode

Settings Popup Fields: Redesigned the settings pop-up in Story Mode to fix a longstanding bug with fields disappearing.

Home Page

Redesigned Blog Section: The blog section of the homepage has been redesigned.
Dynamic Character Count: We now have a dynamic character count in the first header you see on the site, and it’s animated!
By the numbers section: We now display our total count of users, characters, bot creators, and chat logs with animated counters!
$\"\"$
Statistics as of June 5th, 2025.

🚧 Bugs

Chat Page

Fixed Stopping Generation: Stopping a generation early no longer loses the progress of the generation that was there

Character Statistics

Stats Page Reconstruction: Temporarily replaced Character Stats Page with \"Under Construction\" placeholder
Improved Analytics Coming: Preparing for a completely redesigned statistics view with more accurate and comprehensive data

Profile Page

Dead Link Fix: Editing a profile no longer takes you to a dead link.

What's Missing

I sadly did not have time to do \"EVERYTHING\" for both Summaries & Group Chats. So, we will be getting the following in the next patch:

Auto Multi Reply for Group Chats

I really wanted to get this out now, as I feel it's a major part of the experience, but I opted for a stable approach for now, which is just one character at a time replying, but alternating. You can fake multi-reply by just clicking the send button with nothing in your input area, this will just trigger the next character reply.

Auto Summaries & Custom Summary Model

I also really wanted to get summaries to be completely hands off, with the user being able to select a range of messages and an interval for summarization. I did not get that done. But, it is still planned and coming.

Custom Impersonation Prompt & Model

I straight up didn't even think about this until a QA tester asked about it, so while I didn't think on it at the time, it will be coming. I may also include the option to pick an alternate model for impersonation, as it seems that might be useful as well.

What's Next

Well, we're still bug fixing and optimizing performance across the application, and of course, I'll be working on what didn't make it into the patch this time. I think we will probably be spreading these patches out from 1 per week to 1 every two weeks. If we're ready at the one-week mark, we will of course release. However, I also want to give more time for features to be fully fleshed out before release. I probably should've delayed today's patch to finish up the above, but I know a lot of you were foaming at the mouth for this one. If you experience bugs, please report them.

Hope it works for you, and I hope you enjoy the new features.

See ya soon!

Howdy folks. I come to you bringing good tidings and news from the dark, damp cave we store myself and the rest of the dev team inside. For about a month, the team and I have been cracking away at the largest, most ambitious backend and functionality shift we’ve embarked on since the migration from a static Firebase application to a Next.js application with a proper backend. That won’t mean much to most of you, but trust me, there has been a very good reason why we as a team have been so quiet (we’ve been busy).

What does that mean?

This means that in the future, it will be a lot easier and quicker for us to implement functionality changes. It also means that the chatting experience should be a lot more stable in terms of persistence and ease of use. We’ve gone ahead and fully redone the entire chat page, the entire chat log system, and our entire connection stack. This means you will need to use a converter (located at /chat/convert) to convert your old chat logs into fancy new ones! We’ve gone the route of allowing you to pick which ones you want to convert, but you can also do it in bulk if you prefer. It also means that now we have Featherless account linking and a new simple mode that allows you to pick a free queue model or a Featherless model (this requires an API key or an account link, either works), and it will create a connection with optimal instruct and parameters from the API. We, of course, allow users to override the defaults (now done per model/per connection for free queue) as well, and custom connections that don’t use any of our fancy systems are also available.

Featherless Account Linking

First up, let’s talk about the main event; Featherless AI account linking. Gone are the days of entering API keys on every device you own, and today we bring you the ability to link your Featherless Account & WyvernChat account. This lets you utilize all of the models on your plan in a streamlined view inside the chat page.

These models are automatically assigned the defaults provided by the Featherless API; this includes instruct templates and basic settings parameters.

Cloud AI Connections

You can link API keys to the backend; they will be encrypted and can be used across devices.

Cloud AI Connections? Why don’t I get to use them in Story or Scenario mode?

We haven’t got there yet. It’s coming, but we’ve elected to go for an iterative push where we overhaul one section at a time. You will still be using the connections saved per device for Story & Scenario mode.

Hang on. Where is the model list thing for providers that aren’t Featherless? It’s a text box?

Yeah, I know. I’m working on it, and we will get a better version similar to the last one available. I just did this one for now, so you guys can still use other providers while I finish the better implementation.

Uh, is the chat page missing older features?

Yep. They aren’t gone forever, though; they’re just being redone to be better. Impersonation, Chat Summaries, and… actually, I think that’s it for what’s missing are actively being worked on. Chat Summaries, in particular, are now going to be automatic shortly and will come with history. That’s right, if you get a bad summary, you can just choose to go back to the other one, or the one before that, or any in the same chat log!

Chat Page

Simple & Advanced modes are the best of both worlds. Allowing for those of us who want a simplistic easy experience to just pick models without worrying about bad samplers or confusing templates.

Using the same free queue models or with any model on featherless.

Or with completely custom connections inside of advanced mode.

Now, with editable instruct templates, connection-tied parameters, and many upgrades to the Chat UI. You can now edit your own characters inside the chat UI.

And with a much better command menu and many more commands in development.

With a brand new sidebar.

And the ability to select personas easily and in an obvious way.

With a new debug menu to view prompts directly in app, no matter the device.

And a new delete mode.

And the ability to reset to a specific point in a chat log.

Brand New Characters Page

AND NOW MY GREATEST CREATION-

Behold, the Character Random-inator!

Finally, there is an easy way to decide what character to use—without deciding yourself! This is perfect for folks like me who have trouble with decision paralysis.

Coupon Code For FeatherlessAI

To celebrate the launch of the new account link and better integration, we’ve decided to give everyone a fancy new coupon code!

WYVERN-REVAMP

This will be for 20% off FeatherlessAI and expires on April 15, 2025, at 12:00 PM PDT! Use your newfound model list wisely, and have fun!

Wrapping Up

Well, I know some of you are going to be disappointed with this update, given some of the missing previous features. However, I think that we’ll be able to get the new, better versions out fast enough to satisfy folks. You should receive summaries, impersonation, and the token budget viewer shortly, and all of them will be in better form than before.

Here is a list of everything the team is working on for release within the next week or two:

User Impersonation
Advanced Automatic Chat Summaries
Advanced Token Budget Tab
Branch viewer (with visualized branching structure)
Custom Provider model selector
Group Chats

There will be a few other fixes and surprises I may have missed in my discussion here, and I’m sure you’ll find a few of them. I look forward to returning to a regular patch schedule, with updates rolling out whenever we get them fixed, just like before. This release has given me and the dev team a lot of anxiety, and I hope you all like the new changes as much as we do. Thanks for reading!

Hello everyone, it's been a bit since I did an update that wasn’t just something about policy or what have you, so I’ve decided to write up a bit of a sneak peek at what’s coming to WyvernChat in the weeks to follow and what we’ve been so quiet about.

WyvernCards

So, I guess to start, let’s talk about what’s changing and why. Well, first, we’re overhauling our entire character system to allow for more expansive options when creating characters. We’ve added a number of new dynamic fields to cards, and we’ve also reduced the number of boxes to fill overall. As to why we’ve done this, it’s to reduce the complexity of card creation for new users. We will be introducing a template system for card creation, which will hopefully help users when it comes to structuring how a character is built. We will allow users to create custom templates, and they will be sharable with the community.

While I don’t want to spoil too much, we’ve also decided to merge the Scenario and Character system into one new type of object called a “Card.” there are Chat RP cards (traditional) and Adventure cards (scenario mode currently). We will also be redoing the entire UI for Scenario Mode and revamping it to be closer to the quality we want to strive toward as a team.

Even though we're making WyvernChat easier to use, don't think that this streamlining has removed customization options from you. If anything, we have a lot more up our sleeves for the power users among us looking for that highly tailored experience.

Preset Overhaul

We’ve added a number of improvements to how LLM settings presets are created and how they are applied, now with more robust custom parameter entry and an easily expandable parameter bank to create your presets with.

Instruct Templates

We’ve also finally added the ability to create, share, and customize instruct templates with other users.

Model Search

We’ve added a new model search page, and-

model reviews, a way to view available providers for a model, and a way for models to come with LLM parameters and instruct templates that work well with that model.

Card Revamp

We’ve also redesigned the cards to be more compact when outside the main search.

Chat Page (Preview)

We’ve also added various new QOL features to the chat page, like live editing of a character, group chats, custom turn order, in-chat parameter editing, and a new positioning and resizing system for most UI elements.

Thank you for reading about the latest in-progress changes to WyvernChat, and I hope this excites you for the future of the site. I know I am increasingly pleased with the direction of the new UI, and I hope that when it is released (iteratively) in the coming months, you’ll all enjoy it as well.

See ya folks.
