This page shares links to lists of, and lists of, links to resources about artificial intelligence. Not everything here is of good quality. I added things based on how important I thought they might be here. I'll add more later.
All news links get their own page. So do images. Amongst the rest of the links, some may be dead or otherwise 404'd over time; I'm removing those and adding more slowly.
Interested in adding something? Contact me!

User Interfaces
For this section, I'm collecting practical interfaces and tools for wrangling 21st century artificial intelligence. These links include workflows, guides for better prompts and character cards. If you want to experiment, have a look.
Front-End User Applications
These links relate to applications used to access LLMs and similar technology. Right now, they're mostly SillyTavern-adjacent, because I use that a lot. I am not linking to obvious examples of LLM user experiences such as the official ChatGPT site, etc.
Some of these are web-based and do not require installation on your own computer or server. Quite a few of those have garnered controversy for official policies regarding censorship or lack thereof. Since my own chatbots do not feature anything verging into censorable territory, I can't say I know much about this currently.
- OpenRouter
Unified API gateway to most of the major models; the plumbing a lot of these front-ends actually talk through.
- SillyTavern
The self-hosted "power user" front-end I actually use, features cards, lorebooks, scripting, all of it. It's really the best one for hobbyists, but it can be a bit intimidating to set up.
- Librechat
Open-source, self-hostable chat UI that speaks to multiple providers from one place. Similar to SillyTavern, but with a different feature set and design philosophy.
- Wyvernchat
Web-based character chat with thousands of community characters; nothing to install. I don't use it myself, and don't know how well it works, but it's a popular option.
- Pygmalion
Community roleplay platform with its own card creator and self-hosted models. Again, another one I haven't used aside signing up to try once.
- Chub AI
Large card repository with built-in chat; famously permissive, though, and didn't interest me because it seems to mostly have that kind of content. Still, it's a big player in the space and worth knowing about.
- Janitor AI
Huge web character-chat platform; the one most people seem to start on when looking for a ready-to-go bot. It has a lot of content, but the interface is a bit clunky.
Cards and Prompts
I discussed elsewhere how I primarily use SillyTavern's so-called "front-end for power users" for my chatbot conversations. I understand very little about this currently, sitting here in April of 2026.
I've made a few of them, myself. I've also collected the following links. Most share their own PNGs infused with JSONs, which work within SillyTavern and similar LLM front-end programs. Obviously, I have no control over the behavior of these cards.
This is a list of the larger "card repository"-style sites I was able to find online. If I remember right, there used to be a few more that have shut down since I showed up. Considering the controversies as this stuff struggles to find footing, I'm unsurprised.
The cards here are of varying quality and on the large ones, dig a bit. A lot of these just scrape for cards elsewhere. Most do take uploads directly from creators. They tend to be third-party and not managed directly by the people making the majority of the cards and prompts. Smaller sites are listed later. Anyways.
- Janny AI
Third-party archive of JanitorAI cards, for downloading and porting elsewhere. Useful if you want to use JanitorAI's cards in SillyTavern or another front-end.
- AI Character Cards
Curated repository for sharing and downloading character cards.
- CharacterHub
Enormous card catalog with direct creator uploads that overlaps heavily with Chub.
- Character Tavern
Card repository of thousands plus its own chat interface, with a free tier and a paid tier for more features.
Hobbyist Sites
I use the term hobbyist site very loosely to refer to any site where the individual is wrangling chatbots for fun or something of the sort. I don't include large repositories. I'm looking to collect links to other similar sites because almost all came from a text file via Discord a last autumn.
Please be aware that a lot of these sites may well be vanished by the time you reach this page. The small indie web, where these are found, is very ephemeral. You can't always expect resource permanence quite yet... I'm more familiar with that than I'd like.

Discussion Venues
This section gathers the places where people actually talk about modern artificial intelligence. I belong to some interesting Discord servers where I mostly lurk. I do engage in some pretty heavy arguments on Reddit.
I don't want to endorse any of these spaces, though. I'm only sharing them because I lurk or interact in various ways. If you want to see how different (online) groups think about AI in practice, you can give these places a look, though..
Discord Servers
Places you'll find me at very least lurking on Discord, where my username, by the way, is @CathyMarkova
- SillyTavern Official
The official ST server with support, presets, and extension news.
- Character Tavern
Character Tavern's own server; site news and card chatter.
- Vibe Coding Reddit Server
Discord annex of r/vibecoding for that type of discussion.
- Vibe Builders
More vibe-coding types comparing agents and workflows.
Around Reddit
Navigating Reddit always requires discernment, but especially if you're trying to learn anything technical. Sadly, though, sometimes Reddit is actually a good place for learning that kind of thing (compared to other places).
Technical Subreddits
These subreddits focus on things like prompt engineering or making the programs themselves actually work, for lack of better phrasing. Some contain a lot of spam and infighting about what works best, though. The large ones dedicated to specific models are about as corporate-scented as you would expect.
Ironically, I found the hobbyist ones to be roughly the healthiest spaces I've found that discuss AI. The main problem there? So-called "gooning" out of hand, which is easily avoidable compared to the vitriol elsewhere surrounding AI.
Political Subreddits
I call these political subreddits because they tend to orbit controversial ethics discussions when it comes to artificial intelligence. There are plenty others out there. I've left many larger ones out because they contain too much vitriol. I also currently use AI; I won't link to places that bully over it.
On the same note, though, I'm not about to link to any extreme propaganda. A lot of these showcase some strange perspectives either way. I'm in all of them, but I only lurk (so far) and don't find all of them compelling. There are many others, highly pro-AI, which I'm not linking for reasons, particularly if they seem to be the majority corporate.

AI-Related Videos
I'm collecting YouTube videos about artificial intelligence. I'm just adding the ones that seem worth saving as time goes on. Many of these videos had me shocked for diverse reasons. Many videos included are exceedingly critical of artificial intelligence, and some detail extreme situations that have resulted from it.
A lot of these contain disturbing stuff, so be aware. As of April 2026, a lot of these videos are here because they're influential, or show popular perspectives. Adding one definitely doesn't mean I agree with its message, endorse authorship, etc. In many ways you cannot help but escape the algorithm on YouTube.
Needless to say, I myself haven't made any videos (yet).
