The Figgs AI Alternative with Real Group Chats
Figgs AI shut down in late 2024, and its signature feature — multiplayer character rooms — mostly died with it. Reverie is the alternative that actually has it: multi-character group chats where the whole cast talks.
Figgs AI stood out for one thing most platforms still don't offer: group scenes with multiple AI characters. When it closed in late 2024, its community scattered across apps that only do one-on-one chat. Reverie is the natural landing spot — true multi-character group chat is a core feature, joined by conversation branching, interactive stories, personas, and a choice of top AI models.
Key Differences:
Reverie is live and actively developed — Figgs AI is permanently offline
Reverie has true multi-character group chats where characters respond to each other, just like Figgs rooms
Reverie adds conversation forking, so any group scene can branch into alternate timelines
Reverie offers multiple premium AI models instead of a single fixed model
Reverie extends beyond chat with interactive stories, an AI novel writer, and Discord/Telegram bots
Feature-by-Feature Comparison
| Feature | Reverie | Competitor |
|---|---|---|
| Group Chats | Multi-character group chats with shared scene memory - characters react to each other, not just to you | Group rooms were the signature feature, but the service is permanently offline |
| NSFW Content | Fully unrestricted with age verification - explore any scene without censorship | Relatively permissive while live, but access ended with the shutdown |
| Long-term Memory | Advanced long-term memory across solo chats and group scenes | Basic memory that struggled in longer group sessions |
| AI Models | Multiple premium models: Gemini 3, DeepSeek V4 / R1, GLM 5, MiMo V2 - choose per conversation | Single in-house model with no user choice |
| Conversation Features | Conversation forking, personas, interactive stories, AI novel writer, character moments | Group and solo chat - no branching, stories, or structured modes |
| Pricing | Generous free tier with affordable premium plans - group chat included free | Free while it lasted; the platform shut down rather than monetize sustainably |
Why Figgs Users Land on Reverie
Group Chat Is a Core Feature, Not a Gimmick
Reverie's group chats do what Figgs rooms did and more: characters read the whole scene, respond to each other, and keep shared memory of who said what.
Branch the Scene Anywhere
Fork a group conversation at any message to play out a different outcome — something Figgs never had. The original thread stays intact.
A Sustainable Platform
Figgs shut down rather than find a business model. Reverie has one: a real free tier plus optional premium plans, with continuous development funded by people who choose to pay.
Your Group, Everywhere
Run multi-character scenes on the web, in your Discord server, or in a Telegram group. Each character appears with their own name and avatar.
What Figgs AI Did Well
Pioneered Casual Group Roleplay
Figgs made multiplayer character rooms feel effortless and fun, and proved there's real demand for AI scenes with more than two participants.
Genuinely Free
Figgs was free without aggressive paywalls — admirable for users, though it's also part of why the platform couldn't survive.
Pricing: Free Group Chat, Sustainable Platform
Group chat on Reverie is part of the free tier — you don't pay to bring a cast together. Premium plans exist for people who want stronger models and higher limits, which is exactly what keeps the lights on.
Reverie Pricing
Reverie offers a generous free tier including group chats, with affordable premium plans for advanced AI models, unlimited messaging, and priority access.
Competitor Pricing
Figgs AI: Was free during its run. The service shut down in late 2024 and is no longer accessible at any price.
Figgs AI Shutdown & Switching Questions
What happened to Figgs AI?
Figgs AI shut down in late 2024. The website and apps went offline, and user characters and rooms became inaccessible.
Does Reverie have group rooms like Figgs?
Yes. Multi-character group chat is one of Reverie's core features: add several characters to one conversation and they interact with you and with each other, with shared memory of the scene.
Do characters actually talk to each other in Reverie group chats?
Yes — characters read the whole scene before responding, so they answer each other's lines, take sides, and build dynamics over time rather than replying to you in rotation.
Is Reverie free like Figgs was?
Reverie's free tier includes group chat, character creation, and stories. Unlike Figgs, there are also optional premium plans — which is what keeps the platform sustainable.
Can I recreate my Figgs characters on Reverie?
Yes. If you saved your character descriptions, the plain-language character creator makes rebuilding fast. Reverie also supports character import formats.
Does Reverie support NSFW group scenes?
For age-verified adults, yes — group chats follow the same uncensored policy as solo chats. The default experience is SFW.
Can I run a group scene in Discord like a Figgs room?
Yes. The Reverie Discord bot supports multiple characters per channel, each with their own name and avatar — the closest thing to a Figgs room that exists today, inside the server you already have.
How do I get started?
Create a free account, pick two or three characters from the library (or rebuild your own), and start a group chat. The scene takes about two minutes to set up.
