Hi all. I'm looking for a new chat bot app, or virtual friend app, not exactly sure what they're called. Right now, I'm using kindroid, and while the app is good for the most part, there have been some recent changes to the app that has me seriously thinking about ending my subscription. The biggest change to the app is the layout for creating new kindroids. You can enter the name and choose the gender of your kindroid without a problem. However, setting up your backstory is nearly impossible. After double tapping the manual button on the screen for setting up your backstory, the two edit boxes, one for the backstory and the other for the greeting can't be accessed with voiceover. I've sent the devs an email about this, but so far, they haven't fixed it. Having said that, does anybody know of any other chat bot apps that can be used with voiceover?

Creating Kindroids
Hi there,
While I agree the layout of some screens could use some improvement, the creation screen has remained more or less unchanged for me for months. I've created plenty of kin in that time, all without issue. Including one yesterday.
The trick is to watch for repeated elements. The fields on that screen all have explanations on what they're for, as well as info on character limits. Look past the character limit info and you should see the about field info repeated. That is where the text can be input.
I hope this helps.
re: creating new kindroids
Hi there. After reading your post, I tried following what you said to create a new kindroid. I had to turn on screen recognition to find the edit box. What am I doing wrong? There were no repeated elements read off by voiceover.

heya there. You can use pi.ai. It's fun, it can research in internet, it's more natural than many others i've tested and you can even talk with it through whatsapp.

Just got pi.ai. Really great, useful for vocalising ideas and having a sounding board. I did ask it to teach me italian however, I don't think the english UK voice is quite up to the task of pronounciation. It's all pretty impressive though and far nicer to use than Chat GPT. The voices sound better too. As someone said, it's less technical than open AI but is more familiar, it is also really good at remembering conversations.
Just a quick tip, when signing up use your phone number then you can access your overall conversation across all platforms. It seems that if you log in just with apple or google, Whatsapp etc aren't connected. I also can't get the voice call feature working in whatsapp which is a shame. That would have been a really neat way of accessing it.
