Troupe features
Troupe is a multi-character AI roleplay and interactive story app at troupechat.app, made in Ontario, Canada. This page describes what it does, in plain words.
Multi-character scenes
In Troupe, one story has a whole cast. You write as yourself, and the AI characters answer, each in their own voice. Characters talk to you and to each other.
For every turn a director chooses who speaks next and an actor writes that character’s line, so a scene with several characters stays coherent.
Characters, worlds and stories
Create characters with their own descriptions and personalities, worlds with lorebooks (notes about places, history and rules), and stories that bring a cast together in a scenario.
Story memory for long stories
Troupe keeps the recent part of a story word for word, writes rolling summaries of older parts, and searches the whole story history for earlier moments that matter now. Characters can recall what happened long ago.
There is no fixed story length. With Troupe AI each reply gets a context window of about 8,192 tokens on Free and 16,384 on Pro; your own key uses your model’s own context.
Choose your AI: Troupe AI or your own API key
Troupe AI uses hosted models, paid with monthly credits (one credit is worth CA$0.001).
Or bring your own API key from OpenAI, Anthropic or OpenRouter: the AI replies are then billed by your provider, and the safety checks use a few credits per message. API keys only, never consumer subscriptions. Keys are stored encrypted and never shown again in full.
Import from SillyTavern and character cards
Import JSON character cards (Character Card V2 and V3), SillyTavern chats (.jsonl) and zipped Troupe bundles. Troupe is text-only: PNG cards with images are not accepted.
Safe Mode and content safety
Every story currently runs in Safe Mode, for general audiences aged 16 and over. Messages and replies are checked by content-safety classifiers before they are shown.
Sexual content involving minors is blocked everywhere, with any AI provider, including your own key. Read the Acceptable Use Policy.
A Marketplace of shared stories
Browse stories other storytellers have shared, each with its world and cast, and add them to your library. Every submission is reviewed before it is listed. Browse the Marketplace.
Text first, with original artwork
Troupe is text-only. Avatars and cover art come from a built-in library of original theatrical artwork; you never upload images.
Your data, your choice
Export your data or delete your account at any time. Troupe does not sell personal information and does not use your content to train AI models. See the Privacy Policy.
