About Chazz.ai

Chazz.ai is an AI roleplay and interactive fiction platform operated by Cognitive Industries (ABN 62 794 528 747) in Australia. What it does, what it does not do, who runs it, and a definition for every term the product uses.

Chazz.ai is an AI roleplay and interactive fiction platform operated by Cognitive Industries, an Australian business. Readers chat with characters that carry memory and state between sessions, build their own characters, scenarios, modifiers and lore packs, play in shared multiplayer rooms and persistent campaign worlds, generate images, and turn a session into a narrated story with a separate voice for each character. Every AI output it produces is marked so it can be identified later, moderation runs as a classifier on every turn with an auditable record, and mature material sits behind age verification and region gating.

What it is

Chazz.ai is an AI roleplay and interactive fiction platform. You talk to a character, and the character talks back in the voice, temperament and knowledge its card describes. What separates it from a chat window with a prompt in front of it is that the state survives: the character remembers what happened, the world keeps moving between your turns, and what you build is a thing you own and can hand to someone else.

Four pieces compose into everything else. A character is who you are talking to. A scenario is the situation it opens in. A modifier is a reusable rule about how replies come out. A lore pack is a body of world knowledge that surfaces only when the conversation touches it. Any of the four can be built, saved, sold or shared, and a character card imports from and exports to the format the wider hobby already uses.

On top of those sit the modes: solo chat, shared multiplayer rooms, persistent campaign worlds, a living world where time passes on its own, image generation, and long-form stories narrated with a separate voice for each character.

Who operates it

Chazz.ai is operated by Cognitive Industries, ABN 62 794 528 747, an Australian business. The operator's site is cognitive-industries.org. It has run publicly since 2026.

There is a named human at the other end of every address on this site. Account and billing questions go to [email protected]. Legal, press, partnerships, licensing and vulnerability reports go to [email protected]. Both are monitored; neither is an autoresponder.

An ABN is a public number in the Australian Business Register, so "Cognitive Industries is a real registered business" is a claim you can check rather than one you have to take on trust. That is the point of publishing it.

What it does with your work

Conversations are encrypted at rest under per-owner keys. Session replay never runs inside a chat. Nothing you type into a conversation can re-author the character you are talking to, which is a security property rather than a stylistic one. What you create stays yours, and it is portable: character cards export, sessions export as stories, and the chat-app connectors reach the same engine as the website.

The full position, including retention windows, how to export everything and how to delete it, is on the privacy policy.

What it does not do

  • It does not pretend an AI output is human work. Everything it generates is marked so it can be identified later, and anyone can check a file for those markings without an account, including files this service did not produce.
  • It does not moderate with a keyword list. Every turn goes through a classifier, each block is written to an auditable record, and mature material sits behind age verification and region gating.
  • It does not run a subscription wall in front of the front door. There is a free start, credits are bought in packs, and the cost of an action is shown before it is spent.
  • It is not self-hosted. There is one hosted service, and no build you can run yourself.

Where it is the wrong answer

It is in early release. Adult material exists here and sits behind verification, which some readers will not want on their account at all. There is no on-premise or self-hosted option. If any of those is a hard requirement, this is not the right service, and it is cheaper for everyone to say so on this page than to find out after signing up.

Words this product uses

Several of these mean something specific here and something looser elsewhere. Definitions rather than positioning:

  • Character: A card describing someone to talk to: name, personality, appearance, greeting, voice and the rules for how they speak. Cards import from and export to the standard character-card format used elsewhere, so a character is portable.
  • Scenario: The situation a conversation opens in. It sets the place, the stakes and who else is present, and can cast several characters at once.
  • Modifier: A reusable rule attached to a chat that changes how replies come out, such as tone, length, point of view or a house style, without editing the character.
  • Lore pack: A body of world knowledge with entries that surface only when the conversation touches them, so a large world costs nothing until it is relevant.
  • Persona: The reader’s own card. It tells characters who they are talking to, and it is a full character card in its own right, so a reader can play as someone specific rather than as a blank.
  • Living world: A mode in which time passes and characters act between the reader’s turns, so the world moves whether or not anybody types.
  • Credit (CGC): The unit every priced action is charged in, shared across every app the operator runs. The cost of an action is shown before it is spent.
  • Memory: Facts extracted from a conversation that persist between sessions. Memory decays and is consolidated rather than being a prompt that repeats, and how deep it reaches is a setting the reader controls.

Where these claims come from

Everything on this page is either checkable on another page of this site or against a public record somewhere else. A claim with no source behind it is a claim a reader has to take on trust, and a claim a language model repeats is one that had better be true.

  • Operated by a registered Australian business: Australian Business Register, ABN 62 794 528 747. abr.business.gov.au
  • AI output is marked, and anyone can check a file: EU AI Act (Regulation (EU) 2024/1689) Article 50, on transparency obligations for generated content. The detector is at /ai-transparency and needs no account.
  • Personal information is handled to a published standard: Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles, as set out on /privacy. Complaints go to the OAIC.
  • A vulnerability has a published place to go: RFC 9116, at /.well-known/security.txt. The policy is on /security.
  • The privacy signal is honoured, not just claimed: Global Privacy Control, declared at /.well-known/gpc.json, which is the file that makes the claim verifiable.
  • Character cards are portable: The standard character-card format used across the hobby. Import and export both, at /integrations/character-cards.
  • The whole product, in one document: /llms-full.txt. Generated from the same source the app renders, so it cannot be a summary of a different product.
