FAQs
1. Will SillyTavern work on my mobile device?
You can view the online interface of SillyTavern on another computer connected to your home wifi; but, the full software cannot be run on iOS devices.
2. Is a strong PC required to run SillyTavern?
The fact that SillyTavern is merely an interface means that it requires very little hardware to function. The stability of the AI system is dependent on its backend.
3. What else do I need besides SillyTavern?
Being merely an interface, SillyTavern serves no purpose in and of itself. A backend AI system capable of playing the roleplaying character is something you must have access to. A wide variety of backends are available: GPT, OpenAPI API, KoboldAI (local or on Google Colab), and many more.
