What it does
Kirara AI is a chatbot that links popular AI language models to chat platforms. Its README lists support for Telegram, QQ, WeChat Work apps and WeChat official accounts, with Discord and Feishu being rebuilt. It works with many AI models, including OpenAI, DeepSeek, Claude, Gemini, Qwen and Mistral.
The bot can reply in group and private chats, send pictures, make AI images with tools like Stable Diffusion, Flux and Midjourney, and answer with voice. You can give it a personality using "presets", such as a cat-girl style or a normal style, and set up keyword triggers and admin commands.
A web-based control panel lets you manage models, build custom workflows (step-by-step chains of actions) and add plugins from a plugin market. It can also act as a web API, a doorway that lets other programs send it messages.
Who it's for
People who want to run their own AI chatbot in group chats or messaging apps, especially Chinese-language platforms like QQ and WeChat.
