Fount is an extensible, cross-platform framework for building and hosting AI character interactions, targeting creators and users who want to engage with AI companions. It offers a flexible, modular approach to integrating various AI sources and creating rich, immersive chat experiences.

How It Works

Fount is built on Deno for its backend, utilizing Express for API handling, and a standard HTML/CSS/JS frontend. Its core strength lies in its modular architecture, allowing users to easily create and integrate components like characters, worlds, personas, and AI sources. Custom JavaScript within AI source generators provides deep flexibility for connecting to any AI model or API, including support for API pools for intelligent request routing.
