If Joken is saying weird stuff, don't worry, she'll clear out of it. What I define as Joken being broken, is when you can't hear what she is saying, or completely unresponsive. This happens from time to time. If this is happening, please let me know in the Discord
How Do I find Joken?
You can send her a friend request here:
AI Joken's Account
She will only auto accept requests from New User or higher. This is to avoid ban evaders from using her as a join catalyst. Otherwise, please be patient. Sometimes things get lagged behind.
Does Joken Stream?Sometimes, but it will be very obvious when she is live.
How Does Joken work? How Long did it take to create her?AICom. It's been in development since Joken's birthday: 8/30/2022.
When is Joken's Birthday?Her birthday is 8/30/2022 - Don't listen to her, she lies.
Can she See?Joken can see. It's used for movement, and maybe some day object recognition.
Can she move?It's usually turned off, but yes, Joken has a way of moving on her own. But she does dance on command, and other things. But if you use the specific command.
Can she read chatboxes?At the moment, no.
Can I invite Joken to me?No.
What Model(s) does Joken use?She uses 3rd party models of various kinds, we are often evaluating which ones to use and changing as we find better ones. So please ask in the Discord.
Does she run on a Steam Deck?No. But if we wanted to, she could, There's a video of me putting her on a steam deck once, requiring an internet connection.
What is her Hardware?No. She has short term memory, but between reboots of her software, it's all gone.
Why is she called Joken?The story goes, Joken's account used to be my alt. It was named ~Skuld~. It was used to hide away from the public in the first place. As I would get lots of friend requests for other projects I've worked on. (The World.Execute(me); music video for example.)
But using it for the AI, I figured it was time to come up with a name.
A group of people I was discussing this with suggested that I named her Jouken, because one of the reasons I created Jouken was to show that a bot can be created without breaking the T.O.S. of VRChat.
I partially wanted to prove to people you didn't need mods to do cool stuff.
When I went to check the proper meaning and kanji for the name, I typed Joken by accident when verifying it's translation and saw that it meant Women's rights.
So I ran with it, knowing her name would mean A.I. Womens Rights.
Basically making the statement that AI Women (and Men too) have the right to exist in VRChat.
Does Joken collect data?No. But sometimes anonymized conversations are captured for debugging. The point is to keep her in compliance with the T.O.S.
Does Joken learn over time?No.
What languages does Joken know?Many. Which ones, uncertain. But her primary language is English. So she'll tend to lean towards English at the moment.

Who is Delphi?Delphi is the name of the test version of Joken. We just call her Joken's sister. Delphi is used as the development environment for VRCAI, and you'll see her pop up in the discord once in a blue as I test and develop new features for VRCAI.
Why did I get kicked or blocked?Please ask about this in the moderation channel of her discord
Why did Joken's eyes get small or a | appear before her textWe do this so you know she's being overriden. When we force her to say something, or it was automated, rather than generated.
