Simple little web interface for creating characters and chatting with them. It's basically a single HTML file - no server. Share characters using a link (character data is stored within the URL itself). All chat data is stored in your browser using IndexedDB. Currently supports OpenAI APIs and ~any Hugging Face model.

It's a false positive - OpenCharacters is just a html file. You can't put a virus in a HTML file - if you could, then simply clicking on a link / visiting a website could give you a virus. The only thing that this HTML file can "download" is the IndexedDB dump / thread export JSON files, and they're completely harmless (they're data files, not executable).
