## Description

KoboldAI-Client is a web-based interface and toolkit for interacting with large language models. It functions as a local AI text generator for storytelling and conversational AI, providing a front end for models hosted either on local hardware or within cloud-provisioned environments.

The system includes a persona manager that uses external modules and soft-prompting to guide AI responses toward specific characters and writing styles. It also provides an API wrapper that exposes a standardized, OpenAI-compatible REST API, allowing external applications to communicate with the hosted models.

The platform supports various interaction modes for writing, gaming, and chatbots, and includes sandboxed scripting to automate data processing and filter model input and output. Deployment options range from private local execution to containerized cloud GPU environments.
