| Fact | HammerAI | KoboldAI Lite |
|---|---|---|
| Image generation | Image generation works inside chats and as standalone images with prompt, seed and aspect-ratio controls; local image generation is planned rather than available. | The interface can request Stable Diffusion images through AI Horde and show them inside stories. |
| Integrations | The desktop app is powered by Ollama and Llama.cpp, and the FAQ says cloud AI providers can include those accessed through OpenRouter. | KoboldAI.net lists AI Horde, KoboldAI/KoboldCpp API, OpenAI-compatible providers, Google Gemini, OpenRouter, Cohere, and Claude-compatible APIs among supported providers. |
| Privacy | The privacy policy says HammerAI does not collect information about conversations, while third-party AI providers may process or retain messages sent to them. | KoboldAI.net says it communicates directly with most API providers and does not receive the API key supplied for those providers. |

Pick HammerAI if…
HammerAI may suit people interested in character conversations, roleplay, and story creation, including desktop users who want to run downloaded local models offline. Its stated age requirement makes it unsuitable for users below 18 or the local age of consent, whichever is greater.
Pick KoboldAI Lite if…
It suits writers who want story, chat, instruction, or adventure modes with a provider or local API. It may also suit users who want to run KoboldCpp offline and keep content in their browser.
