Daria vs Archivist AI

Archivist AI is the broad one. Here is the honest comparison.

Archivist AI is the most feature-complete tool on this list, and it beats Daria outright on a couple of axes. It would be easy to write around that, so let us not.

What Archivist AI is

A TTRPG campaign memory that captures live Discord sessions, uploaded audio, or plain notes, and turns them into summaries, timelines and a campaign-aware chatbot. It works with all systems in 35+ languages, and carries analysis features — a data studio, cast analysis — that go beyond recap-and-wiki. Text-only bulk packs exist for uploading archives of raw notes, transcripts or play-by-post logs. It states that it never sells data and never trains AI models on your campaigns.

What we confirmed it does

  • Records a Discord voice channel
  • Accepts audio recorded elsewhere
  • Writes the recap for you
  • Builds a campaign wiki
  • Answers questions about past sessions
  • Generates artwork
  • Connects to a virtual tabletop
  • Reachable from Claude or ChatGPT over MCP

This is what we could verify, not a complete list of what it does — anything missing here is something we did not check, not something it lacks. Its own site is the authority.

Where Archivist AI matches or beats Daria

Where Daria differs

This is the closest comparison on the site, and the two places we would normally point at — a Foundry module and an MCP server — are places Archivist got to as well. So the honest list is shorter than it is on any other page here.

She records the room, not just a file of it. Archivist accepts audio you recorded; Daria can be the thing recording it. Open the recording page on a laptop or phone at a physical table and she captures the room, separates the voices out of that single track, and has you name each one once. For a table that plays in person, that is the difference between remembering to record and record-and-forget.

The two Foundry modules do different jobs. Archivist Sync keeps entities aligned between Foundry and the campaign — edit an NPC in one, see it in the other. Daria’s module is not a sync at all: it streams what happened — dice rolls, spell casts, item uses, condition changes — onto the transcript timeline at the moment it happened, so a recap can name the roll that decided a fight. Whispered, blind and self-rolls are filtered inside Foundry and never transmitted, and chat messages are never sent. If you want your compendium mirrored, that is Archivist’s design; if you want the dice in the story, it is Daria’s.

Both tools take the same line on training: Daria never trains models on your campaign either, everything is stored in the EU, and sessions are scoped to the Discord server they were recorded in.

Which one fits your table?

Choose Archivist AI if

You play in a language Daria does not support, or you have an archive of written notes and play-by-post logs you want brought in as text rather than audio. Those are not close calls — Archivist is the right tool for both, it is available today, and the analysis features are a genuine step past what most tools here attempt.

Choose Daria if

You play in English, French, Spanish or German, and your table sometimes meets in person — that is the one axis where the gap is wide, because Daria records the room herself rather than waiting for a file. If you also want your Foundry dice inside the narrative rather than your compendium mirrored, that is her module’s job and not Archivist’s.

Questions about Archivist AI and Daria

Will Daria support more languages?

Four today — English, French, Spanish and German — covering transcription, the summaries and Daria’s own replies. If your table plays in another one, saying so in the community server is how it gets prioritised. Until then, Archivist’s 35+ is a real advantage and we are not going to pretend otherwise.

Can I upload old audio to Daria instead of recording live?

Yes — Craig links, Zoom recordings, and plain audio files up to 2GB in MP3, M4A, WAV, FLAC, OGG or WebM. What she cannot do is take an archive of written notes as text; that is Archivist’s ground.
