None of this stuff is actually difficult. For the front-end, I’d recommend Silly Tavern, which also offers recommendations for the backend, quite a few of which can be run locally, assuming you have a decently powerful PC. And the bots themselves are basically made up of a short text describing their personality. The whole thing is about as difficult as assembling Ikea furniture, and you should encourage your kids to seek out more challenging personal projects.
