What is Character.AI?
Character.AI is a playground for conversation. You can chat with characters made by other users, from anime heroes to study buddies to fictional takes on famous people, or design your own with a personality and backstory.
It's surprisingly entertaining. Characters stay in role, remember context within a chat and can even talk back with voices. We had fun using it for creative writing prompts and silly roleplay, and some people use it to rehearse conversations.
The free version is fully usable, and c.ai+ at $9.99/mo adds perks like faster responses. Keep in mind that characters can say inaccurate or odd things, and it's easy to lose track of time. Parents should note it has age requirements and safety settings worth reviewing.
