Character.ai is a chatbot service that allows users to create and interact with human-like characters. These characters can be based on fictional media sources, celebrities, or completely original, and can be used for various purposes such as assisting with homework, learning a new language, or even writing a novel.
Users can create their own characters, craft their personalities, and set specific parameters, and then publish them to the community for others to chat with. The service also allows users to play text-adventure games where characters guide them through scenarios.
Character.ai has a large library of user-created characters and voices, and users can pair any character with any voice from the library or create their own voice in seconds. The service also offers a free version with unlimited messaging and calls, and a paid subscription plan called character.ai+ that includes features such as skipping waiting rooms and fast messaging and responses.
The company behind Character.ai, founded by Noam Shazeer and Daniel De Freitas, raised $43 million in funding at the time of its initial foundation in 2021 and has since become valued at approximately $1 billion. As of January 2024, the site had 3.5 million daily visitors, with the vast majority of them being 16 to 30 years old.
