Hello Character.AI Community!

Thank you for your valuable feedback and suggestions that have been the catalyst for some awesome updates and new features we’re rolling out. As we are always working to improve the overall experience on Character.AI we’d like to shed light on Experiments and answer frequently asked questions about how we roll out new features. Please check here periodically for a list of current experimental features. 

What are Character Experiments?

Character Experiments are experimental features and innovative additions to our web and mobile app that are still in the testing phase. These features are subject to change based on user experience and feedback.

The purpose of these experimental features is to explore new possibilities and push the boundaries of what's possible with our AI Characters, while ensuring stability of our server and platform.

How are features rolled out?

Feature rollouts are conducted in phases to ensure server stability and that we establish a positive experience for all. Users that are subscribed to c.ai+ are often first to gain access to research previews and early access updates. For certain experimental features, a small group of users may be randomly selected to receive and test new features. Users that select “Preview” vs. “Stable” on the mobile app will also receive experimental features before it’s rolled out to all users. This approach helps to identify any potential issues and understand how well the feature performs.

Based on community feedback, the feature may undergo several iterations to refine its functionality. Once the feature is polished and deemed successful, it is rolled out to all users.

Why is an experimental feature no longer available on my account? 

Based on user feedback, these features may be changed or completely removed. User feedback is important to us so please continue to let us know if you have suggestions or feature requests in discord.gg/characterai!
