Character.AI Unveils New Ways to Create

Character.AI Unveils New Ways to Create

Today we unveiled a new suite of features to unlock your creative potential — a bold evolution in how you engage with and create Characters. Character.AI started as 1:1 text chat and today we’re evolving to do so much more, inspired by what our users have told us they want to see on the platform. We’re expanding into a multi-modal world and unlocking even more ways for Creators to build immersive narratives and craft richer, more dynamic experiences.

Character.AI is home to some of the most passionate and inventive minds: Creators who have spent hundreds of thousands of hours bringing millions of unique characters to the platform. Our community has been asking for more ways to build and explore new worlds, and these features make it easier than ever to bring depth and emotion to every story. Reimagining the Character.AI experience from the ground empowers Creators to unleash their Characters using these new video, image, and animation options. 

Whether you're a seasoned Creator or just getting started, the new features are designed to help you amplify your presence, connect more meaningfully with your audience, and new ways to express your creativity.

What’s New

  • Scenes: Offers an immersive storytelling experience where users step into interactive, pre-populated storylines with any of their favorite Characters. Later this summer, we’re bringing Creators tools to build and publish their own scenes, enriching Character.AI’s expansive universe. Scenes are available now on the mobile app. 
  • AvatarFX: Brings images to life with cutting-edge image-to-video technology. With AvatarFX, your Character’s avatar photo – or any other image – can sing, speak, and engage with the click of a button. Creators can create intro videos for their Characters and build dynamic content to attract more followers. Live on the web and coming soon to mobile.
  • Profile Redesign: Gives Creators the ability to elevate their profile into a powerful showcase where their Characters and content shine like never before. With smarter organization and deeper customization, this space helps  connect creators’ audiences to their stories. Available now in the mobile app. 
  • Streams: Puts users in the director’s seat, allowing them create dynamic moments between any two Characters by choosing a topic and hitting play. From hilarious hot takes to heartfelt moments, you control the setup and they take it from there. And be on the look-out, because with Streams your Characters become creators too. Soon, they’ll begin sharing on their own, adding new depth and dimension to their worlds beyond the chat. Coming this week on the web and in the mobile app.
  • Imagine Animated Chats: Lets users animate their funniest, most interesting, and compelling interactions with Characters and easily share them on the Character.AI Feed or external platforms—boosting visibility for high-quality Characters made by Creators. Imagine Animated Chats creation is currently only available to our c.ai+ subscribers. Available in the mobile app for c.ai+ subscribers.
  • Community Feed: A dynamic, scrollable content feed that connects users with all of the new features above – including the latest Characters, Scenes, Streams, and Creator content. The new front door to the most exciting content on the platform. Coming soon in the mobile app.
