Overview & Main Features

1. Character Creation

Character AI does what it says. It lets you create any character you want.

You can select the anime, voice, tone, personality traits, and even how they greet people. Then, the AI learns from your input. Over time, your character gets better at mimicking your intended behavior.

After signing up, the tool automatically assigned me a username, which I didn’t find pleasing (I changed it later on):

I found the interface to be as intuitive as it could be, this led me to explore the create option. 

The tool asked for details concerning my intended character. 

I filled in a name, tagline, and description. 

I also added a greeting. 

There was a voice feature included.

2. Privacy

Character AI lets you choose to keep your characters private or share them with the world. I decided to make mine unlisted, to allow for public access only via a link. 

3. Voice Input and Output

On mobile, you can talk to the characters using your voice. I did start out with the text feature before I decided to engage the call feature. However, even in the text feature, I could listen to an audio transcription of my character’s response. 

The call feature seemed normal, just like a regular call. 

The character and I both had moments of speaking and listening. The AI did pick up on my words with accuracy except a moment when my voice wasn’t very audible. I also explored other characters created and made public by other users. 

4. Group Chats

If you want a room where Sherlock Holmes, Elon Musk, and Tony Stark all debate quantum physics, Character AI can cater to that. The Group chat feature lets multiple characters interact in one space. 

5. Memory

Characters may remember things you tell them and they try to stay consistent within a session. However, the full memory storage isn’t perfect yet. 

6. Safe For Work

Character AI has a strict moderation filter to avoid harmful or NSFW content to keep things family-friendly.

    FAQ

    1. Is Character AI Trustworthy?
    Yes, Character AI is trustworthy for general use. It does not store your private chats publicly, and user-created characters are moderated. However, like any online platform, it’s important not to share personal or sensitive information during chats.

    2. Can Character AI Talk Dirty?
    No, Character AI has strict content filters that block NSFW (Not Safe For Work) or explicit content. Even if a user tries to guide the conversation in that direction, the AI will usually avoid it or end the discussion.

    3. Do Real People Talk on Character AI?
    No, you’re not chatting with real people. All conversations happen with AI characters. The characters may feel real, but they are generated by algorithms, not humans.

    4. Is Character AI Good Yet?
    Yes, Character AI is good for fun, creative conversations, and roleplay. It’s not perfect, and sometimes responses can be off, but it’s constantly improving and great for entertainment.
