Character.AI is launching a new suite of features designed to unlock your creative potential and expand how you build and experience Characters on the platform. What began as a simple 1:1 text chat is now evolving into a rich, multi-modal experience, driven by direct feedback from our users.

We’re moving into a new creative era where creators can bring characters to life in more dynamic, emotional, and visually immersive ways.

Character.AI has always been shaped by a passionate community of creators who’ve spent countless hours crafting millions of unique characters. You’ve told us you want more ways to explore and express your ideas, and these updates are designed to do just that. From animation to video to visual storytelling, you now have more tools than ever to build deeper narratives and interactive experiences.

Whether you’re just starting out or have been creating for a while, these new features are here to help you connect with your audience and showcase your characters in new, exciting ways.

What’s New?

Scenes

Scenes offer an immersive storytelling format where users can dive into interactive, pre-built storylines with any of their favorite Characters. Later this summer, creators will be able to design and publish their own Scenes, further expanding Character.AI’s creative universe. Available now on the mobile app.

AvatarFX

AvatarFX uses image-to-video technology to bring static images to life. With a click, your Character’s avatar—or any image—can sing, talk, and engage. It’s perfect for intro videos or dynamic posts to boost engagement. Available now on the web, coming soon to mobile.

Profile Redesign

A refreshed profile layout gives creators more control and customization, turning your page into a well-organized showcase for your characters and content. Available now in the mobile app.

Streams

With Streams, users can create dynamic conversations between two Characters by picking a topic and hitting play. From funny debates to touching moments, you set the scene—and they take it from there. Coming this week on web and mobile. And soon, Characters will begin generating their own Streams, adding even more life to the platform.

Imagine Animated Chats

Animate your most interesting or funny chats and share them in the Character.AI Feed or on external platforms. This is a new way to boost visibility and highlight quality characters. Available in the mobile app for c.ai+ subscribers.

Community Feed

A continuously updating feed that brings together new Characters, Scenes, Streams, and Creator content—all in one scrollable hub. It’s your front door to what’s trending and worth exploring on the platform. Coming soon in the mobile app.
