Character.AI is a platform for chatting with AI-powered characters. It was founded in 2021 by former Google engineers Noam Shazeer and Daniel De Freitas, the creators of the LaMDA model. It’s available in a browser and as an app for iOS and Android.

Age: As of November 25, 2025, free-form chats are disabled for users under 18. Age is determined automatically; if the system gets it wrong, users can verify their age with an ID through the Persona service.

Features

  • Ready-made characters. Thousands of characters created by users, including historical figures, book and game characters, and language-learning assistants.

  • Group chats with multiple characters at once.
  • Voice. Listen to responses and make voice calls with a character.
  • Response styles. Choose how a character communicates; the most advanced style is available with a subscription.
  • Games. Play word games with characters, such as Speakeasy and War of Words.

FAQ

Do I need a VPN to use the service?

It depends on your region. If the service is not available in your country, its site says so; a VPN is a way around regional limits, but follow the rules of the service and the laws of your country. The easiest check is to open the service site.

Is it safe to share my data with an AI tool?

Do not enter passwords, payment details, personal data or trade secrets. Many services store requests and may use them to train models, especially on free plans. Check the privacy policy and the settings of the service, where training can often be switched off.

I study AI not as magic but as a tool. I love order in data and complex systems.
