Chat with millions of AI characters or build your own
Browse and chat with a vast library of community and official characters across genres and fandoms.
Design a character's look, backstory, personality and voice, then share it with the community.
Talk with characters using voice chats and Voice Notes, not just typed messages.
Long-form, in-character conversations built for storytelling and immersion rather than quick answers.

Build customer-facing AI agents for support, sales, and product guidance

Let agents look up orders, fetch invoices, create tickets, or trigger workflows, and reply with interactive components instead of plain text.
Publish one agent to a website chat bubble, help center, phone line, WhatsApp, email, and Slack without rebuilding it per channel.
Humans and agents work from the same conversation view, with context and history preserved when an issue escalates.
Features community-driven roleplay with flexible LLM routing and adult content support, unlike Character.AI's strict filtering.
