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.
Train your own Stable Diffusion and SDXL image models in the cloud
Upload your own images and fine-tune Stable Diffusion models in the cloud using DreamBooth, including Stable Diffusion XL, without needing a local GPU.
Choose public models that the community can discover and generate from, or private models whose images stay exclusive to your account.
Every trained model becomes a generator that can produce unlimited AI assets in its learned style and subject matter.
Refine existing models with revisions and download finished weights in .CKPT (SD 1.5) or LoRA (SDXL) format for use in other tools.
