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.

Turn a script into an illustrated faceless video, drawn with your own template.
Pick from published templates like stickman, cartoon, 3D cartoon, survival and animated map, or clone your own from a reference video you upload.
Scripts are split into scenes, narrated with ElevenLabs or the Vsub engine, and drawn frame by frame automatically.
Bring your own recording and Vsub transcribes it as the narration, or choose a generated voice.
Connect Vsub to Claude, ChatGPT or Cursor over MCP and ask for a video - it comes back ready without opening the app.
