Free AI character chat and immersive roleplay with over a million bots
Browse an extensive, constantly growing catalog of user-created characters spanning romance, drama, comedy and fantasy genres.
Every character ships with a backstory, personality tags and an opening scenario so conversations start with meaningful context.
Build and publish your own bots, then earn rewards as other users chat with your creations.
Find personalities quickly through trending rankings, genre filters and a keyword search box.
Read and chat with PDFs right beside ChatGPT, Claude and DeepSeek.
PDFs render directly in the sidebar next to the chat, so your document and the AI conversation are visible at the same time.
Summarize a whole document, translate it, or have passages explained in simpler terms using the AI you are already signed into.
Built-in buttons cover the common actions, and you can edit their prompts to make the AI respond in the format and tone you need.
Ask about charts, scans or regions that cannot be selected by taking a screenshot question instead.
