About Character.AI
Character.ai pushes past chat into studio-produced original video with (c.ai) series
Character.ai is expanding the surface around its core roleplay chat on three fronts: deeper memory (Story Memory, Facts, Memory Usage), a widening creator toolkit, and a run of new content formats shipped through its c.ai labs experiments. The newest move — an in-house studio producing original vertical microdramas — is the first time the company is making content itself rather than only hosting what users create.
