Character.ai (stylized as Character.AI) is a neural language model chatbot web application that is able to generate human-like text responses and participate in contextual conversation. Constructed by previous developers of Google's LaMDA, Noam Shazeer and Daniel De Freitas, the beta model was fully released to the public in September 2022.[1][2]

Users are able to create "characters"—crafting their "personalities", setting specific parameters and then publishing them to the community for others to interact with. Many characters may be based off of fictional media sources or celebrities, while others are completely original, some being made with certain goals in mind such as assisting with creative writing or being a text-based adventure game.[3][2] Users may connect with a singular character, or organize group chats containing multiple characters conversing with each other and/or the user at once.

With each response a character sends, 4 separate messages are generated and can initially be swiped between and individually rated from 1 to 5 stars to provide feedback to improve the algorithm.[citation needed]

Built from advanced deep learning and expansive language models, the software is currently in beta and continually undergoing improvement; on the 5th of November, 2022, conversation memory was increased by double the previous capacity so that the AI would be able to "remember" message data from farther back.[citation needed]

Characters' "personalities" are designed via descriptions from the point of view of the character and its greeting message, and further molded from conversations made into examples and modified to fit the precise dialect and identity desired.[citation needed]
