Character.AI wants a piece of the microdrama pie

Character. AI's plan to become more than just an LLM-powered chatbot platform is going beyond interactive books, comics, and audio dramas. Today, the company announced the debut of c. ai Series - short-form, episodic videos designed to be watched and interacted with on your phone.

Unlike traditional microdrama services that feature cheaply produced, live-action shows starring human performers, c. ai Series are animated and almost entirely made with generative AI.
