Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot platform Character.AI<\/a> has launched a social feed for mobile that lets users not only scroll through posts but also \u201cinteract, remix and build on\u201d what others have created.<\/p>\n

Rolling out on Monday (Aug. 4) on the Character.AI mobile app, the new Feed features user-generated characters, scenes, streams, short-form videos and other content with which users can interact. The feature was first teased<\/a> in June.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Karandeep Anand<\/a>, CEO of Character.AI, said people \u201ccan come to Feed for a lean-back experience and watch content from our amazing creators \u2014 but you can also take the story forward or create a new epic adventure.\u201d<\/p>\n

Users can rewrite narratives, insert themselves into storylines or move characters from one context into another, such as from scenes to streams.<\/p>\n

To support content creation, Character.AI is introducing a suite of multimodal tools:<\/p>\n

Chat Snippets, which let users share parts of a conversation to showcase a character\u2019s persona.
\nCharacter Cards, which preview characters and invite others to chat with them.
\nStreams, where characters debate topics, engage in verbal battles or create video blogs.
\nAvatar FX, which creates videos of characters or anything else. Start by inputting an image and a short script.
\nImage, which creates backgrounds based on chat content.<\/p>\n

These features are intended to give creators new ways to showcase their AI characters and to further integrate storytelling with interactive media. <\/p>\n

The company says the Feed \u201ckicks down the wall between consumption and creation\u201d and propels Character.AI into \u201cAI-powered entertainment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other companies embedding generative AI into social feeds \u2014 but not necessarily enabling remixing of posts \u2014 include Meta<\/a> and OpenAI<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meta is building<\/a> AI\u2011generated characters with bios and profile pictures that can generate and share content on social media, said Connor Hayes<\/a>, the company\u2019s vice president of product for generative AI.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, OpenAI is reportedly developing a prototype social network centered on ChatGPT<\/a>\u2019s image\u2011generation capabilities, according to an April report<\/a> from The Verge.<\/p>\n
