Is Character App a chatbot?

No. There is no chat with characters. You make Characters and direct them into Images, Clips, Stories and Episodes. The only conversation is with the AI Director, about what should happen in your Story.

Can I talk to my Character?

No. You direct your Character instead: write what it does, put it in a clip with Star in a clip, or let the AI Director write a Story with it in every Scene.

What can I make with Character App?

Characters in any style, Images, Clips in 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9, your Character in your own clips with Star in a clip, Stories the AI Director writes from one sentence, and a World with a recurring Cast, Seasons and Episodes.

Can I make an AI character of myself?

Yes. Start from your own photo and keep the look you like. Anyone else needs to agree first, public figures are off limits, and the app is for creators 17 and older.

Is Character App free?

Drawing is free every day with no card: one World build, one Character a day and 4 Lite Images a day. Clips, Film and Star in a clip need a plan, and every button shows its price first.

Do I own what I make?

Under the Terms you own your Outputs and can use them for personal or commercial work, subject to the Terms and the model providers' terms. Character App does not use your Outputs to train AI models.

An AI Character App for Creating, Not Chatting

By Character App Team · 2026-10-08 · 6 min read

Character App is an AI character app for creating, not chatting. You make your own characters from a photo or a few words, then put them in your own clips, a vertical drama or a whole new series. You direct, and there is no chatbot to talk to.

Made for creating, not chatting

Most AI character apps are built around a conversation. You pick a persona, you type, it types back, and the conversation is the product. Character App is built around the thing you make. You create a Character, decide what it does, and leave with Images and Clips you can post, a Story with Scenes, or a series that keeps going.

There is no chat window with your characters and no companion to talk to. The one conversation in the app is with the AI Director, about your Story: say what should happen in one sentence and it writes the Scenes, with your Characters cast in each one. You stay the director.

Make your own character.
Style them your way.
Put them in your clips.
Cast them in a drama.
Start a whole new show.

Chatbot apps and a creating app, side by side

Both kinds of app start with a character. They go in opposite directions after that.

What you do: in a chatbot app you talk with a persona. In Character App you make a Character and direct it.
What you get: a chatbot app gives you a conversation that stays in the app. Character App gives you Images and Clips you export and post, in 9:16, 1:1 or 16:9.
What the character is: in a chatbot app, a personality that replies. In Character App, a saved look from your photo or your words, reused in every Clip so your lead stays recognizable.
What a story means: in a chatbot app, a scene you play through by typing. In Character App, Scenes the AI Director writes from one sentence and films with your Cast.
Who decides: in a chatbot app the bot answers. In Character App the AI Director drafts, and you keep, change or film what it wrote.

What you can make

Everything below is live in Character App today, on the web and on iPhone.

Make your own character

Start from a photo, a few words or both, and pick a style: live-action, anime, 3D, cartoon, or a style picture of your own. Redraw until it is right, then keep it. The picture you keep is the reference every later Image and Clip starts from, so your lead stays recognizable.

Put them in your clips

Star in a clip takes a clip you already have, up to 30 seconds, vertical, square or wide. Tap the person your Character replaces and it takes the lead with the same moves and camera. Customize prompt then changes the outfit, the place, the weather or the props in plain words, several at once, as a new take with its price on the button.

Cast them in a drama

Pitch a vertical drama in one sentence and the AI Director writes the Story Scene by Scene, with your Characters in each Scene. Turn on Auto-film and it films the Scenes for you, up to a Credit cap you set. You pitch it. AI directs it.

Start a whole new series

A World keeps the recurring Cast, the Look and the Bible, the facts every Episode has to respect, so the next Episode picks up where the last one ended. Same Cast. New trouble every Episode. Coming soon: whole Episodes written and filmed for you.

From a character you talk to, to a character you direct

Plenty of people arrive with a character they already know well: a persona they invented, an alter ego, a pet with a big personality. They know how that character talks and reacts. What they want next is to see it on screen, in a Scene, with a beginning, a turn and a cliffhanger.

That is the jump from chatting to creating. You stop waiting for replies and start deciding what happens. Rebuild the character with the AI character creator, keep the look you like, then give it one moment to play: a dance clip you filmed, or a one-sentence pitch for the AI Director. What you end up with is a pilot, not a chat log.

Who it is for, and who it is not for

Character App is for people who want to make something and post it: young creators on TikTok, Reels and Shorts, people with an idea for a series, and anyone who wants their own face, their cat or an invented lead to star in Clips. It is built for creators 17 and older.

If what you want is an AI companion to talk with every day, Character App is not that, and it does not try to be. It is a studio for characters you direct.

What it costs

It is free to draw every day, with no card: the free Studio currently includes one World build, one Character a day and 4 Lite Images a day. A plan unlocks Clips, Film and Star in a clip, from $19.99/mo for 800 Credits.

Every button shows its exact price before you press. A five-second Clip on the default model is 15 Credits, and longer Clips are priced by the second. See pricing for every plan.

How to start

Your first Character takes a minute or two.

Make your Character from a photo, a few words or both, and keep the one you like.
Put it in a clip you filmed with Star in a clip, or pitch a Story to the AI Director in one sentence.
Film the Scenes you keep, or turn on Auto-film, and export the Clips in the shape you need.
Seat your Characters in a World so they come back every Episode.
