Given the fact that social media apps these days are full of AI-generated videos, AI-native apps seem keen to cash in on the trend. The latest to jump on that bandwagon is Character.AI, which said on Monday that it is adding a social feed to its mobile apps that allow users to create AI characters and chat with them.
The social feed, which first came to the company’s web platform in June, lets users share images, videos, and their chatbots with other users. Users can also share snippets of their chats with characters, post AI-generated images based on their chats with a character, or even have their characters debate topics on a livestream.
The feed also lets you use the company’s generative video model, AvatarFX, to create video clips with text prompts and images, and share them on the feed.
“With our new Feed, the boundary between creator and consumer is disappearing. You can come to Feed for a lean-back experience and watch content from our amazing creators – but you can also take the story forward or create a new epic adventure,” said Karandeep Singh, Character.AI’s CEO, in a statement.
Character.AI isn’t the first company of its kind to dip its toes in the social media ocean: Video-generation app Pika in July launched an invite-only app that lets users create and post videos using AI tools.
