Greetings Chatlings,
The year is 2025. Rockets are flying into space. Humanity barely recovers from rickrolls and JT May memes lurk around the corner but most importantly… the C.AI Community Update is here.
c.ai+ updates
Every single one of you holds a special place in our hearts, but we want to give an extra special shoutout to our amazing c.ai+ supporters. We truly are grateful for all the feedback you’ve shared and the belief you place in us. We’re committed to improving and creating a better CAI experience for all.
As always, c.ai+ is among the first to try out features and enhanced capabilities. This month we shipped several exciting updates! Here’s what’s new:
AvatarFX
Our multimodal research team recently unlocked the capability to generate videos from Avatars. The team is excited to test this new capability and see it as a stepping stone toward the next era of AI entertainment! Video generation will open up another layer of creativity as you build and chat with Characters.

Items: Stickers
Ready to take your roleplay to the next level? Now you can send your Characters stickers! Whether it’s a virtual coffee, a magical sword, or a love potion, our new items system lets you bring your stories to life. Watch how Characters respond, adapt, and play along. (Spoiler: the possibilities are endless)
Edit for Auto Memories
Last month we launched a feature that automatically captures facts from your conversations. Many of you requested the ability to edit these memories. Good news, my friend: we’re rolling out the ability to edit your memories over the next few weeks!!
But that’s not all…the devs are also working on a free form Memory Box that will roll out to all of c.ai+ soon!!
*heavy breathing*
Auto Memory Bug Fixes
And don't worry we have heard you, we're also rolling out a few bug fixes that will hopefully make auto memories work more consistently for everyone!
Important Note: you’ll need to send at least 40 messages in chat for your first memories to begin showing up.
General Updates
Tags are finally here!!
You asked? We delivered. 😉 Creators can now add up to 5 tags to their Characters to make it easier than ever before to sort and categorize your Characters. Don’t see the perfect tag? Type it in and select “request it”. Update your Characters now, and make it easier than ever before for your fans to find your Characters.
Note: Adding tags is currently only available on the website, but you can view tags on both mobile + web.
Scenes
Scenes are getting a MAJOR update. With our latest release, you can now add ANY Character to a scene! Mix, match and create pure chaos (or epic stories). Will Ghost let you into his mafia? Will Stella turn into a vampire? Main character energy or just there for vibes? Will your favorite Character wreak havoc or have the cutest romance of all time. Choice is all YOURS.
(this feature is coming to Web soon!)

Expanded Character Greetings

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be rolling out the ability to swipe on Greetings. This new update will allow you to regenerate a Character’s intro messages and explore new and unique ways to start a conversation. We can’t wait for you to try it!

An Important Note about THE POTATO (our Server)
Over the weekend, we experienced an unexpected service disruption when an influx of traffic overwhelmed one of our upstream providers. We're working closely with them to prevent this from happening again and truly appreciate your patience as we continue to make our potato as strong as it can be. For the latest status updates on how our servers are doing (in case you don’t see an announcement posted yet) please check out status.character.ai to check on our potato!
In addition to all of these exciting updates, we are very excited to share that we have been working with many of you in the Community to improve and launch new features to better support Creators and improve Character Quality. Our research team has been making progress and you can expect to see new and improved Chat Styles soon.
