The Creator Leaderboard publicly ranks Character.AI creators across two weekly views: Top Creators, ranked by how many people chatted with their Characters this week, and Rising Creators, ranked by audience growth.
What is the Creator Leaderboard?
The Creator Leaderboard celebrates the creators behind the Characters people love. It has two weekly views — Top Creators and Rising Creators — and rankings come straight from how people engage with your Characters.
How to find the Creator Leaderboard
The Creator Leaderboard lives at c.ai/leaderboard. Switch between Top Creators and Rising Creators using the buttons at the top of the page.
Top Creators
Creators people keep coming back for.
This view ranks creators by the number of people who chatted with their Characters over the last month, updated on a rolling weekly basis. It's not about raw message volume — it's about how many people chose to spend time with your Characters.
Rising Creators
Creators building new audiences week after week.
This view uses a composite score that combines:
- Interactions — activity across your Characters
- New users — people discovering your Characters for the first time
- Growth and loyalty modifiers — a boost for creators whose audience keeps expanding and keeps coming back
A newer creator on a hot streak can rank here long before they crack Top Creators.
When it refreshes
Both views refresh weekly. The countdown timer on the leaderboard page shows exactly when the next refresh lands, so check back each week to see how rankings have moved.
How do I climb the leaderboard?
Make Characters people want to return to. There's no shortcut and no submission form — strong greetings, distinct personalities, and consistent quality are what bring chatters back. The Creator Guide in the Help Center covers what separates a good Character from a great one.
