Character.AI enters the microdrama arena with its own productions, but there’s a twist
In an interesting twist that takes advantage of the company's core product, users can chat with these shows' characters, ask them questions, and even roleplay different storylines.
Get smart on it
Character.AI, a platform where people chat with customized AI avatars, is launching its own microdramas that users can interact with by asking characters questions and roleplaying different storylines. The company is starting with three shows: a romance series, a horror show, and a survival drama, all created using AI production tools. This move is significant because microdramas have become a major focus across the attention economy, with numerous companies from social media platforms to streaming services building products in this space. Character.AI plans to eventually enable users to create their own characters and series using creator tools, moving beyond its current studio-led production model.
