Character.AI Introduces AI-Generated Video Creation

The platform for interacting with AI characters, Character.AI, announced the launch of a suite of multimedia features utilizing artificial intelligence. 

AvatarFX is a new tool for generating video content. Users can upload a photo as a reference, select a voice, and set text for the character. The service allows the creation of up to five videos per day.

There is also an option to provide an audio file to adjust the voice’s sound.

The tool began its gradual rollout in May and is now available to all users.

The platform blocks the creation of characters based on real people, altering them to be less recognizable. 

“Character.AI started as a one-on-one text chat, and today we are evolving and offering much more — inspired by what our users have told us and want to see on the platform,” the company stated. 

Created works can be transformed into Scenes — scripts where characters are “embedded” and continue stories created by other users. The tool is available in the mobile app.

Streams is another new feature. It enables the creation of “dynamic scenes between two characters” and will be available in the coming days on the web version and smartphones. 

Both formats can be published in the new social feed. 

Back in June 2024, Meta began adding AI characters to Instagram.
