CHATBOT PLATFORM CHARACTER.AI UNVEILS VIDEO GENERATION, SOCIAL FEEDS

Summary from the TLDR Design newsletter

Character.AI has launched multimedia features, including AvatarFX video generation, which allows users to create talking videos of AI characters with custom voices and dialogue. The platform introduced Scenes and Streams for collaborative storytelling and a social feed for sharing character-generated content. While Character.AI blocks real people's photos and watermark videos, concerns remain about potential deepfake abuse, given the company's history of safety issues. The features expand beyond the platform's original text-based chatbot format to offer more interactive character experiences.
