An AI chat service with over 10 million characters to talk to, with a Japanese-language interface.
Platforms
Overview
Character.AI lets you talk with characters created by its users. The site says you get access to more than 10 million characters, and the interface is offered in Japanese. It is usable for free, though the free tier shows ads and limits memory and pins. The paid (c.ai) lite tier reduces ads and lets you try premium chat styles daily. The top (c.ai+) tier removes ads, gives unlimited access to top models, and provides the strongest memory and chat customization.
