Character.AI, an AI character generation tool, has released a new feature called "Character Calls." This feature allows users to have conversations with AI characters, similar to making a phone call. The idea behind Character Calls is to enable users to practice their language skills, develop interview techniques, experience challenging dialogues in role-playing games, or create epic storylines by engaging in actual conversations with characters. To use this feature, users need to create characters within the Character.AI platform. There are various options available to meet different needs. The examples showcased in the release include a playful poet to enhance writing skills, detective Haywire for planning fictional investigations, and Émile wearing a beret to practice French. But what exactly is Character.AI? It is a web-based AI chatbot application that uses a neutral language model to generate text responses. This platform allows users to create characters based on fictional, historical, and famous personalities. While there are various AI character generation applications available, Character.AI is known for its ability to replicate human-like reactions. It also supports conversations with multiple bots simultaneously, offering extensive multiplayer possibilities. Character.AI was developed by former Google AI developers Noam Shazeer and Daniel De Freitas and was launched as a beta version in September 2022. Since its launch, it has quickly become one of the most popular AI chatbot platforms, second only to ChatGPT. The recent introduction of Character Calls is expected to attract more users, especially considering that a video showcasing the feature has garnered over 10,000 views in less than five hours.
