Character.AI is an interactive entertainment platform that allows you to write your own stories, roleplay with original Characters, and immerse yourself in new worlds. To create an account, you can sign up on the web or mobile using an email address and birthday. Users must be at least 13 years old (at least 16 years old in Europe). Once you’ve filled in your profile information, you are able to explore a universe of Characters ready to chat. You can cast yourself as the hero of an epic space adventure, have a debate with Socrates, or help NYC Cat finally catch that rat.
Millions of people visit Character.AI every month, using our technology as a tool to supercharge their creativity and imagination. Our goal is to provide a space that is both engaging and safe for our community. That’s why we’ve rolled out a suite of new safety features across nearly every aspect of our platform, designed especially with teens in mind.
Model: A “classifier” is a method of distilling a content policy into a form used to identify potential policy violations. We employ classifiers to help us enforce our content policies and filter out sensitive content from the model’s responses. The under-18 model has additional and more conservative classifiers than the model for our adult users.
User Inputs: While much of our focus is on the model's output, we also have controls to user inputs that seek to apply our content policies to conversations on Character.AI. This is critical because inappropriate user inputs are often what leads a language model to generate inappropriate outputs.
Characters: Teen users are only able to access a narrower set of searchable Characters. Filters have been applied to this set to seek to remove Characters related to sensitive or mature topics. In addition, if Characters related to those sensitive or mature topics are reported to us, we will block them from teen users. All Characters created by under-18 users are set to private by default.
We want Character.AI to be a positive and collaborative community, so we require everyone to adhere to our Terms of Service and Community Guidelines.
Automated Tools: We use proprietary tools that seek to block certain violating content before it can ever be posted.
Moderation: Our Trust & Safety team works around the clock, focused on taking appropriate action on flagged and reported content.
DMCA: We respect the intellectual property of others, and we ask our users to do the same. If you believe your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please let us know and we commit to take prompt action.
If you see something that you believe violates our policies/guidelines, please report it to us so it can be reviewed by our moderation teams as quickly as possible.
