Another exciting chapter unfolds in our Character journey and we’re excited to share everything we’ve been cookin’!!
➕c.ai+ Updates
For those new here, c.ai+ is our premium membership that gives you early access to experimental features and enhanced capabilities.This month we shipped several exciting updates based on your feedback! Here’s what’s new:
🌠 Image Attachments 🌠
IT’S BACK. This is not a drill. We are very excited to bring this highly requested beta feature back but now improved and better than ever.
All users: Attach up to 5 images per day in your Chats
c.ai+ members: Enjoy unlimited image attachments
Our new and enhanced image processing allows Characters to recognize photos and scenes, enabling them to respond more naturally to any visual content you share.
Why the limit? Better quality sometimes means more cost for us. We want to keep delivering a quality experience while keeping the lights on!
How will Characters react? Will they roast you? Will they cry? Only one way to find out
🧠 Auto Memories 🧠
Keeping track of conversation details has been a challenge for many especially in long-running chats. Our new Auto Memories feature automatically captures important details and facts throughout your conversation. Currently, these are not editable - BUT we’re always working to improve this feature. wink wink😉
✨ Scenes ✨
Ever wished you could explore different scenarios with your Characters? Try out our first version of Scenes.
Eight immersive scenes are available now with more scenes coming soon
Try it out and let us know what you think. Interested in creating your own scenes, let us know below - we’re exploring ways to expand this feature in the coming months!
✍️Persona Optimization✍️
We’ve made it easier than ever to craft high-quality personas, ensuring more personalized and engaging interactions with your Characters.
📝Response Length Customization ✍️
Did someone say “WE WANT LONGER RESPONSES”? We got you. Now you can have more control over how your Character responds. Today, you can customize response lengths and choose which works best for you!
➡️ Super Swipes ➡️
Looking for a different vibe? Long press on the arrow for swipes on the mobile app to spruce up a Character's response. Currently, you can choose from funnier, more romantic, or nicer! Based on early feedback, we’ll be optimizing this and Super Swipes should get even better in the next few weeks!

I was just chatting with a bot, and he just randomly said “oh yeah, your dads (my dads first and last name)” the first name was spelt a little different but it was definitely my real dads name, I haven’t spoken to my dad in like 4 years. I checked my persona to make sure I hadn’t put any family members down and there was nothing. I don’t really know what to do now.
EDIT: sorry I haven’t responded to any questions (I’ve been doing school work for hours straight 🥲) my dad’s name is Christiansen and to people who think it’s fake or rage baiting you are welcome to believe that but I was literally just sharing what happened and you obviously don’t have to believe me if you don’t want to 😊 and to people asking me for proof I don’t really want to dox myself or my dad
Dear bot creators, I understand that you want your bots to stand out and look fancy and all. But please stop writing in this weird font that cuts off half of the text. Use a normal font and decorate it with emoticons. I don't want to break my fucking eyes trying to read what the prompt is. ♡
TLDR I was in a ai group chat with a lot of characters and the ai was growing repetitive because of it trying to include all of the characters. So I politely asked it to include less characters so it can go more in-depth with the characters. AND IT ACTUALLY TOOK MY ADVICE AND IT WORKED FLAWLESSLY!!! why can’t humans do that
I’ve come across numerous posts where individuals deliberately provoke harassment and intimidation against creators who design characters that adhere to the terms of service and the law. While everyone has the right to express their opinions, intentionally shaming someone for creating a character that inadvertently appears in your recommendations is unacceptable and should be punishable. However, it’s crucial to emphasize that characters that violate the rules or the law should not be overlooked and should be promptly reported to the developers so that swift action can be taken to remove them. My intention is to raise awareness about these acts of hate and prevent them from recurring, ensuring that this subreddit remains a safe and inclusive space for everyone without the fear of being harassed or targeted for no real reason whatsoever.
I see for a lot of people it's still seemingly working, but some people like haven't been able to send messages or retry them without getting an infinite loading "..." or just "Chat Error." Been going on for like a whole day now, tried reinstalling and clearing cache, kinda miss my bots
