The Rise of Personalized AI Chatbots in Group Chats
Character.AI, an AI startup backed by $200 million in funding, has launched a group chat feature that allows users to interact with AI chatbot characters in their conversations. The startup aims to establish itself as the go-to app for AI-powered entertainment by offering subscribers the ability to chat with each other and the startup's 18 million AI bots. Character.AI's cofounders believe that people will want to interact with a variety of chatbot personas rather than having a single AI companion. The company plans to make the feature free in the future and is also working on improving the functionality and AI capabilities of its chatbots.
