TL;DR
- Character.AI launched c.ai Series, featuring short-form, episodic videos made with generative AI.
- Viewers can interact with characters through chatbots after watching episodes.
- The initial launch includes three series: 'Last Summer', 'The Nighttime Game', and 'Eden Fall', each with 10 episodes under two minutes.
- Character.AI utilized a human-led studio team and AI in the production workflow, with plans to allow external creators to use their AI tools.
- The platform emphasizes maintaining visual and tonal consistency with proprietary AI models.
- To address safety concerns, Series will initially be available only to users over 18, with younger viewers unable to chat with bots.
- Microdramas are seen as a natural extension of Character.AI's existing platform and user engagement.
