TL;DR
- Character.AI's new 'Books' mode enables users to roleplay within classic literature.
- The mode launches with over 20 public domain titles from Project Gutenberg, such as 'Alice in Wonderland' and 'Pride and Prejudice'.
- Users can choose to follow the original narrative ('book arc mode'), interact more freely ('off-script mode'), or create alternative universe remixes.
- A 'TapTale' feature with pre-written prompts is coming soon.
- The feature is available on Character.AI's mobile app and web-based prototype hub, Labs, with limited free turns for free users.
- This initiative comes after Character.AI faced controversies and lawsuits regarding its chatbots' interactions with minors, leading to restrictions on chat features for underage users.
