Character AI is a unique chatbot that lets users chat with celebrities, historical figures, and fictional characters.
The brisk pace of research and development in AI has led to the introduction of numerous AI tools in the past few months. All of this started after AI powerhouse OpenAI unveiled its sensational chatbot ChatGPT in November last year. In fact, in less than four months ChatGPT went on to become the application with the most active users in the history of Internet. ChatGPT’s popularity prompted many technology companies to introduce their own AI chatbots.
