Character.AI enters the microdrama arena with its own productions, but there’s a twist

Character.AI has launched a series of short-form, episodic videos that allow viewers to chat with and roleplay alongside the on-screen characters.

By integrating its large language model technology directly into video narratives, the company aims to differentiate its content offerings from traditional streaming media.
