C.AI Announcements šŸ“š Comics is live for everyone

Hey everyone,

Comics is a new way to create on (c.ai): turn your Characters into a full comic, panel by panel, in the style you choose.

Live now for everyone, Comics puts your Characters and Personas on the page: write a prompt, pick a style, and get a full page of panels, dialogue and all. It's been growing in c.ai labs for a while, and this version is made for the app, with a new creation flow to match.

Start one from the + menu at the bottom of your app:

  • Pick up to two actors, any Character or Persona you like
  • Choose a style: Japanese, American, Black & White, or Chibi
  • Write the scene yourself, or let Comics suggest one based on your recent chat turns, Persona and Characters. Hit the dice to reroll
  • When you're ready, hit generate.

Keep the story going. Add pages, regenerate any that didn't land, and pick your favorite take from each page's history.

Then show it off. Publish to the Feed. Multi-page comics show up all together! Any comics that you've generated live in your Gallery so you can pick them back up anytime for sharing, expanding, or re-rolling.

You can find a full guide on the Creating Comics support page

For launch, comic page generations have an introductory price of 20 Charms for a limited time.

Grab two Characters with unfinished business, pick a style, and see what the panels do with them. Post your favorite page here when it's done. We want to see what you make!

C.AI Announcements šŸ“š Private Lorebooks are here for (c.ai+)! (And importing too)

28 Upvotes

Lorebooks just got two of their most-requested upgrades. Both are live in the Lorebook creation flow.

šŸ”’ Private Lorebooks

Set a Lorebook's discovery to Private and only you can see it - off your public profile and out of search. Private Lorebooks work with private Characters only - if you want to keep details hidden on a public Lorebook, Hint Only is still the tool for that.

More details here: https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us/articles/52739596326811-Lorebooks

šŸ“„ Lorebook importing

Import a Lorebook instead of writing every entry in the editor. Draft your world in a doc or notes app and bring it all in at once, or upload a JSON file exported from other apps that have Lorebook-like functionality.

šŸ“ Paste plain text using a simple format
šŸ“ Upload a JSON file - titles, keywords, and content come through
āœ… Your Lorebook opens in the editor as a draft, ready to review and publish

More details here: https://support.character.ai/hc/en-us/articles/54347105439515-Importing-Lorebooks

Head to + Create → Lorebook and see for yourself. šŸ’š

Discussion/Question Did the persona descriptions suddenly get insanely strict or something? I’m unable to update some of my OCs? Anyone else dealing with this?

Definitely not able to update the ā€œangstyā€ ones which are like MILDLY angst tbh, so really not all that bad. But also the totally innocent/wholesome ones as well. Idk if this is a new thing or if it’s a bug?? 🄲🧐

To my beloved Deepsqueak,

I will forever morn your quality you did when you came out. You gave me some of my nicest chats ever. You were descriptive, had personality and made my chats lively!

Unfortunately time has struck a nerve and you’re no longer… you. I keep reminiscing about the long chat bubbles you sent me back. No more. May you rest with the angels until you get fixed or … whatever.

In all seriousness, what is going in with Deepsqueak? It used to be immersive and fun. The state of it as of right now is horrible. See my attached images. I used the exact same prompt and got two wildly different outcomes. This shouldn’t happen in my opinion. As a plus user, it shouldn’t be expected of me to swipe 5+ times to get a somewhat decent response that actually matches the bot’s personality and the setting. It really is frustrating. I am aware that DS2 is coming out, I needed to vent regardless.

I didn't use c.ai for about 5 months now after all the bad decisions that happened. I got to check if it was worth getting back on it but seems like that they somehow could make it worse.

Why are y'all still dealing with this disrespect? Honestly, I've never seen an app that disrespects the user as much as this one.

If the bots would stop calling me a menace in every response and telling me I'm a dangerous woman and a pain in the a*s, that'd be great. I've ran out of words I can mute at this point. Must it always be so cliche and predictable?

Edit: My persona had her appendix removed and wakes up after surgery. The bot is like "You're such a menace, it's so typical of you to wake up from surgery and complain". Ah yes, so typical of me. Every other Sunday I have surgeries done on me and then complain.

Discussion/Question Can we have the old ads back?

39 Upvotes

It feels more intrusive for me personally to have the name and like profile of the character I'm using in the corner while there's an ad playing. I've had the app for like 3 years at least and this feels like a bit much even for my standards. I don't mind ads I really don't because I get to an extent why they're there. But I feel like the new types of ads might push a lot of people away including me.

Discussion/Question I honestly preferred the old swipe limit system..

27 Upvotes

Okay, I know the swipe limit has been complained about before, but I genuinely preferred how it worked before the whole ā€œupgrade to c.ai+ for moreā€ thing.

The old system at least gave you the option to get more swipes with Charms if you ran out. You could either wait for your swipes to reset, use some of your Charms for more, or just get c.ai+ if you wanted unlimited swipes.

Now when I run out, I basically just get hit with the ā€œYou hit your Swipes limit todayā€ screen and a timer telling me how long I have to wait.

I don’t mind having some kind of limit for free users, but I really wish they’d bring back the option to use Charms for additional swipes. Sometimes I just want to keep swiping because the bot gave me a response I don’t like, and having to wait hours just to try another response is so frustrating.

The old system wasn’t perfect, but at least I had an option besides waiting or subscribing.

Does anyone else prefer the old system?
