It turns out that Character AI has extended its calling feature to the web. Initially, this feature was mobile-only, but it was released for web access in June this year. This update allows users to have real-time voice conversations with AI characters, replicating the experience of a phone call. However, beyond this core functionality, there aren’t any additional features integrated into the calling experience. Users can now easily initiate these calls via a button on the web interface, but despite the significance of this update, it seems to have flown under the radar.
As for the future of Character AI, there remains some uncertainty, especially after its founders returned to Google. The implications of this move on the platform’s development are still unclear, leaving questions about what lies ahead for the service.
Character AI, a platform allowing users to engage with AI avatars through both text and voice, supports multiple languages and aims to create immersive, personalized AI experiences for its users.
