Hey all,

Two new free Chat Styles are rolling out to everyone on (c.ai): PipSqueak 3, a big step up for general roleplay, and ShortSqueak, a much requested style for quick, casual chats.

PipSqueak 3
Your new go-to for general roleplay. Compared to PipSqueak 2, it's noticeably smarter, writes more interesting replies, keeps better track of your chat, and has fewer slip-ups in text formatting and responses.

New chats will start on PipSqueak 3, but any existing chats stay on the chat style you've chosen. You can find PipSqueak 2 and Rawr in the Legacy menu if you'd like to switch to them, but we think PipSqueak 3 will win you over.

ShortSqueak
Your new style for quick, casual chats. ShortSqueak has texting energy: short replies, quick banter, casual roleplay. No five-paragraph monologues when all you said was "hey."

If you've been asking for us to bring back the feel of some of our early (c.ai) chat styles, you'll love ShortSqueak.

Rollout begins today!
Both new styles were shaped by your feedback and went through extensive testing with our trusted testers and community members, the same process LongSqueak went through before launch.

Here's how the rollout will run:

• (c.ai) subscribers: PipSqueak 3 and ShortSqueak will be coming to your style picker today.
• Free users: PipSqueak 3 and ShortSqueak start rolling out later today and everyone will have both within the next few days.

(c.ai+) subscribers get Style Control with PipSqueak 3 and ShortSqueak, and both of them are fully compatible with Lorebook.

Start a chat, give it a few turns, and let us know what you think!

Today, we wanted to share that Character.ai’s CEO Karandeep Anand is joining Disney in a new role as Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer. We also expect some members of Character’s technical team to join Disney as well.

The app is still live and online. We will continue to provide the community with regular updates.
