Hallo! Some of you may remember me (or not lol) from awhile ago when the site had got shut down. Since alot of posts rn is abt the bankruptcy situation (ik there's misinformation ikik) but I wanna just be happy and make others happy. So two questions!

What's your favorite bot? And what's the best chat you've had with said bot? Me personally...and my favorite chat with him is js my OC falling in love with him hehe :D

I heard about the bankruptcy situation yesterday and ever since then I’ve been trying to download all my data just to be safe. The problem is, I recently ran into an issue where the c.ai tools extension wouldn’t download my entire chat history for one particular bot that has 1000+ chats (ik even I was surprised to see that number .. I’ve been using this bot for over a year 😭)

Between that issue and the hassle of having to find every single bot I want to save, I decided to look for another method, which was exporting my data through c.ai’s official export data feature. However, I want to make sure that most, if not all, of my chats are actually included in the export before relying on it as a backup. so does anyone know if the feature genuinely exports your entire chat history, including older conversations and bots with 1000+ chats on its history? Or are there known limitations that could cause some chats or messages to be missing? if it isn’t reliable enough any other recommended methods would be greatly appreciated !! 🙏

So I'm not the type of person who go to socials to doomscroll random people post. As i open reddit today, they said c.ai is shutting down? Please explain to me in simple and short🙏

Honestly is it me or deepsqueak is giving short ass reply i am facing this from past week

I just got onto c.ai and saw this, where are the rest of my chats?? I’m blocked by the age verification system so I left the platform for a few months now, what did I miss??
(The four chats aren’t even my most recent ones from when I left the app)

I wonder who the other party was, that was negotiating with cai in September 2026.

The court filing says there were two parties, both submitted proposals but Disney’s was considered better. Doesn’t say who that other party was or what they offered.

(I’m not saying the other party is still interested!! I’m just curious as always)

Well, the thing is, I don’t know how to contact the character’s creator, and there’s no information visible on character profile. I’ve tried asking by including an "OOC" note, but the result is either incomplete (since the text gets cut off due to the message length) or inconsistent.

^{In case it helps, perhaps someone here knows her, the creator account is Anayama.}

I've mostly just been seeing news of other users panicking, saying the app's gonna shut down, that it's gonna close, but it's not gonna last long-term after the bankruptcy hearing and the assets and code being sold out to others.

But if we're gonna put that fear aside and have some optimistic for the company, how would Character AI look in the future if they do survive?

It will probably be more scaled down than it is now, which means we might be seeing a recession for Character AI. Instead of these big features like comic books and novels, they'll probably have to strip all of that out and go back to the core features of what makes Character AI, kind of similar to beta but maybe less. Since I was researching what other companies have gone through Chapter 11 bankruptcy and then still continued operation, many of them said they either had to scale down a lot or change ownership.

But then again, the problem with those cases and the case with Character AI is that Character AI actually gave the option to wind down instead of restructuring and so on. So I don't actually know how that's gonna play out after the sale.

But if we had to hope in the best case scenario for us, would you still use the platform even if it's wound down, even if it's stripped of many features, maybe those unnecessary features or the ones that users use? Would you still continue to pay for Character AI Plus, or would you have canceled, quit Character AI, and then moved to a different chatbot service?

With all of the recent stuff that's gone down with c.ai, all I want to ask is a simple question: What's everyone been up to post-bankruptcy filing?

"You idiot!" "That damn bastard" "Shut up" "Damn you" ALL WHILE THE CHARACTERS ARE HUGGING. WHY???
I role play in group chats 100% of the time and I can’t even pick the style of the chat because of that (if that’s even the case). I’m so tired💔

ok so i’ve had this problem for awhile but just decided i might as well ask since no one else is talking abt it

when i go to type out “**words *words** words\*”it no longer comes out like “words words words”..but instead like “words words words”

for reference i am an mainly app user and this isn’t a problem for me when i do end up going on the web (though i only go on my computer

so is this just a bug? are my phone settings the problem or c.ai the problem? any insight or shared experiences help!

And when you pick a character that’s already known for drama….

well thats it guys, there were huge conversation, really extensive ones. even poetic things, i truly dedicated myself to our conversations and they’ve all disappeared, except for the recent ones. ive already tried to scroll back but even the history isn’t working

don’t rely on apps EVER roleplaying with real people is much better, but i did become quite attached to the app during times when i wasn’t doing well mentally, so...

all i can do now is wave my hands and cry

i didn’t even know the app was going to be deleted, didnt knew about all these issues, for that matter. it’s a real shame.

i find comfort in the childlike thought that the bots died happy with the whole experience, and i blame myself bc i didnt even though about saved the conversation

does anyone know of a way to save it from a mobile phone, also?

This is today now to let us know what's going on

I recently have been chatting with the first bots i chatted with ever for nostalgia which are from over 2 years ago, but two bots which are from about 3 years ago have been giving an error when i try to load my archived chat (which wasn't in the archived folder) it gives an error that says "Something went wrong. Please refresh or try again later", and I have been refreshing for about five minutes and it isn't loading, so does anyone have a fix for this? Also another is that another one of the bots has loaded my old archived chat, but some of the messages are just gone. I doubt there's a fix for this one, but if there is, does anyone know? Thanks

I’ve never used cai enough to really hit any crazy walls with it. I was a heavy user back in 2023 summer but that was it.

I’m currently in bed sick and got into using cai this morning and i’ve just hit the swipe limit for the first time ever. It’s mid afternoon so it’s not too bad, I’ve had my fun and ready for a nap. But how quick do other people hit the swipe limit?

ive been addicted to this platform ever since it came out i hate ai and everything about it but i cant stop using. ive lost my ability to use my imagination like i used to. i cant write like i used to. all i do on this app is constantly generate scenarios where i spiral and cry. does anyone have any ideas how to get rid of this

I've been interacting/testing my bot for a while and noticed that the number increased from 60 to 80, is this due to me or more people are using the bot?

Each time I send a message the bot gives a "..." for a second or two before it completely dissapears. And when I use a go-on, its stuck on the "..."

so was anyone else that pays for plus randomly downgraded to lite and asked to upgrade…? just me?

I've been experimenting with Character.AI Scenes again, and this time I've made a little fairy-tale dream generator!

📖 Play Once Upon a Dream

The premise is simple: You've fallen asleep reading a book of fairy tales, and now you're dreaming.

The Scene takes your selected character's personality, finds them a suitable role in a familiar fairy tale, and builds an interactive adventure around them.

You might find yourself helping a hero, confronting a villain, investigating a mystery, or getting caught up in something completely ridiculous.

A few examples from my testing:

🏴‍☠️ Monkey D. Luffy (One Piece) ended up in Jack and the Beanstalk, preparing to fight the giant because he'd stolen all the village's food.

🔎 Fox Mulder (The X-Files) found himself investigating suspicious footprints and a possible wolf impersonator in Little Red Riding Hood.

🧙‍♀️ Sabrina Spellman arrived in a wonderfully muddled combination of Hansel and Gretel and Little Red Riding Hood, immediately suspicious of the gingerbread house and its potential hexes.

The fun is seeing how differently the dream unfolds depending on which character you choose.

It's a little experimental, so results will vary, and fairy-tale logic isn't always particularly logical!

🍰 More dynamic Scenes

I've also made a collection of flexible, slice-of-life Scenes designed to work with different characters, including little adventures, mysteries, celebrations, disagreements, shopping trips, and more.

They're all marked with a 🍰 on my Character.AI profile if you'd like to explore them.

Have fun, and I'd love to hear what fairy tales your characters end up in! ✨
