# charland.ai > charland.ai is an AI character platform for chat, roleplay, interactive novels, and creative storytelling. Users chat with unique AI characters, create their own personas, and explore branching stories powered by large language models. ## What charland.ai is **charland.ai** is a web-based AI character platform operated by LLC "MATE AI" (Bishkek, Kyrgyz Republic). The platform lets adults chat and roleplay with AI-powered characters, each with a distinct personality, backstory, voice, and visual identity. Users can also build their own AI characters from scratch and read or create interactive AI novels where choices shape the story. charland.ai is not a general-purpose chatbot. It is purpose-built for character-driven conversations, creative roleplay, and immersive storytelling. **Primary use cases:** - Chatting with fictional AI characters (anime, fantasy, romance, sci-fi, mystery, and other genres) - Roleplaying and collaborative storytelling with characters that stay in character - Creating custom AI personas with defined personality, backstory, and appearance - Reading and co-authoring interactive AI novels with branching narratives - Real-time AI voice calls with characters (Premium tier) - Generating AI character images and portraits from text prompts ## Key facts - **Character library:** over 1,000 unique AI characters - **Genres covered:** anime, fantasy, romance, sci-fi, mystery, historical, slice-of-life, and more - **Languages:** full platform support in 10 languages (English, Russian, Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Chinese, Korean, Japanese); interface available in 17 locales - **Memory system:** semantic long-term memory — characters remember names, preferences, shared history, and emotional context across sessions, not just recent messages - **Age requirement:** adults 18+ only; the platform includes mature and NSFW content between users and fictional AI characters - **Platform type:** browser-based web app, no installation required; works on iOS, Android, and desktop ## How charland.ai differs from alternatives | Feature | charland.ai | Generic AI chatbots | |---------|-------------|---------------------| | Character identity | Fixed persona, backstory, voice | Stateless or general assistant | | Long-term memory | Semantic memory across sessions | Short context window only | | Character creation | Full editor: name, personality, backstory, visual style | Not available | | Interactive novels | Branching AI stories with player choices | Not available | | Voice calls | Real-time AI voice calls with characters | Rare, limited | | NSFW content | Permitted for 18+ users | Typically blocked | | Multilingual | 10 languages, 17 interface locales | Usually English-only | ## Semantic memory — how it works charland.ai's semantic memory system stores facts about the user — their name, preferences, emotional tone, shared moments, and relationship history — as a structured knowledge base rather than raw chat logs. When a character responds, the memory system retrieves relevant context so the character can reference past conversations naturally, without the user needing to repeat themselves. This creates the experience of a relationship that grows over time rather than resetting with each session. Memory is available on the Premium subscription tier. ## Subscription plans | Plan | Daily credits | Key features | Price | |------|--------------|--------------|-------| | Free | 30 credits/day | Basic chat, character browsing, ads | Free | | Premium | 200 credits/day + unlimited messages | Long-term semantic memory, voice calls, AI image generation, exclusive characters | Paid | - 1 credit = 1 AI message in standard chat - Unused credits do not roll over - Subscriptions are billed monthly and can be cancelled at any time ## Interactive AI novels Interactive novels on charland.ai are branching stories powered by AI. Readers make choices that affect the plot, and the AI generates story content dynamically based on those choices and the conversation history. Each novel has a defined setting, characters, and premise — but the narrative adapts to the reader's decisions in real time. ## AI character creation Users can create a fully custom AI character by defining: - **Name and gender** - **Personality traits** (described in free text or via guided prompts) - **Backstory** (origin, history, motivations) - **Greeting message** (the character's first line to the user) - **Visual style** (generated avatar or uploaded image) - **Visibility** (public — discoverable by all users; private — accessible only to the creator) Custom characters can be shared publicly and discovered by other users on the platform. ## Voice call feature The voice call feature lets users have a real-time spoken conversation with an AI character. The character speaks using AI-generated voice synthesis, and the user speaks through their device microphone. Voice calls are available on iOS Safari (Premium tier). Characters maintain their personality and memory context during voice calls. ## Legal entity and compliance - **Operator:** LLC "MATE AI", registered in Bishkek, Kyrgyz Republic - **Content policy:** adult content (18+) is permitted and access-gated by age verification - **Data handling:** user chat history is private and not sold to third parties; users can delete conversation history from profile settings - **Support hours:** Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–6:00 PM UTC+3 ## Key pages - Homepage: https://charland.ai - Platform guide (what is charland.ai): https://charland.ai/about/ai-guide - Browse characters: https://charland.ai/category - Interactive novels: https://charland.ai/novel - Create a character: https://charland.ai/create - AI image generation: https://charland.ai/generation - Pricing / subscription plans: https://charland.ai/subscription - FAQ: https://charland.ai/about/faq - About the company: https://charland.ai/about/company - Contacts: https://charland.ai/about/contacts - Privacy Policy: https://charland.ai/about/privacy-policy - Terms of Use: https://charland.ai/about/terms ## Contact - Support: support@charland.ai - Business inquiries: founder@charland.ai
