Character.AI wants a piece of the microdrama pie

Character.AI, a platform built on large language models (AI systems trained on vast amounts of text to generate human-like responses), is expanding beyond chatbots into short-form video content called c.ai Series. These animated videos are created using generative AI (technology that can produce new images, text, or video from patterns it learned) and are designed to be watched and interacted with on mobile phones, positioning the company to compete in the growing microdrama industry.
