Imagine an AI video chatbot you can Watch Serve the People Onlineinteract with in real-time. Or if you could generate a custom "skin" for Siri, Gemini, or ChatGPT, anthropomorphizing these chatbots in a whole new way. This week, the internet moved one step closer to that reality.
On Monday, April 21, Character.AI revealed AvatarFX, a new AI video generation tool that will allow users to create realistic, long-form video from 2D images, the company said in a blog post. Character.AI users can apply for early access to AvatarFX now. The product is in private beta for now, with an exact launch date yet to be announced.
This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.
Character.AI has more than 10 million "AI characters" that users can chat and roleplay with in real-time. Now, with AvatarFX, users can "make images come to life — and speak, sing, and emote — all with the click of a button." Character.AI promises that users will even be able to generate long-form videos with these characters. For now, users can't interact with their creations in real-time, but it's not hard to imagine that becoming a standard feature for AI chatbots in the very near future.
Do you want your AI chatbot to be a beautiful man or woman? A sci-fi-style robot companion? A vaguely erotic centaur?

Not only do the sample videos include a controversial Studio Ghibli-style video podcast, but also a video based on Al Pacino in Scarfaceand a popular portrait of Albert Einstein.
To prevent deepfakes, the company has put several safety measures in place, including a watermark that will be applied to all videos. In the blog post announcing the new tool, the company outlined a "one-strike policy" for users who violate the terms of service, which "prohibit impersonation, bullying, deepfakes, and use of protected IP without permission."
Interested users can head to the AI chat site to join the waitlist for the AvatarFX beta.
