Charstar

Charstar lets people create, find and chat with virtual characters boosted by open-source AI. The service has a wide variety of characters, each with its own personality, backstory and abilities. People can browse and chat with them to have more interactive and dynamic conversations.

The character catalog is pretty broad, with familiar figures like Spider-man 2099 and Overwatch's D.va, but also more original characters. They encompass different genres and styles, including high school students, supernatural characters and historical figures. Each character has a description of its appearance, personality and motivations to help people understand it better and get the most out of their chat.

The service seems aimed at people who like interactive storytelling or role-playing, but also who just want to hang out with AI characters in a more personal way. Charstar's AI technology lets characters respond in a more dynamic way, so the conversation is more natural and humanlike.

Charstar doesn't reveal pricing details, but the website encourages people to "explore and chat" with its virtual characters, so it seems to be designed to be approachable and easy to use. The project's use of open-source AI means the characters' interactions should be sophisticated and interesting. Charstar lets people explore their imagination and build a relationship with AI characters that are both plausible and entertaining.
