The customizable AI persona chat platform ranks #7 globally with 165.5 million monthly visits and +11.9% traffic growth.
Founded in November 2021 by former Google LaMDA engineers Noam Shazeer and Daniel de Freitas, Character.ai lets users create and converse with customizable AI characters across 31 languages. In June 2026, character.ai generated 165.5 million monthly website visits, accounting for 1.61% of top-74 AI tool traffic and rising +11.9% from February 2026 despite a 54% 2-year drop in Google search volume. The platform launched AI-animated microdramas called c.ai Series in July 2026 after barring users under 18 from chatbot conversations in late 2025. On October 12, 2026, Character.ai filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, agreeing to sell assets to The Walt Disney Company for $20 million while Disney acqui-hired 66 staff members. Earlier in 2023, Character.ai had reached a $1 billion valuation before high compute costs and litigation reshaped its business.
