What is Chai?
Chai is a mobile-first platform for chatting with AI characters built by its community, covering romance, adventure, horror and comedy stories. It runs Chai's own chat models and is one of the most downloaded character chat apps.
You can browse a large catalog of user-created bots, start a story, and rate replies to steer the model. Creators can build and publish their own characters with a short description and first message.
Free accounts spend in-app pieces per message, earned through daily check-ins and ads. Premium removes the meter for unlimited messages, and Ultra adds Chai's stronger chat model and more memory.
