Talk to characters who remember. Build worlds you control. Character Agent brings together AI character chat, roleplay, and hands-free conversation with editable memory and an AI agent that helps build and manage your worlds. Ask it to create characters and scenarios, revise lorebooks, update existing chats or characters, or change chat launchers—all by speaking or typing. Then bring your stories to life with pictures. YOUR CHARACTERS. YOUR MEMORY. • Characters remember your story: memories learn from your chats and recall relevant details when they matter. • Review, edit, pin, and delete memories. Import, export, and share memories as files, so you control what your characters know. • Attach memories to launchers and chats. Choose how often each memory learns and which model does the learning, including Apple Intelligence on device. • Keep chat summaries with your memories for story continuity. CREATE BY CONVERSATION • Ask your AI agent to create characters, scenarios, lorebooks, and chat launchers. • Update existing chats, characters, and launchers without navigating every setting. • Extend workflows with remote MCP tools for compatible search, documentation, automation, and more. GO HANDS-FREE • Talk naturally with characters or the agent that manages them. • Use Apple's default speech options or your own compatible speech-to-text (STT) and text-to-speech (TTS) providers. BRING YOUR CHARACTERS • Import characters from supported online card catalogs and migrate compatible chat histories. • Create, import, and export character cards (PNG and JSON, v1/v2/v3). • Build detailed worlds with multiple lorebooks, unlimited personas, and character-specific launchers. CREATE IMAGES • Make pictures for characters, personas, backgrounds, and launchers with your own image service, including options that are free to try. • Illustrate a chat in one tap or every few replies, keeping a character's look on services that support reference pictures. • Set your own style, give each launcher or chat its own image settings, and keep every picture in an Image Library that syncs across your devices. YOUR CHAT, YOUR CHOICE • Customize prompts, model settings, themes, backgrounds, and chat appearance. • Edit and organize conversations, regenerate replies, and branch a chat from any message. • Choose iCloud sync or optional local-only storage. TWO WAYS TO CONNECT • Subscribe for included LLM chat usage and agent features, subject to plan allowances and trial eligibility. • Or bring your own compatible cloud or local LLM endpoint (BYOK). Third-party provider charges may apply. • Image generation uses your own image service account. Its charges may apply. Your characters. Your memory. Your tools.

Meet a cast of characters who feel like they actually know you. Personae is an AI chat app built around real characters, not just a blank chatbot. Browse a growing collection of personas — each with their own personality, voice, and backstory — or design your own from scratch. WHAT MAKES PERSONAE DIFFERENT • Real memory, not just context Your conversations aren't forgotten the moment you close the app. As you talk, Personae quietly picks up on the details that matter — what you told them, what happened between you — and brings them back naturally in later conversations. • Build your own character Give them a name, a role, a personality, and a voice. Set the scene for your first conversation, choose their traits, and decide whether they're a mentor, a rival, a close companion, or something entirely your own. • See your conversations come to life Ask for an AI-generated image of a moment from your chat, and Personae creates one that fits the scene. • Narration and dialogue, clearly separated Actions and spoken words are shown distinctly in every reply, so it always reads like a real scene rather than a wall of text. • Browse by mood, not just by name Discover characters by role, relationship style, category, or language — featured picks, trending characters, and new arrivals are all there to explore. • Optional daily check-ins Let a character send you a quiet morning or evening message — entirely optional, off by default, and never any pressure to reply. Personae is intended for adults. Whether you want a friend to talk to after a long day, a mentor to help you think something through, or a character whose story you're building one conversation at a time — Personae is built to make that feel real. Download Personae and start talking.
