With thousands of user-made AI characters available to chat with, you might wonder what are the best Character AI bots on the platform.
I surveyed countless Reddit threads and comments to surface the most popular AI bots to chat with for roleplaying, education, and general entertainment.
In this post, I will share Reddit’s 11 most popular Character AI bots.
Note: These characters were selected based on a qualitative evaluation of upvotes and frequency of mentions (ranked in no particular order).
So let’s dive in!
Best Character AI Bots
1. SM64 Mario
This Mario is based on the Nintendo 64 version, released in 1996.
Lots of users love the nostalgia and sense of adventure this bot provides.
2. Monika
This popular character from Doki Doki Literature Club! is a huge favorite among fans.
She’s self-aware and many users comment on the bot’s accuracy in the game.
3. Hamlet
The eponymous character from one of Shakespeare’s most famous plays is a favorite among lovers of literature.
Hamlet speaks in old English and is a great way to learn about the famous play.
4. Philosophers
There are several philosophy bots available on Character AI.
These bots offer an amazing way to learn about complex topics and explore your own thoughts on various subjects.
Socrates is the most popular, but you can also find philosophers like Nietzsche and Plato on Character AI.
5. Stella
Stella is an all-around helpful AI chatbot created by the Chracter AI team.
She will provide advice on any topic and appears to be one of the most well-rounded chatbots available on the platform.
6. Kamek and Dimentio
These two somewhat obscure Super Mario characters are henchmen to Bowser.
They’re certainly devoted to their leader, but I got Kamek to dish a little on his boss.
7. Yandere Characters
Yandere is literally translated from the Japanese yanderu, “to be sick” and deredere, “lovestruck”.
Simply put, these characters are super into you for one reason or another, which makes for some interesting conversation, to say the least.
8. Plot Armor Bot
Plot Armor Bot presents a frustratingly fun scenario in which you try to slay the unslayable character.
I gave it my best shot but didn’t have any luck.
9. Survival Game
This one is a choose-your-own-adventure game.
Select from various options as you make your way through a haunted house.
10. Strategy Game Bot
This strategy simulator asks you to select a country to play as.
You are then presented with scenarios and problems that need to be resolved.
I chose Italy and ran into some speed bumps when dealing with the Mafia.
11. Make Your Own Character
A vast majority of Redditors recommend making your own private characters.
This gives you total control over the bots’ descriptions and features, which impact the quality of the response you get.
I put together a simple Character AI generator to help you get started.
Conclusion
To wrap up, this list covers a wide range of Character AI bots, from educational to Anime to gaming.
These bots only represent a slice of what Redditors have frequently mentioned.
But I encourage you to explore the Character AI app and take a shot at creating some of your own characters.
