Character AI Labs Features
There are a relatively small handful of additions within Labs at the moment.
So let’s run through what’s included now.
Chat Color Customization
This feature simply lets you edit the color of the text in your chat.
You can select a color for your text, as well as the responses generated by your AI characters.
Chat Animation Speed
This feature lets you control how long it takes for the text to generate from your AI characters.
You might be interested in this feature if you want to increase the level of immersion by slowing down the text generation speed of the AI bots.
Alternatively, you can increase this option to be very fast to increase chat speeds.
Creative Mode
With Creative Mode, users are able to take more control over how AI conversations play out.
For example, you can take on the role of multiple characters.
This lets you steer conversations in a certain direction without relying on the AI bots to provide a relevant response.
Once you have established a context and base dialogue, your AI characters will then provide better outputs.
You can also direct which AI character should speak next and in which order.
Lastly, you have the ability to direct which roles the AI should play.
Note: Keep in mind, this is different from Character AI rooms where you are the only non-AI character in the conversation.
This is just a simple overview of the core rules within Creative Mode.
But with some creativity, you can shape much more rewarding and interesting chats with this feature.
How To Access Character AI Labs
If you are a Character AI Plus subscriber, simply login to your account.
Then navigate to the section titled C.AI+ on the website or mobile app.
This is where you will find all the latest features for you to experiment with.
