A Character.AI alternative that lets you bring your chats
Character.AI filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in October 2026 and, if no buyer keeps it running, it shuts down. If you are looking for somewhere to go, this page says plainly what Castmanor AI is, what it does today, what it does not do, and how to bring your chats.
Free. Adults only. Everyone here is an AI character.

What Castmanor AI is
Castmanor AI is a free app for adults (18 and over) where fictional AI characters talk with you by text and by voice. Every character is an AI and is labelled as one, everywhere you see it.
Characters remember your name, your stories and your inside jokes, and you can see and edit what they remember. They can message you first. You can start with one of more than 3,000 characters made for the app, or make your own.
Bring your Character.AI chats
You can paste a chat, add screenshots of it, or use files saved with the CAI Tools browser extension. The official Character.AI export file is still being tested, so do not wait for it: Character.AI says an export takes three to four weeks.
Your character is rebuilt from your own conversation, so it keeps your story and the way it talked to you. It will not be an exact copy: replies you regenerated or never saved are not recovered.
What you get
- Free
- Castmanor AI is free.
- Voice
- Talk to a character by voice, not only by text.
- Short series
- Watch short AI-made drama series, then talk to the cast. Every episode is labelled as AI-generated.

- Where

What it does not do
- It is not Character.AI and is not connected to Character Technologies, Inc. Characters that other people made on Character.AI are not copied over: only what is in your chat comes with you.
- It is new. The catalog is smaller than a service that has run for years, and memory has limits: you can see and edit what a character remembers.
- It is for adults. If you are under 18, please do not use it.
