Character.AI is a service that allows you to create your own original characters using AI, and in March 2024, they released 'Character Voices,' which allows you to create character voices. According to Character.AI, at the time of writing, more than 1 million voices have already been generated.

Character Calls is a service that allows you to have seamless two-way voice conversations with your favorite AI characters, and is available for free from the Character.AI app.

With Charater Calls, you can talk directly to your own AI character with just the tap of a button. Each character has their own voice, pitch, accent, and personality, so you can talk to your favorite character. Unlike calls with real people, you can also end the call at any time.
