AI Chat Characters: Uncensored AI Character Chat For Adults Who Want To Talk To AI Characters

What are AI chat characters?

AI chat characters are AI personas you talk to as characters rather than as tools. Each one has a name, a personality, a way of speaking and a set of things it knows about itself, and a good one holds all of that across a long conversation. The difference from a general assistant is immediate: ask a general assistant something personal and it answers helpfully in its own neutral voice, while a character answers the way that character would.

Under the hood there is usually a character definition, which is a block of text describing who the character is, how it speaks, what it wants and what it will not do. Platforms wrap that definition around a language model and a memory system. This is why two platforms running similar models can feel completely different: the quality of the definition, the size of the memory, and the moderation layer sitting on top do more to shape the experience than the raw model does.

The category is also where most people first meet the wall. You build a rapport with a character over weeks, the scene turns tense or adult, and the character vanishes mid-sentence to deliver a paragraph about community guidelines. That break is not a bug in the model. It is a policy decision made by the platform, and it is the single most common reason people go looking for a different one.

Who can see the AI character you create?

On a public-library platform, that depends entirely on a visibility setting most people set once and never revisit. Character.AI documents three states in its own guide: Public, where "Anyone can talk with this Character, and it will appear in public listings and search results"; Unlisted, where "Only people that know the link can talk to the Character"; and Private, where "Only you can talk to the Character, even if you try to share a link to it." Chub AI describes the same three-way choice in its documentation.

There is a second, subtler setting that catches people out, and it is worth reading carefully. Character.AI separates who can chat with a character from who can see how it was built. Its documentation states that the Private Definition setting "only hides the longer Definition field," and that "All other characteristics of your Character (name, greeting, short and long description, categories, image settings, etc) will all be visible if they can chat with the Character at all." So a character that anyone can chat with is a character whose greeting and descriptions anyone can read, whatever you set the definition to.

None of this is hidden or dishonest. It is documented plainly by the platforms that do it, which is more than several of their rivals manage. The point is only that the default is publication, not privacy, and a lot of people discover that after the fact.

Can other people copy the AI character you designed?

On some platforms, yes, and by design. Character.AI documents a remixing feature, explaining that "Remixing will use one Character's attributes as a starting template for a new Character," with a setting that controls whether others may view the details or remix it. Its documentation notes that "The Viewable state will block remixing, but still allow users to view all the details." Chub AI is built around portable character cards, and a card that is published is a file other people can take.

If you have spent real time writing a character, that is worth knowing before you publish rather than after. Sharing is the reason these libraries are good: millions of characters exist because people published them. But a creation you wanted to keep is a different thing from a creation you wanted to share, and the setting that separates them is easy to miss.

The private-companion side of the category sidesteps the question. On Depravity there is no builder and no library, so there is nothing to list, nothing to search and nothing to remix. That is a real limitation if building characters is the hobby you came for, and we would rather say so than pretend a missing feature is a virtue.

Can you talk to AI characters without a content filter?

Partly, and the answer splits along platform lines rather than model lines. Character.AI prohibits sexually explicit content across the whole platform, including for verified adults, so no setting unlocks it there. General assistants like ChatGPT and Gemini refuse adult roleplay and also tend to lose a character within a few turns, because they were built to answer questions rather than hold a persona.

Several character platforms do permit adult conversation between adults, and Depravity is one of them. Uncensored here means free of corporate filters, lectures and moral commentary. It does not mean free of law. Nothing involving minors, non-consent, or anything illegal is available here at any price, on any plan, and no amount of prompting changes that. Those lines are the reason the rest of the conversation can stay open.

It is also worth separating two things that get conflated constantly: whether a platform permits adult chat, and whether it checks that you are an adult. They are different questions with different answers. Character.AI runs the strictest age assurance in the category and still bans adult content for everyone. We cover that split in detail on our page about adult AI chat.

Public character library or private companion: which should you pick?

This is the real decision, and almost every comparison in this category skips it in favour of a feature grid. Both models are legitimate. They suit different people, and picking the wrong one is why a platform that everyone recommends can feel wrong to you.

• Choose a public library if variety is the point. Millions of user-made characters, a new one every day, and a community making things you would never think of. Character.AI, Janitor AI and Chub AI are all strong here and we are not.
• Choose a public library if building characters is the hobby. If you enjoy writing definitions, tuning greetings and watching other people use your work, a platform without a builder has nothing for you.
• Choose a private companion if you want depth over breadth: a small number of well-built personas you actually know, rather than a catalogue you scroll.
• Choose a private companion if you do not want anything you write to be listed, searchable, copyable or remixable, ever, including by default and including by accident.
• Choose a private companion if consistency matters. On a user-generated platform, what a character will and will not do depends on who wrote it and how the current moderation layer is behaving that week.

How much does AI character chat cost?

Most of the large character platforms are free to start, funded by subscriptions on top. Character.AI has run a c.ai+ tier at around $9.99 a month, though its plans page returned a 404 when we last checked it directly. Janitor AI introduced janitor+ at $12.99 a month in June 2026, and a widely repeated claim of a $9.99 Janitor Pro plan appears in no primary source at all. Chub AI has been crypto-only. SillyTavern is free under AGPL-3.0, but it is an interface, so you also pay for whatever model you point it at.

Something worth knowing before you compare: we audited these pricing pages by hand and most of the companies do not publish a price you can read. Of five checked, one returned 404, one rate-limited us, and one returned HTTP 200 while rendering no dollar figure anywhere on the page. Every affiliate roundup prints confident numbers regardless. We wrote up what we actually found in our breakdown of adult AI chat pricing.

Depravity is paid only, with no free tier, and the price is on the pricing page rather than behind a signup. Open is $15 a month, or $12 a month billed yearly. Unfiltered is $29 a month, or $24 yearly. Boundless is $59 a month, or $49 yearly. All three include unlimited candid chat; the tiers differ by how many companions you can keep, memory depth, and access to voice and stronger models. If free is the binding constraint, one of the platforms above genuinely fits you better than we do.

Is AI character chat private?

It varies enormously, and the honest summary is that most of this category does not tell you. When we went to read the terms of service for the eight platforms in the table above, four of them served a page that renders nothing without JavaScript. The Internet Archive holds the same empty shell. You cannot read what you agreed to without running their application, which is a strange state of affairs for a legal document.

Where policies are readable, they differ sharply. Chai states in its own privacy notice that it uses data derived from in-app conversations to fine tune its models, and that data may be kept up to five years after account deletion. CrushOn reserves the right to use content from character chats to train its models. Dopple AI takes a license over user content described as perpetual and irrevocable, extending to displaying targeted advertisements. Several others say nothing about training at all, which is not a denial, just an absence of any commitment you could hold them to.

Ours says: encrypted, never sold, never shared, and never used to train advertising, with export and deletion available to you. It also discloses openly that automated and human review exist to enforce the hard lines, because a policy that pretends nobody ever looks would not be true. Read it before you type anything sensitive here, and apply exactly the same scepticism to us that you would to anyone else on this page.
