At Character.ai, our goal has always been to power new formats for users to interact with their favorite characters, stories, and communities.
While leading the industry in AI safety, we’ve focused on building a leading platform for entertainment and fandom—pioneering interactive features like Books, studio-made microdramas in Series, and story-transforming Comics to supercharge user creativity. Today, we are announcing the next step in our journey.
Character.ai’s CEO Karandeep Anand is joining Disney in a newly created role as Senior Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer. Karan expects to be joined by members of Character’s technical team to build on Disney’s impressive technology capabilities to help connect fans worldwide with its beloved stories and characters in new and innovative ways.
