Built an AI character chat app where users can create and share their own characters

I’m the builder of Multiverse AI, an AI character chat app focused on user-created characters and character sharing.

The main idea was to move beyond a fixed list of bots and let users create their own personalities, publish them, and let other users interact with them. The interesting challenge was not just “make a chatbot,” but designing a system where characters feel distinct enough from each other while still staying usable in longer conversations.

A few things I learned while building it:

  • Character quality depends heavily on how well the persona definition is structured. Small changes in tone, boundaries, or style instructions can completely change how consistent a character feels.
  • Sharing characters creates a discovery problem, not just a generation problem. A lot of effort goes into making characters reusable by others, not only personal/private.
  • Conversation quality can degrade when a character becomes too vague or overloaded with traits, so simpler definitions often perform better.
  • Safety/moderation is also harder once users can create their own characters, since you need to think about both generated replies and user-defined setups.

Current limitations:

  • Characters are still better at style/personality consistency than deep long-term memory.
  • Some character setups work much better than others depending on how they are written.
  • This is still evolving, especially around discovery and consistency.

I’m sharing it here as a build/project, not as a company announcement.
