We’re building an AI character chatting platform with a TikTok-style feed. StoryChat addresses three major issues found in existing AI chat services like Character AI: 1. Lack of consumable content: Most AI chat services focus on one-on-one conversations with characters, leaving new or casual users with little to engage with. As a result, they turn to platforms like YouTube or TikTok for edited creator content, which weakens network effects. 2. No creator rewards: Creators have no viable way to monetize the characters or content they produce. 3. High barriers for new users: It’s time-consuming for newcomers to learn how to interact with AI characters effectively. Our TikTok-style AI Chatting Platform offers a simple, intuitive solution. Unlike most AI chat services that focus on desktop experiences, StoryChat is optimized for mobile, providing excellent compatibility and user experience. • Content Feed: Browse chats and stories shared by other users. • Chat with AI: If you find an appealing character or story, tap “Start” to begin chatting instantly. • Monetize Content : Share your own AI conversations on the feed, bundle multiple chats into a series, and set certain chats as paid content to generate revenue.
