Chai is an AI platform that uses large language models (LLMs) which users interact with, originally released in 2021.[1] The principal feature of the app is to provide a platform for users to talk to AI characters. Chatbots are created by users by providing a personality and prompt of their choosing, and are subsequently published to the platform for other users to search and chat with. As of October 2022, the app had over 100,000 daily active users.[2]
