Character AI Group Chat Features

To explore its features, click on the ‘i’ icon at the top of your group chat screen.

Participants: In the chats, we can add two types of characters, right?

1. Humans: Here, you can see how many humans have been added to the group chat; the admin icon will be highlighted by a king crown. 

You can check each of the humans’ profiles individually by clicking the three dots beside the character.

2. AI Characters: You can check all of the AI character’s names personally by clicking on their name from here. 

You can also add and remove AI characters after creation by clicking the button just below the character’s names.

Reset Conversation: If you are not satisfied with the responses of the AI characters, you can reset them by clicking the ‘Reset AI Conversation’ button.

Delete Group Chat: If you feel that the group has been created accidentally, you can also delete the group without any hassle. 

Just click the ‘Delete group’ button, and a confirmation notice comes up. Select ‘Yes,’ and that’s it.

Enable Notifications: It is like a group notification in a WhatsApp group. 

If you only add humans, then enable it by clicking on the button; otherwise, it has no meaning.

Report and Feedback: By clicking the arrow-scrolling circle on the right of each response, you can refresh the response. 

If it still does not suit you, you can give feedback on the response by selecting the stars shown below for each conversation.

However, if you feel it is very anonymous, you can report the character to the Admin and the platform.

These are the main features of group chat on character ai that we already discover as a user.
