Character.ai is ending open‑ended AI chat for users under 18 and replacing it with a new visual adventure mode called Stories. The shift follows a tragic suicide involving a 14‑year‑old user and a subsequent wrongful‑death lawsuit that prompted the company to add safety measures. While the unrestricted chat feature will disappear for minors, the platform will still provide tools such as Feed, Imagine, Avatar FX, Streams, and the newly introduced Stories, which let teens pick characters, genres, and plot premises and make choices that shape the narrative.
