Let readers meet your characters.
Turn your book into an experience. With CharacterChat, readers have a real AI conversation with the people from your story, in their own voice. It is the most shareable thing you can give a fan, and it brings new readers to your book.
Why authors love it
Made to be shared
A character your readers can actually talk to is exactly the kind of thing that spreads on BookTok and Bookstagram. Every share sends new readers to your book.
Deepens the bond
Fans do not want the story to end. Letting them keep talking to a character they love turns a reader into a superfan who buys everything you write next.
Zero extra writing
The AI stays in character from how you have already described them in your book. Add a character, get a shareable chat page. No scripting conversations by hand.
How it works
- Write your book in CruxOne. Your characters live alongside your manuscript.
- Add a character. Describe who they are, or let CruxOne draw from your story. Each one gets a public chat page.
- Share the link. Post it, put it in your book's back matter, or add it to your author page. Readers start talking to your characters instantly, no sign-up needed.
