AIWatch Data: Based on AIWatch data from the last 30 days, Character.AI experienced 19 incidents with an average recovery time of 20 minutes. 30-day uptime: 99.47%.
Character.AI is a consumer AI chatbot platform where users create and interact with custom AI characters. It is one of the most-used AI consumer apps with millions of daily active users.
AIWatch Insight: Character.AI experiences capacity-driven slowdowns more frequently than enterprise APIs due to its consumer scale. Outages often correlate with viral moments or schedule patterns (school hours). AIWatch tracks platform availability without distinguishing per-character issues.
When Character.AI is down, users cannot start conversations, continue existing chats, or create new characters. The mobile and web interfaces both depend on the same backend, so an outage affects all access methods.
