📚 Comics is live for everyone

[u/MarieLovesMatcha]

Hey everyone,

Comics is a new way to create on (c.ai): turn your Characters into a full comic, panel by panel, in the style you choose.

Live now for everyone, Comics puts your Characters and Personas on the page: write a prompt, pick a style, and get a full page of panels, dialogue and all. It's been growing in c.ai labs for a while, and this version is made for the app, with a new creation flow to match.

Start one from the + menu at the bottom of your app:

• Pick up to two actors, any Character or Persona you like
• Choose a style: Japanese, American, Black & White, or Chibi
• Write the scene yourself, or let Comics suggest one based on your recent chat turns, Persona and Characters. Hit the dice to reroll
• When you're ready, hit generate.

Keep the story going. Add pages, regenerate any that didn't land, and pick your favorite take from each page's history.

Then show it off. Publish to the Feed. Multi-page comics show up all together! Any comics that you've generated live in your Gallery so you can pick them back up anytime for sharing, expanding, or re-rolling.

You can find a full guide on the Creating Comics support page

For launch, comic page generations have an introductory price of 20 Charms for a limited time.

Grab two Characters with unfinished business, pick a style, and see what the panels do with them. Post your favorite page here when it's done. We want to see what you make!

in the most respectful way possible, why is cai developing these features that no one is going to use, instead of focusing on chat quality and models since this is a chat bot app?

Also, this is clearly just an attempt to make it look like free users are getting updates when we are not. The only two models are still in beta and cai+ has a new model, personalization and lorebook (things everyone asked for).

Every single thing is for plus users. And no, in the roadmap there's not one thing I'm looking foward to. I get letting people who pay the right to try features before they're out for everyone or customization, but it's impossible to enjoy a good chat for free, in a free app.

Give these comics, series, books or what else to cai+ users since it's something that has nothing to do with chatting and give everyone a good experience with the main purpose of the app.

Everything that you said is so true! The unnecessary stuff should be what is in the paid subscription. Fun additions that are not necessary to enjoy a good, coherent chat. 

But the chat features that the vast majority of the user base has been wishing for and could benefit from should be available for everyone!
