Importing from Character.AI

Copy a character you made on Character.AI, convert it for AiRP, and import it.

Open Import

Copy your character from Character.AI

Character.AI has no export, so you copy your character's details by hand. As the creator, you can see its full definition on its edit page.

  1. On Character.AI, open a character you created and choose Edit.
  2. Copy its name, tagline, description, and greeting into one document, with a short label above each.
  3. Open the advanced settings and copy the definition too. It holds the example chats that give the character their voice.

Convert it for AiRP

Other sites lay out characters and stories differently from AiRP, so convert your export before you import it. Use your own AI tool with our prompt, or use ours.

Your own AI tool

Copy our prompt into any AI tool and replace [STORY BRIEF] with your document. It returns JSON for you to import.

Get the prompt
Ours: Convert with AI

Paste your document into Convert with AI on the Import page. It uses the same prompt, takes up to 40,000 characters, and may cost credits.

Open Convert with AI

Import it

With your own tool, paste the JSON it returns into the box under Choose a file on the Import page. With ours, it lands there for you. Read the preview, then choose Import or Open in the editor. The story is saved as a private draft, so add a cover, an Intro, tags, and content labels before you publish.

Tips for Character.AI characters

Best practices
  • A Character.AI character is often one person with no setting, so the conversion may add a plot and setting around them. Read the Plot and change anything that doesn't fit.
  • An AiRP story can have more than one cast member and several openings. Consider adding a second hook or a location once it's imported.
  • Upload the character's picture on the cast member in the editor.
  • Only bring across characters you made. If another creator kept a definition private, it isn't yours to copy.
