AI Character Chat for Roleplay & Storytelling

Cycle is an AI character chat platform for roleplay and interactive storytelling. You can explore characters made by the community, enter a story as a custom Persona, use a character or Narrator to continue the scene, and create characters and worlds of your own.

A regular chatbot is usually designed to answer questions or complete tasks. AI roleplay is built around characters, relationships and an unfolding scene. In Cycle, the character has a defined role, you can define your own Persona, and each message becomes the next turn in the story.

Yes. Create a Persona with the identity, background, relationship and guidance you want the character to understand, then select that Persona when you enter a chat.

Use Inspiration to get context-aware reply options based on the character and current scene. Choose the direction that fits the roleplay and continue from there.

Narrator adds a story layer beyond the character's direct reply. It can describe the setting, build tension and move the scene into its next beat while leaving your persona's choices to you.

Yes. You can define the character's appearance, name, age, introduction, opening scene and details. Cycle also provides AI generation tools to help develop individual fields or move from an early idea to a fuller draft.

A Lorebook holds information about the world around a character, such as locations, groups, objects and rules. It gives a creator a separate place to develop the setting rather than trying to fit every fact into the character description.

You can choose Public or Private when creating a character. Public characters can appear on a character page with their premise, tags and creator attribution, subject to Cycle's publishing and review requirements.

Add a clear OOC instruction to tell the AI what belongs to your side of the roleplay. For example: (OOC: Do not write dialogue, actions, thoughts, feelings, or decisions for my persona. Control only the character, NPCs, and the environment. Stop each reply where I can choose what happens next.) You can also reinforce these boundaries in your Persona. If a reply still takes an action for you, regenerate it instead of continuing from that response. OOC guidance can significantly reduce unwanted actions and assumptions, although results may vary by character, model, and conversation context.

Cycle is free to start. Some AI actions and replies use in-product allowances such as Energy, and limits can vary.

Cycle is currently available on the web and Android, supporting seamless cross-device synchronization under a single account. The iOS version is coming soon—stay tuned!
