# Characters

Characters are the AI identities that you can create and manage to shape the AI's role in the conversation. Each character has a name, personality, and conversation history. You can create as many characters as you like, and switch between them at any time.

Characters can be used in solo chats, or add multiple characters to a group chat to let them interact with each other.
