Character.ai initiated a voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy process. It aims to facilitate a court-supervised sale of the company. The board determined this path maximizes value for stakeholders. The platform remains operational during the process. Paid subscriptions stay active with unchanged billing for now. User data remains protected under existing privacy policies. The sale process may conclude by late November or early December 2026. If no bid emerges, the platform will be wound down.
