Local character AI, in your browser

Local Character is a character.ai-style role-play chat where the AI runs on your own device. Pick one of 55 characters or create your own. Replies are written by Gemma 4 E2B, pictures drawn by DreamShaper 8, voices spoken by Kokoro and speech heard by Whisper - all inside this browser tab on WebGPU. There is nothing to install, no account, and nothing you type is sent to a server.

Private by design

Your chats never leave this device. Replies, pictures, voices and speech recognition all run in this browser. What you say into the microphone is turned into text here and then discarded. A voice clip you upload to match a voice is analysed the same way and never leaves the browser. There is no account and no server that sees what you write.

The AI helpers too: Auto-fill on the Create page and Find with AI for voices are written by the same chat model, on this device. Nothing is sent.

Community, only if you use it: sharing a character sends only its settings file (name, description, greeting, look, voice and portrait) to SkillSafe and needs a sign-in. Browsing and adding shared characters need no account. Your chats are never sent.

Backup, only if you log in: logging in is optional and only backs up your characters (their settings and portraits), your personas and your narrator voices to a private file in your own SkillSafe account. Your chats and memories are never sent.

Cloud replies, only if you turn them on: while the chat model downloads, you can let a larger model (Gemma 4 26B on Cloudflare, through SkillSafe) answer until the download finishes. Each of those replies sends that turn - the character's instructions, the chat so far and your message. It is free, and it stops when the download finishes.

Stored here: characters, chats and personas, in this browser only. Clearing site data deletes them; use Export to keep a copy.

Downloaded once: the model files themselves. Nothing is uploaded.

Characters are A.I., not real people. Adults only in pictures; no real people.
