AI Character Generator
Whether you’re writing a screenplay, producing an ad or making a film, Shai will help you craft multidimensional and identifiable characters. Our revolutionary tool can then generate images using your characters that seamlessly fit into your storyboard.
The benefits of using the AI character creator
Creating characters is an art — but even artists need a good toolkit. Here’s how our AI character generator deals with the heavy lifting so you can focus on what really matters: telling your story.
Consistent characters
Our software takes everything into account when building your characters, including all the big and small details. You can achieve concise characters consistency and keeping all the details as consistent as possible throughout your whole storyboard and shot list.
Fast, AI character creation
Shai offers a library of characters to start you off. However, you do have the option to create your own character according to your vision. From the character’s age and hair color to their height, clothes, and facial features, your prompt can be as detailed as you like, and Shai will turn your vision into a reality. Shai will then consistently incorporate the character into your storyboard and shot list, ensuring continuity throughout. If you’re looking for a quick way to create striking images using your characters, then Shai is ideal.
Adjust as you go
Shai works for you. While it generates characters right off the bat, you’re in control. Want to tweak their backstory, change their personality, or even add some unique traits? Using your insight with further prompts, we’ll create a character as you see them.
Test new characters
By automating the most labor-intensive aspects of character creation, Shai helps you cut down on development time, freeing you up to focus on what matters most in the pre-production process.
When you use Shai, you can test your characters and adjust them to fit their features and outfits to match what you have in mind. Your characters will also be incorporated into each scene they appear in on your script’s storyboard, saving even more time.
Enhance collaboration
Filmmaking is a team effort. We make collaboration easy by offering detailed character profiles that your team can share, tweak, and refine together. Whether you’re in a writers’ room or working remotely, we’ll give you the ability to collaboratively build characters that fit into every aspect of your production.
Collaborative writers' rooms
Writers’ rooms can sometimes get bogged down in endless brainstorming, particularly when it comes to character development. Shai helps spark new ideas by generating fresh character concepts that your team can bounce off and refine. You’ll find yourselves brainstorming faster and more effectively than ever before.
