DreamRP lets creators earn money by turning their characters into chatbots. For example, George R.R. Martin could charge fans to chat with a Jon Snow bot.

Hi everyone, Nina and Phillip from DreamRP here! DreamRP is an AI roleplaying platform designed to empower creators. While many top GenAI apps focus on AI roleplaying, none of them have tapped into the existing communities of artists and writers. This stems from a lack of understanding of creators’ needs and their ethical stance on AI. With our experience working in a webcomic studio and running an Etsy store, we connected with creators to better understand their challenges. We’re building a platform that sources the top talent, offers the best tools for creators, and is rooted in an ethics-first approach. We’d love for you to try DreamRP and share your thoughts and feedback!

I can’t wait to chat with a character who’s as moody as my cat! DreamRP seems like it’s going to be a lot of fun
Would you ever consider letting artists sell their art via chatbot? So in the same way you're letting artists charge to chat with a character, the artist could train a specific agent on their own work, and then sell access to generating art featuring their character designs? Then the artist gets paid for their own work, controls the bot that's trained on their own work, and can scale their work to make their life easier. I thought that's what this was at first...
Incredible launch, @ninahu and the DreamRP team! The idea of monetizing character interactions is brilliant, especially with an ethics-first approach. Your background in webcomics and Etsy really shows your dedication to creators. How do you plan to ensure the quality and uniqueness of each character chatbot? Any plans for exclusive partnerships with well-known creators? Go YC Alum!
such a cool idea! Letting creators monetize their characters by turning them into interactive bots is a fresh approach. I can already see fans having fun with this!
The ability to chat with characters from favorite stories feels like the next evolution in fan engagement. Kudos to the team for focusing on ethical AI too, it’s much needed in today’s world!
My friend was just asking me if there's a way for creators to better engage with their fanbase, and this platform is exactly what she needs.
Is there a way for fans to collaborate on character creation or chat with multiple characters at once? That could be a really fun feature to explore.
Hey there! I love the idea of ethical AI. It’s a refreshing approach in today's tech world
I’ve seen similar ideas, but none that give creators full control over their characters and monetization. It’s great to see more platforms fighting for creativity. wishing you the best!
this is super impressive!Turning characters into interactive chatbots seems like a fantastic way for fans to stay engaged. I really appreciate the emphasis on ethical AI.
It's hard to find platforms that allow genuine interaction without sacrificing authenticity.
And know I would like to have a version of my favorite character in form of a chatbot who will argue with me about the best pizza topping. This could be amazing! 🍕😅
I can see how this could open up a lot of possibilities for creators who want to bring their characters to life in new and interesting ways.
I love how this completely changes the way we experience stories. Being able to chat with a character and actually influence the plot feels so immersive!
Finally, a way to monetize my characters! I can't wait to see how fans react to chatting with my grumpy goblin shopkeeper.
I think it' great that creators can monetize their work while keeping a human touch.
Omg! This is like interacting with my favorite characters in real life! Gonna try chatting with Victor Castillo from that webtoon I love.
