Character.ai updated its Terms of Service on July 16, 2026 with minor refinements to product interface language. The changes include: adding clarification that keyword matching in Lorebooks is case-insensitive, enabling users to paste comma-separated lists to add multiple keywords at once, adding an interface suggestion to 'Add [keyword]' in the keyword system, adding a generic 'Ad' label to the Advertisement section, and minor formatting adjustments to UI text. These are operational and interface clarifications with no material change to user rights, data practices, or binding contractual terms.
The updated Terms of Service clarifies that Lorebook keyword matching operates on a case-insensitive basis, meaning 'magic' and 'MAGIC' will trigger the same keyword entry in character conversations. The revised terms also state that users may paste a comma-separated list to add multiple keywords at once, streamlining the keyword creation workflow. These changes simplify product interaction without altering user rights, data collection practices, or contractual obligations.
The updated terms clarify product functionality to reduce user confusion about how keywords trigger in conversations and simplify the workflow for creators building Lorebook content. These operational clarifications improve usability without imposing new restrictions or rights limitations.
