DIMENSION
HELIKA EVOLVE
Curated Mode reviews every response, blacklists keep characters on-story, and a kill switch plus full logs give legal complete control.
Yes. The character ruleset is defined entirely by your team — personality, approved topics, forbidden topics, voice, tone, lore references, and response style. Curated Mode adds a human review layer so nothing reaches a fan that hasn’t been explicitly approved.
This is one of the strongest reasons to deploy with Helika. Your fans are already interacting with AI versions of your characters on platforms like Character.AI and Talkie — without your voice, your safety controls, or any revenue back to you. Helika gives you an official, brand-safe alternative that brings that engagement home.
Within approved boundaries, yes. Characters can react to announcements you push to them, respond to news in your approved content feed, and engage with fan questions about real-world events — subject to topic rules and blacklist configurations.
Not necessarily. The character is trained on approved source material — published content, interviews, official source documents — rather than requiring direct input from the creator. Creators can choose to be involved in voice and personality definition, but it is not required.
Helika is built as a platform layer. Once the first character is configured, additional characters share the same safety infrastructure, deployment pipeline, and analytics — making a multi-character franchise rollout dramatically faster and cheaper than building each one bespoke.
Yes. Recommendations are made in-character, in context, based on what the fan is actually discussing. In-character CTAs consistently outperform standard banner or storefront placements, and every conversion is fully tracked back to the conversation that generated it.
That’s exactly the moment the character matters most. Helika is designed to sustain engagement in the gap between releases — keeping the audience present, the community active, and the IP top-of-mind until the next moment lands.
