From my ai summary:
"Character.ai has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, citing significant legal, regulatory, and operational headwinds that have made the platform costly to sustain. The company, which faced lawsuits alleging its chatbots contributed to teen suicides and a copyright dispute with Disney, listed estimated assets and liabilities between $50 million and $100 million.
Disney has emerged as the initial "stalking horse" bidder, agreeing to pay $20 million for a nonexclusive perpetual license to some of the company's intellectual property and to provide transition services using former employees. The platform remains operational during the court-supervised sale process, which is expected to conclude by late November or early December 2026. However, the company warned that if no suitable buyer emerges to continue operations, the platform will be wound down. "
