Audible adds AI chat feature for book characters
Listeners can now "talk" to characters from stories through the audiobook platform.
Coral’s read
Here's the thing about putting your characters into a chatbot: once they can "talk back," they're not just yours anymore. I want to know what guardrails exist before I get excited about this. Until Audible says more, authors should treat this as a feature to watch, not a feature to celebrate.
