Candy AI review 2026

Updated 17 October 2026

Candy AI is one of the most polished AI companion platforms around: chat with AI characters, generate images and video, and — the part that sets it apart — Candy Shorts, a feed of short AI series you can binge and then continue in chat.

Candy Shorts: the highlight

Candy Shorts is the feature most people come for. It is a vertical feed of AI-generated series — well over a hundred of them — each with a recurring cast and episodes of a minute or two that end on a hook. New series and new episodes land constantly; this month's releases include Our Host Is Riley Reid, The Witch Who Made Me King and YES MA'AM, a 27-episode series with Diana Demont.

The clever part is what happens after an episode: every series stars a Candy AI character, so you can open a chat and continue the story yourself.

What you get free

• The full Candy Shorts catalogue to browse, with every category filter.

• Unlimited text chat with every character.
• Image and video generation, plus the Live Action experience.
• Create your own AI characters.
• 100 tokens a month for generating images and videos.

Who it's for

• You want a series to binge — Candy Shorts alone has more than enough to keep you busy, and the long runs like Mona's Worst Enemy (15 episodes) give real stories.
• You want an ongoing chat with a character — that is where Candy AI is strongest, and Premium makes it unlimited.
• You like creating — custom characters, images and video are all included, with tokens for the heavier generation.

Verdict

Candy AI does a lot well, and Candy Shorts is the most distinctive thing on it. Start with the free episodes — two from every standard series — and if you find a series you want to finish, the 12-month plan at 3.99 a month is the cheapest way in.
