-=======Welcome to Z AI Character Card Wiki=======
+====== Z AI Character Card Wiki ======
-Dedicated to documenting the versatility and power of Character Card based AI personalities.
+In 2022, [[interfaces:tavernai|TavernAI]] users invented a way to package, compartmentalize, and exchange AI prompts. JSON and PNG intertwined to form the first Character Card.
-----
+Since then, information about this hobby has been scattered across the internet and locked behind closed doors. [[start|zaicc.net]] is the collection and publication of this knowledge.
-This website is currently under construction.
+===== What is a Character Card? =====
+Character Cards are images (typically PNG) which contain a scenario or personality for an AI to reference while interacting with a user (**you!**). These can be used for customizing assistants, interactive storytelling, long-form writing or even roleplay!
+These settings are contained within the image as metadata, simplifying creation, exchange, and management of these Cards (sometimes called Bots).
+===== Welcome =====
+If you're new to Character Cards, visit our [[gettingstarted|Getting Started]] page.

+Thank you for your patience; this website is still under construction.
