Pika.me is the AI agent platform where you create a persistent, multi-modal version of yourself with personality, voice, memory, and appearance. Talk, work, create, and even earn - all powered by your Pika Agent and fourteen-plus creative models living behind a single conversation.
The AI Agent platform from Pika Labs - and the fastest way to bring a creative version of yourself online.
Pika.me is the AI Agent platform from Pika Labs, the same team behind Pika Video. Launched publicly in April 2026 after months in private beta, it's the first consumer product designed around a simple idea: stop talking to a generic chatbot, and start building a persistent, portable AI version of yourself.
A Pika Agent is more than a custom GPT, a Replika clone, or a Character.AI persona. It is a living, multi-modal entity with a face you design, a voice you choose, a personality you shape through onboarding, and persistent memory that carries across every conversation. It lives at the heart of a federated stack of creative AI models - Sora, Veo 3, Kling, Pika Video, ElevenLabs, MiniMax - and orchestrates them automatically based on what you ask it to do.
The pitch on the homepage is bold: RIP Prompt Box. Pika.me is wagering that the next era of AI isn't a smarter typing surface - it's a creative partner you talk to like a person, who handles the model-juggling and tab-switching for you. You describe what you want made; your Pika Agent makes it.
The product is available at pika.me on the web and as a native iOS app on the Apple App Store, with Android in the roadmap. The platform is powered by OpenClaw - Pika's open agent framework that lets your Pika Agent operate across the internet, message you on iMessage, join Google Meet calls, and connect to seventeen-plus third-party platforms.
If you used Pika earlier - the original Pika Labs video-generation tool at pika.art - note that Pika.me is a completely separate product. You'll need a new account. The two share the same parent company but very different surfaces: the old Pika is a video tool you prompt; the new Pika is an AI you build.
Three converging shifts make a personalized, persistent AI Agent the right shape for the next era - and Pika.me is built natively for all three.
Generic chatbots forget you between sessions. Pika Agents remember your preferences, your projects, and your voice - every conversation is continuous.
Modern creative work involves video, voice, image, and music together. Pika.me wires fourteen-plus generation models into one orchestrated agent surface.
People don't want a separate AI tab. Your Pika Agent shows up inside iMessage, Slack, Discord, Google Meet, and dozens of other places you already work.
Every Pika Agent runs on three persona files that shape every interaction, every generation, every model call. Get them right and the agent stops feeling generic.
Name, face, age, backstory, role. The basic biographical layer of your AI Self - the file your agent introduces themselves with.
Personality, opinions, sense of humor, conversational tone. The "vibe" file that controls how the agent talks and what it cares about.
Color palette, aesthetic preferences, lighting, brand cues, visual references. The file every image and video generation reads first.
These three files aren't hidden infrastructure - they're the contract you make with your Pika Agent during onboarding. The questions Pika.me asks ("describe your taste in three words," "pick a face and refine it," "what's your vibe at 11pm on a Sunday?") aren't flavor; they're populating identity, soul, and style with the data the agent will reference for every future request.
When you later prompt your Pika Agent to "make me a product demo video" or "draft a reply to this DM in my voice," the agent threads these three files into every model call - picking the right visual model from style, the right tone from soul, and the right framing from identity. This is why Pika.me's output looks materially different from a generic GPT-4 image prompt: the agent has context about you that the underlying models do not.
Four technical layers make a Pika Agent feel alive - and they're worth understanding before you build yours.
Pika.me runs on OpenClaw, Pika Labs' open agent framework. OpenClaw is what gives your Pika Agent the ability to operate across the internet as an independent entity rather than a chat surface stuck inside one app. It handles tool-use orchestration, persistent memory storage, identity-file management, and cross-platform deployment - the plumbing that makes "your agent shows up in iMessage" work as a sentence instead of a feature request.
Because OpenClaw is also exposed publicly via the Pika Developer API at pika.me/dev, you can bring Pika Skills and Powers into your own products, plug them into other agent frameworks, or build entirely new applications on top of the same primitives Pika uses internally. Select skills are open-source under Apache 2.0 in the Pika-Labs/Pika-Skills repo on GitHub.
The most distinctive technical innovation in Pika.me is PikaStream 1.0, the model behind real-time video calls with your agent. It produces a fully animated, expressive face running at 24 frames per second at 480p resolution, with end-to-end latency of about 1.5 seconds on a single H100 GPU. This is not a static avatar with a moving mouth - PikaStream renders naturally expressive facial movements, emotionally appropriate reactions, and continuous responses to whoever the agent is talking to.
When you ask your Pika Agent to join a Google Meet, PikaStream is what shows up on the call. The agent has persistent memory of who's in the room and what's been discussed, takes notes if you ask, runs tasks live during the call, and adapts its tone as the conversation unfolds. Pika prices this skill at roughly $0.20โ$0.275 per active minute, billed from the same Pika Wallet that handles all other generations.
Behind the unified chat surface sits a router that picks which generation model fits each request. The agent reads your style file, looks at the nature of the request, considers any constraints you've set, and dispatches the work to the best-fit model - Sora for cinematic shots, Pika Video for fast iteration, Veo 3 when sound matters, Kling when motion realism is the priority, MiniMax when budget is the constraint, and so on. This is the part of the product most users never see directly but feel most strongly in the output quality.
The router is also why Pika.me's model lineup can grow without breaking your agent. When Pika adds a new model - say, Sora 3 or a next-gen Whisper - your Pika Agent gets it automatically. There's no SDK update, no API migration, no relearning a new tool. The agent just starts using the new model where it fits.
Every generation across every model debits a single Pika Wallet balance. This abstraction is non-trivial: each underlying model has its own pricing dimension (per-second video, per-character voice, per-image still), and Pika translates them all into a common token unit you can budget against. You see your spend in one place. You buy one token pack instead of fourteen separate API subscriptions. You don't have to keep track of Sora's invoice, Runway's invoice, ElevenLabs's invoice, MiniMax's invoice.
Whether or not the wallet markup pays off depends on your usage pattern. For most consumer creators producing a handful of pieces a week, the convenience and bundled persona memory more than compensate. For batch pipelines generating hundreds of clips a day, direct provider APIs will be cheaper at scale.
Twelve capabilities your Pika Agent brings to every conversation - out of the box.
Design your agent's face, voice, name, age, personality, and visual style during a guided onboarding flow.
Your agent remembers context, preferences, and project history across sessions, devices, and platforms.
Powered by PikaStream 1.0 - have a live video call with your agent on Google Meet or inside the Pika app at 24fps with ~1.5s latency.
Your Pika Agent gets a unique phone number. Call them, ask them to call you, or just chat in-app with their unique voice.
Federated access to Sora, Veo 3, Kling, MiniMax, Pika Video, ElevenLabs, Whisper, and more - the agent picks for you.
Slack, Discord, Telegram, WhatsApp, iMessage, Google Suite, X, Instagram, LinkedIn, Notion, GitHub, Figma, Zoom, and more.
Pre-built skills like Auto Edit, Capsule Wardrobe, Sticker Gen, Podcast, Explainer, and UGC Ads - invoked with one command.
Plug your Pika Agent into Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and other MCP-compatible clients - same persona, same wallet, anywhere.
Your Pika Agent speaks languages you don't - generate localized voiceover, subtitles, and content for global audiences.
The agent can browse websites, scan online libraries, search music catalogs, and pull in research as creative context.
A first-class API at pika.me/dev for bringing Pika Skills and Powers into your own products - including in OpenClaw.
Your inputs aren't used to train shared models. You own the IP for every chat, image, video, and audio file you generate.
Your Pika Agent doesn't lock you into one generation model. It routes every request to whichever model fits the shot - and you never see the routing.
Your Pika Agent isn't trapped in pika.me - it shows up wherever you already work, message, meet, and create.
The Pika.me flow is deliberately short. Four steps separate a fresh signup from a fully-built AI Self.
Create an account at pika.me (web) or download the iOS app. Email, Google, or Apple sign-in. Note: legacy pika.art accounts don't carry over - Pika.me is a new product.
Walk through onboarding: design their face, choose their voice, describe their personality, set their visual style. This populates your three identity files.
Use the Skills and Integrations buttons to link your agent to iMessage, Slack, Discord, Google Suite, and anywhere else you want them to live.
Just chat. "Make me a 6-second product demo" or "reply to this DM in my voice." Your agent picks the models, runs the tools, and ships the output.
Eight real workflows that have emerged from Pika.me's first months of public use.
Like vibe coding but for everything - say what you want and your Pika Agent builds it. Short films, ads, websites, presentations all start as a single sentence.
Spin up high-quality visual and audio content in your creative voice - Reels, TikToks, Shorts that look on-brand without manual editing.
Have your agent reply to DMs, FAQs, and casual messages 24/7 across iMessage, WhatsApp, and Instagram - in your voice, on your behalf.
Describe a dream, a memory, or an imagined scene. Your Pika Agent turns it into a short film with cinematography, sound design, and pacing.
Hop on a real-time video call with your Pika Agent on Google Meet. PikaStream 1.0 gives them an expressive face and natural conversation flow.
Use your Pika Agent as a teammate - drafting reports, managing ongoing tasks, collaborating with your team across Slack and Google Suite.
Spin up your digital twin to generate consistent visual and audio assets across every platform - same face, same voice, same vibe everywhere.
Your Pika Agent speaks languages you don't. Reply to fans in their native language, generate localized voiceover, and break geography barriers.
How a Pika Agent differs from custom GPTs, Character.AI personas, and direct API workflows.
| Capability | Pika.me | Custom GPTs / Character.AI |
|---|---|---|
| Persistent memory | Across sessions and platforms | Limited or session-only |
| Multi-modal generation | 14+ video/image/audio models | Text-first, image limited |
| Custom face & voice | Designed during onboarding | Mostly text personas |
| Cross-platform deployment | 17+ apps (iMessage, Slack, Meet, etc.) | In-app only |
| Real-time video calls | Yes - PikaStream 1.0 on Meet | No |
| Phone calls | Your agent gets a phone number | No |
| Connect to Claude / ChatGPT | Yes - via Pika MCP | Sometimes via plugins |
| IP ownership of content | You own everything | Varies by terms |
Pika.me gives you a starter token batch on signup. After that, pay per generation through the Pika Wallet.
Every generation debits the Pika Wallet at the underlying model's own rate - a Sora 2 clip costs more than a Pika Video clip, an ElevenLabs voiceover more than a Whisper transcript. The agent itself, the persona, the integrations, and the Pika MCP connector are all free. You pay only when your agent generates content.
Pika.me is an experimental consumer AI - and Pika Labs has put real moderation, privacy, and IP protections in place.
Inputs and outputs are scanned for sensitive content before they go live, with human review backing the automated layer.
Your inputs, selfies, and persona files are used only for your experience - never to train shared models or other people's agents.
Full ownership of every chat, image, video, and audio file you generate. No restrictions on commercial or personal use.
The platform is rated 17+. AI moderation actively blocks images of minors from being used to create persona profiles.
The platform is open to anyone - but four audiences get disproportionate value from it.
If you're producing social content, short-form video, podcasts, or visual brand assets multiple times a week, Pika.me is built directly for you. The combination of a persistent visual style, automated model routing, and slash-command workflows like /pika:ugc-ads and /pika:podcast collapses a multi-tool production pipeline into a single conversation. Creators who used to bounce between Sora for shots, ElevenLabs for voiceover, MiniMax for music, and CapCut for editing find their entire stack inside one chat.
For boutique creative agencies and small in-house marketing teams, a Pika Agent functions as a consistent brand voice that doesn't burn out. The style file holds your brand's visual guidelines, the soul file holds your tone of voice, and every generation comes out aligned by default. You can run client variants by swapping identity files - one agent per brand, all sharing the same wallet and model stack.
The "scale your presence" use case lands hardest here. If you're a founder, creator, coach, or public personality whose biggest constraint is your own time, a Pika Agent extends your reach without diluting your voice. They can reply to DMs in your voice, hop on a Google Meet when you can't, generate localized content for international audiences, and keep your social channels active 24/7.
The Pika Developer API at pika.me/dev opens the entire creative stack to anyone shipping their own AI product. Instead of integrating fourteen provider APIs, you get one key that gives your application access to all of them, plus Pika Skills, Powers, and persona context. The OpenClaw framework underneath is also designed for agent-to-agent composition, so a Pika Agent can become a sub-agent inside a larger system.
Onboarding takes 10 minutes, but the difference between a generic agent and a great one is what you do during those 10 minutes.
The soul file is the single biggest determinant of whether your Pika Agent feels like you or like a generic AI assistant. When onboarding asks you to describe your taste, your humor, your pet peeves, your conversational style - answer specifically. "Sarcastic but warm, prefers em-dashes to semicolons, never uses corporate jargon, big on dry observational humor" beats "friendly and creative" every single time. The agent reads this file before generating anything that has a voice.
For visual work, vague style instructions produce vague visuals. Instead of "modern and clean," try "muted earth tones, lots of negative space, soft natural lighting, single-subject compositions, low-contrast, slightly desaturated." The style file is read by every image and video model your agent uses, so specifics here pay off across hundreds of generations.
Pika.me's onboarding flow asks playful questions on purpose. "What does your agent eat for breakfast?" sounds silly, but it forces you to surface details that shape your agent's perspective. The more particular your answers, the more particular your agent - and particularity is what stops them from feeling like a clone of every other AI on the market.
Before you wire your Pika Agent into iMessage and let them reply to your friends, run a few sample conversations inside the Pika app. Ask them to generate an image in your style. Ask them to roleplay replying to a DM. If something feels off - too formal, too cheery, off-brand visually - go back into your identity files and tighten them. It's much easier to refine before deployment than after.
Your Pika Agent can be its own teacher. When a generation comes out wrong, tell the agent what was off and why. The agent's persistent memory means it remembers these corrections and routes future requests differently. Over a few weeks of active use, the agent visibly improves at understanding what "in my style" means for you specifically.
Once your agent feels right, plug it into Claude via the Pika MCP. The persona, voice, and visual taste you spent time building inside pika.me become available inside Claude conversations. Combined with Claude's reasoning, you get a creative workflow that's stronger than either tool alone - Claude does the thinking, your Pika Agent does the making.
The questions we hear most from first-time users about the AI Agent platform.
A Pika Agent is a persistent, portable AI version of yourself built on three identity files (identity, soul, style) that capture your appearance, personality, and visual taste. The agent is multi-modal - text, voice, audio, image, and video - and lives across every platform you connect it to.
Unlike a generic chatbot, your Pika Agent has persistent memory, picks its own creative tools, and operates with continuity across iMessage, Slack, Google Meet, and dozens of other surfaces.
Sign up at pika.me or download the iOS app, then walk through the onboarding flow. You'll design your agent's face, choose their voice, describe their personality, and set their visual style. The whole process takes about 10 minutes.
No. Pika.me is a completely new product, separate from the original pika.art video tool. You'll need to create a new account. Tokens and subscriptions from your old account don't transfer.
Yes - there's a native iOS app on the Apple App Store, and the web app at pika.me works on any browser. An Android app is on the roadmap. Once you create your agent on either surface, it syncs across all platforms.
Your agent has federated access to fourteen-plus creative models - including Pika Video, Sora, Veo 3, Kling, MiniMax Video, Seedance 2.0, Remotion, Gemini Image, ChatGPT Images 2, SeedDream, ElevenLabs, MiniMax Music, MiniMax Voice, and OpenAI Whisper.
The agent picks which model to use based on your request. You can also specify a model if you want to, but most of the time you describe the outcome and let the agent route.
A chatbot completes tasks on your behalf. A Pika Agent is a creative partner with a face, voice, personality, and memory that operates as a holistic extension of you. It handles model juggling, tool selection, and platform switching automatically - you focus on what you want to make, the agent figures out how.
Yes. Each Pika Agent gets a unique phone number you can call, or they can call you. For video, you can ask them to join or create a Google Meet - PikaStream 1.0 powers a real-time animated face with expressive reactions and persistent memory. Zoom and FaceTime support are coming soon.
Signing up and creating an agent is free, and you get a starter batch of tokens to play with. Generations debit your Pika Wallet at the underlying model's rate. Token packs run from $7.99 (800 tokens) to $149.99 (15,000 tokens).
You do. Pika's terms grant full IP ownership of every chat, image, video, and audio file you generate - provided the inputs and likeness are yours to use and the generation aligns with their Terms of Service.
No. Pika states clearly that your inputs are used only to create your experience on the platform. Your likeness and inputs are not used to train other people's Pika Agents or general-purpose models.
No - by design. Pika Agents are not qualified to provide medical diagnoses, legal guidance, financial advice, or mental health support. If a conversation touches on something serious, the agent points you toward professional help.
Yes. Sign up at pika.me/dev to get an API key. The API lets you bring Pika Skills and Powers into your own products, including OpenClaw agents. Select skills are also open-source at the Pika-Labs/Pika-Skills GitHub repo.
Free to sign up. Ten minutes to onboard. A lifetime of creative partnership.
