What is Candy Shorts?

Candy Shorts is the short-form video side of Candy AI. Instead of a live chat with an AI companion, you get bite-sized episodes — short scenes, grouped into series, each built around a character and a premise. Think of it as the app’s answer to a vertical video feed, except every frame is AI-generated.

How the format works

Each series is a run of episodes, usually five. The pattern is consistent across the whole catalogue:

• The first two episodes are free and safe-for-work — they set up the character and the situation.
• The later episodes are premium and explicit. This is the part people mean when they say “uncensored.” You unlock them with tokens.
• Standard series cost 12 tokens per episode. A smaller set of official creator series cost 30.

Because the previews are free, you never have to guess. You can watch the opening of anything, decide if the style works for you, and only then spend tokens.

What you’re actually watching

Everything is synthetic. The characters, the voices, the scenes — all AI-generated. There’s no real footage anywhere in the standard catalogue. A subset of series are official creator collaborations, where Candy AI works with a named creator on their likeness and branding, but the video itself is still generated, not filmed.

Where Candy Shorts sits inside Candy AI

Candy AI started as an AI-companion chat app. Shorts is a separate way to consume that same world — passive instead of interactive. If you’ve used the chat side, the characters and art style will feel familiar. If you haven’t, Shorts is arguably the easiest way to see what the app looks like before committing to anything, precisely because of those free episodes.
