Facelet. Give ChatGPT
a face.

Facelet gives your ChatGPT a face: a lifelike human character that listens, thinks, and speaks with you in real time. It is built natively for Mac and Windows. The Mac app is in open beta, and the Windows app is coming soon. Facelet is free during the open beta, with no card to enter and nothing to cancel.

Yes. During the open beta the whole Mac app is free, every face included, with no card and nothing to cancel. Enter your email on the sign-up page, download Facelet from the link we send, and sign in with the same email. If that ever changes, we’ll email you first. One beta account per Mac. Windows joins the free beta when the Windows release is ready.

A supported computer and a ChatGPT account with voice conversation. There’s no API key to paste and no usage bill from us. If you prefer, cloud conversations on Mac let you use Claude or GPT through your own Anthropic or OpenAI API key instead; that usage is billed by the provider. Facelet itself is free during the open beta. The Mac app has been tested with ChatGPT Pro; other plans and Windows plan compatibility are being validated. The Windows app currently connects through an installed, signed-in Codex helper; its setup requirements are listed on the Windows page.

Isabella, Ari, Chloe, Emma, Nora, Ronan, Imani, Mira, Dorian, and Jinju. All ten are included in the first collection, and more characters will follow after launch as separate collections. The portraits on this page are photographic edits of our 3D characters. In Facelet, each character is rendered live on your computer.

On Mac, Facelet comes with Ari. Every other character is an optional download inside the app, about 0.2 to 0.7 GB each, and you can remove any of them to free up space. The free beta includes all of them. Windows uses a separate installer and a matched ZIP containing the app’s content; it does not use the Mac character downloads.

Downloaded Mac characters live in the Characters folder inside ~/Library/Application Support/Facelet, not inside the app, so dragging Facelet to the Trash leaves them behind. If you remove Facelet, first open Characters… and choose Remove All Downloads, or delete that Characters folder, to free that space.

They can. Facelet always includes at least ten characters, but the collection is a living part of the app: a character’s look, from hair and wardrobe to accessories and styling, can be refined over time, and a character can be replaced by a new one. The collection never has fewer than ten, and the terms spell it out.

No. There is no per-minute fee: Facelet is free during the open beta, whether you talk for ten minutes or ten hours. It uses the voice conversation included in your ChatGPT plan, so there is no API key to buy tokens for and no second AI subscription. The only other cost is the ChatGPT subscription you already pay for. An API key is optional: Cloud conversations on Mac use your own Anthropic or OpenAI key, billed by the provider.

No. Both native apps render the character on your computer’s graphics hardware in real time. Audio is analyzed on your computer to move the face. Your conversation connects to OpenAI through your own ChatGPT account.

Facelet starts its own voice conversation with ChatGPT through your login. It doesn’t read your chat history, import your memories, or store your ChatGPT credentials. Your plan’s usage limits still apply.

The Mac app needs Apple silicon, M1 or newer, and macOS 15 or newer, with 16 GB of memory recommended, about 3 GB of free disk space to install, and 0.2 to 0.7 GB for each extra character (keep 0.5 GB spare while one downloads). Intel Macs are not supported. Facelet adjusts its rendering detail to your Mac’s graphics chip; performance on the smallest chips is still being confirmed.

The native Windows app is coming soon. Signing and release testing are still in progress, so Windows downloads are not open yet. Windows joins the free beta when it’s ready. It targets Windows 11 24H2 or newer (build 26100+), x64, with DirectX 12 and Shader Model 6. Hardware testing so far covers an NVIDIA RTX 2080. Other GPUs, hybrid laptops and integrated-only graphics are not yet qualified; Windows 10 and ARM PCs are outside the current target. There is no final VRAM minimum yet.

Yes. Ask for a wink, a nod, or a shake of the head in the conversation, or tell it to hold still.

Facelet is free during the open beta, with no card to enter and nothing to cancel. If that ever changes, we’ll email you first. There’s no card on file, so nothing can be charged.

Facelet for Mac is available now, free during the open beta: just your email, no card. Facelet for Windows is coming soon. The Windows page shows its release status; there is no public Windows download yet.
