About CastAlive
Talk with the characters from your favorite classics — and help preserve them for future generations
What Is CastAlive?
Talk with literary characters — not just about them. CastAlive lets you step into classic stories and have real conversations with the characters. Ask Elizabeth Bennet what she really thought of Darcy's first proposal. Hear Gatsby explain his obsession with the green light. Discover what Huck Finn thinks about his journey.
Each character remembers their story and responds in their own voice. It's like joining a book club where the other members are the characters themselves. They are always available to talk — and they don't always agree.
Our Gutenberg Pledge
100% of CastAlive's profits from 2025-2026 will be donated to Project Gutenberg.
That's not a typo. One hundred percent. Every penny of profit we make in our first two years goes directly to supporting the mission of preserving and sharing great literature.
Why Project Gutenberg?
Project Gutenberg has been digitizing public domain books since 1971 — before the internet as we know it even existed. They've made over 70,000 ebooks freely available to readers worldwide.
CastAlive wouldn't exist without their work. The classic texts that power our AI conversations come from their decades of painstaking digitization efforts.
We believe in paying it forward. By supporting Gutenberg, we're helping ensure that great literature remains accessible to everyone, forever.
