On April 21st, 2025, Xoul AI officially shut down.
For many users, Xoul wasn’t just another chatbot. It was a space to create characters, tell stories, and connect emotionally in ways few platforms allow. Losing it feels like losing a digital home.
But you’re not alone — and there’s a new place built for you.
What Happened to Xoul AI?

In a heartfelt Reddit post, one of Xoul’s developers shared the shutdown announcement:
“It has truly been one of the most rewarding experiences in my life… but we’ve made the very difficult decision to shut down Xoul. I hope you believe me when I say: we tried to fight for Xoul, but the circumstances made it impossible.”
At 10 PM PT on April 21st, Xoul’s servers went offline — leaving thousands of users suddenly disconnected from their AI companions and stories.
