AIC On-The-Go lets you create personalised AI-generated jokes and cartoons featuring your friends and family — then send them directly to the people you care about.
Take photos or videos, circle faces, name people — the AI writes and delivers the joke.
Receive jokes, watch cartoons, leave feedback, and join team Battles.
You can be both — a dual-role toggle appears on the home screen if your account has both roles.
