The Base Holding Company operates Channel AI, a consumer AI app that combines chat with multiple leading AI models, AI companions and character roleplay, and image and video generation in one product. Users can create custom AI characters and generate media inside the same app rather than moving between separate tools. The service runs as an iOS and Android app, a website, and a Discord bot. The company was founded by Lukens Orthwein, a former WeChat growth lead at Tencent, and is registered in Menlo Park, California with a San Francisco mailing address.
What sets it apart
Bundles multi-model chat, custom AI character creation, and image and video generation into a single consumer app distributed across mobile, web and Discord, positioned around open and largely unrestricted creative expression rather than a narrow assistant use case.
