AI Character Generator is a feature inside Boords, a storyboarding platform built by Tom Judd and James Chambers, co-founders of the London animation studio Animade. They launched Boords in 2015, and the company remains independent and based in London.
The tool addresses a problem generic image generators struggle with: keeping a character's face, outfit, and proportions consistent from one storyboard frame to the next. Users write a character description once, generate variations, then reuse that locked-in character across an entire storyboard sequence, with output dropping directly into Boords' existing frame editor and export tools rather than a separate app.
AI Character Generator suits video agencies, ad teams, and animation studios who storyboard pitches or productions and need repeatable characters without hiring a storyboard artist for every draft. Boords' Free plan covers up to five users with 10 AI images and five storyboards; Pro starts at $50/month billed annually ($75 month-to-month) with 1,000 AI images, and Team and Agency tiers scale up to $165/month and $250/month for larger studios.
