What is Candy Shorts?

The short version, in more detail

Candy Shorts is a catalog of mini-series built for phone screens. A series is a handful of brief episodes, usually five, each with a setup, a twist and a cliffhanger. Our latest tally (November 12) put the catalog at 224 series in all, of which 204 can be opened and 20 sit locked as Spicy.

Nothing in it is filmed. Faces, voices and scenes are generated, and all the characters are grown-up AI creations. Since a typical open series lasts around 5 minutes start to finish, you can sample one on a coffee break.

You will also see it called Candy AI Shorts, candyshorts or Candy AI videos. They all describe the same thing: the video corner of the candy.ai website, searched under plenty of spellings.

How does it work?

Getting started costs nothing. Press play on the first episode of any open series, no questions asked. Make a free account and the second unlocks as well. From the third episode on you pay in tokens, the site's currency, at 12 or 30 tokens per episode depending on the series.

Premium is the paid plan. Each month it hands you 100 tokens, lets you chat as much as you like, and includes 18+ pictures and clips. It is also what opens the Spicy series from their first episode, though a few Spicy episodes still charge tokens as well.

We recount the catalog every week, so each short's page on this site can tell you what it costs right now rather than what it cost last month. That matters, because Candy adds series often and prices can shift.

Who is it for?

Adults who like short, taboo-flavored drama with a hook at every episode's end. If you like a cliffhanger more than a long plot, the format fits. It's quick, it's serialized, and it asks very little of your evening.

Want it milder? The free episodes only hint and cut away. Want more? The paid episodes go further and the Spicy group is explicit. We label which is which, so nothing should catch you off guard once you click through.

We're independent, with no ties to Candy or the company behind it. Our Candy links carry a referral tag, and every opinion on these pages is ours alone. If something changes on Candy's side, we'd rather update the page than leave it wrong.
