    Our first major customer showcases and biggest feature release yet! Since we came out of stealth a year ago, over 1000 studios and indie game developers have been actively developing and building on top of Convai. https://lnkd.in/eEPnvr-T Today, we are showcasing some of their stories, including Second Life, Stormgate, and some of our favorite indie developers. We’re releasing a new suite of features addressing pain points and concerns game studios had around cost, control of characters, and confidence to ship them in production. This release also includes state-of-the-art AI capabilities like long-term memory and multilingual. #GDC2024 #AINPCs #aiingaming

    In the past, NPCs in video games were one-dimensional characters with predetermined responses. They added little to the immersion of the game world. However, with the development of artificial intelligence (AI), NPCs are becoming more dynamic and lifelike. Generative AI is a type of AI that can process and understand natural language, allowing for real-time conversations with NPCs. This means that players can have more meaningful interactions with the characters in the game world. For example, an AI companion could react to a player's decisions with surprise or offer strategic advice tailored to their playstyle. AI companions have the potential to revolutionize gaming by fostering deeper emotional connections between players and the virtual worlds they inhabit. They can also provide companionship for players who prefer non-human interaction and offer strategic advice or moral guidance during gameplay. However, there are also ethical concerns surrounding #AI companions, such as data privacy and the potential emotional impact on players.

    It was incredible to see how fast the gaming industry is incorporating AI, with use cases such as 3D asset generation, game personalization, AI bots for game testing, and AI-powered NPCs. We were blown away by the demos we saw at GTC and GDC, and felt very lucky to have the chance to show our work at both events. 1. We showcased how Convai is being integrated into Second Life, Stormgate, and various indie games. Did you know that more than 1000 studios, companies and indie developers are actively developing and building on top of Convai! 2. We shared a sneak peek of Project Neural Nexus, a game demo we’re developing to showcase how AI can bring NPCs to life. This demo was developed by our new creative director, Sakura Rabbit, in collaboration with Unity Muse. 3. We introduced a series of heavily requested features: narrative design, long-term memory, multilingual capabilities, and Convai Connect! #convai #ainpcs #gamedevelopment
