    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

    AI NPC Workshop at Sogang University Today, I led an engaging AI NPC Workshop at Sogang University. In just two hours, participants created their own AI-powered games without writing code! We used Convai for speech recognition, lip-sync, intelligent conversations, actions, and character traits. Ready Player Me created personalized 3D avatars, and ElevenLabs provided text-to-speech and voice cloning. This toolset allowed us to create interactive, diverse AI characters. The impressive part is all 12 participants successfully built AI NPCs and integrated them into playable scenarios. Remarkably, even literal Unity newbies managed to create fully functioning AI characters! This hands-on experience showed how accessible AI game development can be. Everyone left with their own interactive game featuring self-created AI characters. It was inspiring to see the creativity and enthusiasm of all participants. I'm excited to see how they'll apply these new skills in future projects! #ai #npc #unity

    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.
