Game NPCs are so scripted it's become a meme. What if NPCs talked to you as naturally as your friends? Imagine characters with memories, emotions, and real-time, dynamic responses - that's what Convai is making a reality. Meet Purnendu Mukherjee, founder & CEO of Convai. He went from being a competitive gamer to leading research at NVIDIA. He spent the last decade imagining human-like characters and this vision is now becoming a reality. Convai's approach? Integrating text-to-speech, emotion awareness, multiple languages, and realistic avatar expressions. These characters don't just speak; they feel, understand, and interact with their environment. From interactive marketing to advanced training simulations, the possibilities are endless. The results? In less than a year since launch, over 15,000 developers are creating with Convai, bringing over a thousand active projects to life. Big brands and studios are on board, with significant revenue growth on the horizon. Follow Founders You Should Know to learn more about startups you can bet your career on.

🚀 Imagine the joy of crafting your own game within 5 to 10 minutes using a simple prompt. I recently tried it out and created a game called "Royal Reckoning," where a prince battles dark forces to rescue his princess in a medieval fantasy kingdom. It's incredible how easy and fun it is to bring your gaming ideas to life 🌟 I recently discovered Chaotix.AI, the first text-to-game AI platform. While I've seen startups focusing on creating images, videos, audios, and texts, there hasn't been one that allows you to build a game-until now. Chaotix.AI is revolutionizing gaming by enabling users to create games just by typing a text. 🎮 If you're curious to experience this innovative platform or play "Royal Reckoning" yourself, check out the game link here: https://lnkd.in/gCZiWhp4 Let's unleash our creativity and explore the endless possibilities of text-to-game AI! 🎮✨ #Chaotix #TextToGame

I'm in love with this NVDA project. This is why 👇 Project G-Assist optimizes PC performance beyond in-game help. - Analyzes PC and suggests game settings based on hardware testing. - Enables features like GPU overclocking and low latency modes. - Tracks performance metrics like frame rate and power usage. - Provides explanations for graphics settings and their impact. - Optimizes settings automatically upon request. This is another level of gaming. #AI, #NVDA #Nvidia #GAssist #Founder, #Startups, #SoftwareEngeniering #Tech For more insights about AI engineering and Startups, check out my newsletter: 🚀founderio.substack.com🚀

The tech industry would become more focused on the real world, as GPUs are currently used for various applications such as gaming, artificial intelligence, and machine learning. However, if GPUs become scarce, they will likely be used for more essential applications like fusion power plants and space rail guns, making the tech industry more focused on solving real-world problems than creating entertainment or luxury goods. In conclusion, the LK-99 issue has the potential to significantly impact tech culture by forcing startups to pivot their focus, centralizing the tech industry, and making the industry more focused on the real world.

Listening to the NVIDIA earnings call this evening and with the Intuitive Machines rover planned to touch down on the moon tomorrow… I can’t help but feel completely inspired by the shift we are currently in. So much opportunity for seismic shifts in literally every corner of every industry. We’ll look back on this time in 10, 20 years with the same nostalgia that we look back at times before the internet, now. It’s a lot of fun using and developing this technology in typically ‘non digital’ companies. Will be interesting to see which ones end up being the Blockbusters of the 2020’s unable to shift fast enough or with too much remained focus on their original business model... and what new startups will bloom into the next Nvidias. 🚀 🌔

I invest in 100 new startups a year... get a meeting with my team at launch.co/apply, or learn how to start a company by joining founder.university (our 12-week course). watch thisweekinstartups.com if you love startups
Convai is turning NPCs into main characters (at least in their own minds!) The startup is building software that enables game developers to give NPCs the power of AI. So instead of NPCs generating a finite number of scripted responses, they can act and react autonomously based on their environment and the game's rules and limitations. Multiple threads came together that led Purnendu Mukherjee to start Convai: -- he was always interested in how the human brain works -- he worked on generative AI at NVIDIA after college -- at Nvidia, he had trouble connecting text-based systems to voice and avatars -- essentially, the challenge was replicating parts of the human mind Now, he's built the solution he was looking for. Convai's software integrates with Epic Games Unreal Engine, Unity, and others. #generativeai #ai #npcs #gaming #gamedevelopment #startups #tech
