We are ecstatic about the partnership and collaboration on this AI NPC demo with NVIDIA. "AI [NPCs] will be a big part of the future of video games" - Jensen Huang.
We second you on that, Jensen. Convai will make it easier for game developers to achieve that.

Characters in game worlds powered by Convai can chat with each other, share ideas, and even get another NPC to carry out actions. This tutorial showcases how you can add simple blueprints to add this functionality and even provide topics that these characters will talk about.
Of the billions of people worldwide, only 18% speak English. Embracing multilingual AI is key to diverse virtual experiences and broader adoption for AI NPCs in virtual worlds- which brings us to Convai’s Multilingual Feature!

- How AI NPCs change player engagement forming emotional bonds
- Infusing multimodality into AI NPCs to bring us closer to JARVIS

Our CEO, Purnendu Mukherjee, sat down with Fast Company to talk about our tech and its use cases.
Smart embodied characters not only enable a new generation of games but also can act as study buddies, travel concierges, shop assistants, and brand agents.
To elevate immersive virtual worlds, it's key to bring people together from different places to interact in multiplayer scenarios. But why stop there? With Convai, developers can now add AI NPCs that seamlessly coexist, interact, and even play alongside people.
What do robotics and AI NPCs have in common? A lot! They both require the ability to perceive the environment, plan actions, and interact with humans as well as other robots.
