- Inworld AI released the Beta version of Inworld Studio, a platform that empowers developers and creators to build artificial intelligence-powered virtual characters that demonstrate human-like perception, cognitive abilities, and behaviors. In crafting their character’s brain, creators are able to tailor many elements of cognition and behavior, such as goals and motivations, manners of speech, memories and knowledge, and voice. Upon completion, characters are trained and immediately ready to interact. Users can jump straight into a conversation through the studio chat for testing, or use Inworld’s companion Oculus application to have an immersive VR interaction with their characters. Once ready, developers can fully integrate characters into their games and experiences using Inworld’s integrations with game engines such as Unity and Unreal.
