Create
Build AI characters in minutes
Use natural language prompts and simple controls to configure your character’s personality. Take things deeper by describing your character’s backstory, motivations, memories, base of knowledge, speaking style, and voice.
Powering everything behind the scenes is Inworld Engine: 20 machine learning and character AI models that are designed to mimic human gestures, speech, safety, emotion, and memory.
Playtest
Make your characters more real
Just like characters from stories you know and love, Inworld characters don’t start out fully formed. Refine them by jumping straight into a conversation through studio chat or in VR with our Oculus application.

Take your characters into new worlds
Once your characters are ready to make people laugh, smile, and maybe even cry, it’s time to deploy.
AI characters can be deployed into games and virtual worlds using comprehensive packages for common engines like Unity and Unreal. A Node.js SDK is also available.
"Characters in games and other digital experiences tend to be static, working from a set of lines and responses. But the future of games could be more responsive, generative and of course AI-powered — something Inworld AI is attempting to enable by letting developers create rich, interactive characters as simply as they might tell another AI to draw a bird."

"Inworld AI is powerfully pushing forward the types of experiences possible within interactive worlds like cinema and games by enabling creators to develop intelligent characters who naturally interact, emotionally behave, intuitively learn and individually express who they are in ways we’ve never seen."

"Believable NPCs with unique personalities, memories, and experiences are really important to storytelling and roleplaying in games. With Inworld, you can easily create these virtual characters, making true world-building even more accessible to devs and player creators alike."

"Adding the complexities of the human mind to virtual characters is going to bring disruptive changes to almost every aspect of our life, especially the future education, which I care about the most. I can’t imagine a better team to be working on this - they are the veterans of the ML and AI space."
