Our mission
While game worlds have become more immersive, realistic, and open, interactions with NPCs have remained relatively static, relying on scripted dialogue and behavior.
At Inworld, we believe AI NPCs can forge relationships that are as meaningful as those formed in real life. This is the future of entertainment – stories that are told through characters with rich inner lives, that audiences are invited to participate in. We’re building the tech to facilitate rich interactions and relationships in virtual worlds for gaming and entertainment.
Today, we do that with a creative suite that offers a powerful and intuitive way to build interactive AI characters. Our goal is to power everything from NPCs in video games to customer service agents who have lifelike, engaging, and expressive personalities that mimic the deeply social nature of human interaction.
