Convai

Our first major customer showcases and biggest feature release yet! Since we came out of stealth a year ago, over 1000 studios and indie game developers have been actively developing and building on top of Convai. https://lnkd.in/eEPnvr-T Today, we are showcasing some of their stories, including Second Life, Stormgate, and some of our favorite indie developers. We’re releasing a new suite of features addressing pain points and concerns game studios had around cost, control of characters, and confidence to ship them in production. This release also includes state-of-the-art AI capabilities like long-term memory and multilingual. #GDC2024 #AINPCs #aiingaming

Convai is a creator-first tool. Advanced creators want programmatic access to their AI characters. Convai is opening up an expanded set of Core APIs for easily creating, updating, and enabling your 3D AI Characters with various abilities. Here’s a tutorial showing how simple it is to use the REST APIs to craft your characters. #AICharacters #Convai #3DAvatars #UnrealEngine #Unity

Allow me to introduce Colonel Karl Hartmann. Colonel Hartmann is a LLM-supported avatar, the result of two days of playtesting a #wargame for #PME in the Bundeswehr (German Federal Armed Forces) with experts in AI, XR, and software engineering. Currently, he provides players with in-depth knowledge of the rules.In the near future, he will have the capacity to perform additional tasks. The BWI GmbH team is training Colonel Hartmann in doctrine and working on ways to provide him situational awareness of the game, enabling him to articulate the rules and causes of action in the most effective manner, providing substantial support to players. In addition, he will support the facilitator in the adjudication and provide valuable insights into the decision-making process during the game for analysis. However, it is important to note that he will never replace a player. In wargaming, human decision-making is paramount, and relying on AI is not a learning strategy that we wish to pursue. Military leaders must exercise critical thinking skills independently. I would like to express my sincere thanks to Frederic Jakobi and Thomas Altmann for leading the development of the game based on Sebastian Bae's Littoral Commander. Matthias D?ring, who leveraged the impressive capabilities of BWI GmbH and brought in experts such as Tadele Zei?ig Zeisig, Jonas Thiessen, Arne Menzel, Niklas Knaak and Manuel Schmidt to assist, made the biggest difference in the digitalization. We are still a long way from the end of our journey!

Mixed Reality (MR) blends the real and virtual worlds, allowing simultaneous interaction with both. Unlike VR’s full immersion, MR lets users stay aware of their surroundings, which is essential for safety reasons in any real-world scenario, while VR isolates them, limiting its use outdoors. In my opinion, MR is ideal for education and training, which is why it’s the focus of my PhD research. What if we could connect AI tutors with our brains to make learning materials more efficient and personalised? Let the journey begin! #Phd #Mixedreality #GenAI #Neurofeedback #Unity?#Convai?#Education

New Paper: VR and intelligent AI We have been carrying out a lot of research into #virtualreality and #digitaltwins of late and now great to see our use of conversational #AI 's in these. Some really nice work by Mae Taylor on this, with Steven Brown, Scott Bader, Andy Merritt, LifeArc, Dr Blanka Hilton ( MSc, PhD, SFHEA), Matthew Penny, Zaid Alasady. The VR digital twin of our lab now features intelligent conversational AIs that can speak with you 24/7. This changes the way we do everything. The avatars are powered by Convai and enable an excellent approach to maintain lab knowledge through generations. UCL Faculty of Life Sciences, UCL Innovation & Enterprise. Great to see this work out in Digital Discovery #RSCDigital
