?? We are excited to welcome Peggy Wang, Co-Founder and CTO of ego (YC W24), as a featured speaker at our upcoming conference. Ego is building the first 3D generative AI-powered simulation engine, where non-technical creators can generate realistic characters powered by LLMs, 3D worlds, and interaction code/scripts with just prompts. Catch Peggy’s valuable insights on the XR & AI Panel at 2:00 PM. ? Learn more about Ego: https://www.ego.live/ ?? Featured on Launch YC: https://lnkd.in/gYQm54As ??

We're #hiring a new Senior Game Developer (Unreal Engine) in San Francisco Bay Area. Apply today or share this post with your network.

Come join us April 23rd at 4:30 to see Vishnu Hari talk about AI Simulation Engines: Generating the Matrix One Pixel at a Time

ego (YC W24) is an AI-native simulation engine and platform where users can create and share 3D animated characters, worlds, games, and scripted interactions all using natural language. Imagine being able to prompt Minecraft, The Sims, or Animal Crossing into existence. With the advent of large language and diffusion models, there's an incredible opportunity to solve three seemingly intractable problems in open-world games and simulations: 1. It is hard for humans to write code and script interactions between assets, characters, and the environment to design fun games and experiences 2. It was impossible for NPCs to display human-like behavior and have true agency in these 3D worlds 3. It is hard to create new 3D assets, worlds, and non-playable characters Peggy Wang and Vishnu H. founded ego to build an AI native simulation engine to solve all three problems. And they've started by tackling the first two. ego is the first generative AI-powered simulation engine, where non-technical creators can generate realistic characters powered by LLMs, 3D worlds, and interaction code and scripts with just prompts. Before Ego, Peggy shipped the real-time face tracking pipeline for Meta’s AR Avatars in Meta Reality Labs, and previously researched autonomous driving behavior planning algorithms at Stanford and Lyft. She also plays way too much Genshin in her free time. Vish led the FB AI Applied Research team and the Meta Horizon Scripting team. He learned how to program by modding video games as a teenager and also wrote screenplays for films (like Acceptance). Now in the age of Gen AI, they believe it's finally possible to build a game engine that is also a game. Congrats on the launch, Peggy and Vishnu!
