UG Labs has secured $7 million in funding to integrate conversational AI and voice interactivity into children’s games.
Based in Tel Aviv, Israel, UG Labs received this funding round led by MoreVC, along with participation from Amiti Ventures and Mediatek, as well as private angels.
The company has introduced a unique game design approach that incorporates voice interactivity and conversational AI through proprietary algorithms and data.
UG’s game engine technology enables open-ended conversations that dynamically influence gameplay, providing unscripted and interactive experiences with non-player characters. This focus is aimed at younger users, offering them engaging gaming experiences while providing deeper immersion for the whole family.
