Convai has partnered with Unity to enhance its AI-powered non-player characters (NPCs) for games.
Convai is showcasing various game demos with AI NPCs at this year’s Game Developers Conference (GDC). These NPCs have the ability to engage in longer, human-like conversations with players.
The NPCs utilize generative AI through various large language models (LLMs).
Convai’s collaboration with Unity is at the core of its presentation, featuring an AI-NPC powered game demo created by Convai’s creative director, Sakura Rabbit. Leveraging Unity’s AI platform, Convai enhances its perception and action system for AI characters, setting new standards for immersive gameplay.
