Inworld AI raises $10M to develop AI- powered virtual characters for games
Summary
The company will also launch its creator platform later this year, which will offer integrations with game engines and metaverse applications. Its other angel investors include Twitch co-founder Kevin Lin, Animoca Brands co-founder Yat Siu, Oculus co-founder Nate Mitchell, and others. Ilya Gelfenbeyn, Inworld AI CEO, said in a statement, “Similar to how Unity and Unreal allow developers to create visually compelling environments, the Inworld AI platform is designed to help build virtual characters with high configurability to create a more engaging and memorable user experience. But these worlds will feel empty without the right content, and bringing them to life with meaningful social interactions is challenging — unless developers can rely on the benefits of AI and procedural generation to create the engaging characters that populate them. Inworld’s experience, skills, and pace of execution are second to none, and we couldn’t be more excited to partner up.” GamesBeats creed when covering the game industry is "where passion meets business."
