Convai is a conversational AI tool designed to enable characters with human-like conversation capabilities in virtual worlds and games. The product is built on cutting-edge generative conversational AI technology and aims to address the problem of “hallucination” of information that can occur with large language models.
How It Works
Convai offers an easy-to-use interface to create intelligent characters and plugins to connect them to virtual world assets and game engines. Users can create characters with the right backstory, voice, and expertise, and test them on the playground. The product enables the characters to have open-ended voice-based conversations and carry out actions in the virtual world, based on commands or their own motivation.
