What is Convai?

Convai is a conversational AI platform that gives characters in games and virtual worlds the ability to chat with people. You can build characters with their own backstories, voices, and areas of expertise, then connect them to your game assets or virtual world applications. Characters can hold open-ended conversations, perceive their surroundings, and perform actions, making virtual experiences more believable. The platform is designed to be user-friendly and connects with popular game engines via Core APIs and integrations.
