In inglese

Inworld AI was founded in 2021 by Ilya Gelfenbeyn, Kylan Gibbs, and Michael Ermolenko and is based in Mountain View, California. The company builds a Character Engine that lets game studios and other developers create non-player characters with persistent memory, personality traits, emotional states, and goal-driven behavior, rather than relying on the branching dialogue trees that have driven NPC conversation for decades. The platform chains together speech recognition, text-to-speech, and safety filtering behind a single API, and ships SDKs for Unreal Engine, Unity, and web and mobile clients, alongside a no-code studio for authoring character personas. Partners and pilots have included Microsoft's Xbox team, LG, Dentsu, and a roster of indie and mid-size studios experimenting with AI-driven companions and quest-givers. Inworld has raised more than $120 million from investors including Lightspeed Venture Partners, Microsoft's M12, Samsung Next, and Stanford University, valuing the company at roughly $500 million as of its August 2023 Series B round.
