Inworld AI provides a developer platform for creating AI-powered virtual characters to populate immersive realities, including the metaverse, VR/AR, games, and virtual worlds. Building truly intelligent virtual characters is challenging, and it takes a great deal of specialization. Our aim at Inworld AI is to perform the required heavy lifting. We want to enable partners and creators to leverage our platform to build and deploy virtual characters for a variety of use cases.




We are a team of experts that have pioneered conversational AI platforms and generative models at Google and DeepMind. Inworld AI is funded by Meta, Microsoft's venture fund M12, Bitkraft, Kleiner Perkins, CRV, and angels including founders of Oculus, Twitch, Riot Games, the Sandbox, Animoca Brands, and many more.
