We’re trying to make the future of digital interactions better: both with virtual humans, and with real humans. We build two things: Character Engine, a tool which lets you easily create dynamic, autonomous characters who can improvise according to an agenda or narrative that they have whether that is for video games/entertainment, education, customer service, or beyond. And there’s also Ally, a tool for detecting and intervening in the social landscape of online communities — to curtail online harassment, or to promote positive behaviour. This is a place for our executives and senior team members to share their thoughts on the current landscape of AI and related tech.
