It’s 2018! Here’s to living in the future, and some goals:

Happy New Year! Here’s to 2018, and a chance to craft the future we want to see for virtual characters and our online communities, in entertainment and beyond.

Last year was an exciting time for Spirit AI — we came out of stealth mode to announce both of our products, Character Engine and Ally. We grew our incredibly talented teams around the world, consisting of top domain experts in character and narrative AI as well as in some of the best data scientists specialising in player data, and their language & behaviour.

We’re lucky to be in active beta partnerships with some truly wonderful and creative teams who share our vision for virtual characters and/or safer, more engaging communities across games and entertainment and beyond — and we have room for more in 2018, so you could join them too. Just get in touch for more information about how you could use either Character Engine or Ally.

We look forward to opening our community and sharing more of our work with you this year, and giving more of you an insight into just what the state of the art is for virtual characters — and just what the creative possibilities are. We’ll also be talking more about the importance and impact of safer online communities, and sharing the latest research.

We’re excited to leap into 2018 and to be at the forefront of shaping a more engaging, thoughtful, and impactful future for AI in games, entertainment, and beyond.
