VIRTUAL BEINGS

Bridging the uncanny valley with behavioral AI


Long Description
At VIRTUAL BEINGS, our goal is to democratize access to believable and captivating AI characters for developers of all shapes and sizes. We offer Characters-as-a-Service (CaaS) powered by KuteEngine™. CaaS allows anyone to activate, configure and integrate high-end characters into their scenes rapidly and at a fraction of the cost of traditional "game AI" development. For over a decade, all our R&D has gone into KuteEngine™, our behavioral AI engine making truly immersive AI characters for games and the metaverse.
 
Our in-house tech. KuteEngine™
You can think of KuteEngine™ as an ‘operating system’ for AI characters that allows developers to add believable and deeply interactive behaviors to their characters in a rapid, cost-efficient manner. The tech contains three technical pillars, which solve three key problems in making AI characters feel alive, interactive, and engaging. KuteEngine™ is already being used by several leading game studios including Resolution Games and Matterless Studios, and we’re thrilled to now make it available to developers of all sizes as a standalone product.
 
This is a complete solution to create next-gen AI characters. Developers will get out-of-the-box features such as:
 

  • Dynamic pathfinding & navigation, >100x faster than Unity/Unreal
  • Fast full-body procedural animation system
  • Realistic look behaviors
  • Interaction system
  • Behavior Composition, an architecture that lets you assemble behaviors like pieces of LEGO
 
Developers can access the Alpha and Github repository, by joining us on Discord.
