AlterVerse, a premier gaming and world creation platform supported by Binance Labs and Polygon Ventures, recently made public its innovative AI (Artificial Intelligence) non-player characters (NPCs) during the ongoing beta testing of its highly-anticipated game, Sky City.
This significant feature, brought to life by Convai, a startup in the NVIDIA Inception program, pioneers the integration of AI in the gaming industry to guide newcomers, enabling them to elevate their skills through dialogue with AI-powered NPCs.
The AI integration also opens doors for brands to set up digital storefronts in AlterVerse. Their AI shopkeepers, equipped with in-depth knowledge of the brands’ products, interact with players to drive sales and provide customer service. Brands such as RIOT Energy, Scuti, Razor Scooters, and Gate.io are already part of over a hundred collaborations AlterVerse has established.
AlterVerse CEO, Scot Kinney, underscored the potential of the AI NPCs, explaining, “These characters represent a new fusion of AI, Web3, and immersive technologies, offering a unique digital experience while transforming how brands interact and engage with their customers online.”
NFT AI Companions to Revolutionize Player Interaction
AlterVerse is further redefining gaming norms by introducing non-fungible token (NFT) AI companions that can be accessed anytime, anywhere. These NFT companions offer tailored guidance that continually evolves with every interaction.
AlterVerse’s latest innovation comes on the heels of its successful funding round supported by major participants such as Binance Labs, Polygon Ventures, Gate.io Labs, Baselayer Capital, and EnjinStarter.
Closed Beta of Sky City Showcases AI Power
Sky City, presently in its Closed Beta phase, is the first gaming experience launched by AlterVerse. As the central hub of the platform, it provides an array of mini-games that creators can use to construct their own custom gaming experiences.
Nicholas Longano, CEO of Scuti, expressed his enthusiasm about the innovation: “AlterVerse, in partnership with Convai’s AI NPCs and SCUTI’s AI-driven marketplace, is set to radically transform how players discover and shop for products.”
AlterVerse has provided more information about the Sky City Closed Beta and AI features, including a video demonstration of its AI NPCs, on its website.
