What is Inworld AI?

Inworld AI provides the character layer for games and interactive experiences: a runtime that gives non-player characters a personality definition, goals, memory of past interactions and context-aware dialogue. Developers define a character in a web studio - background, voice, knowledge and safety rules - then drive it at runtime through SDKs and APIs for Unity, Unreal and the web. The pitch is not text generation on its own but the surrounding machinery: state management, relationship tracking and cost controls that a shipped game needs. Studios integrate it for dialogue-heavy games, training simulations and interactive characters.

FAQ

Is Inworld only for games?

Games are the core use case, and the same runtime suits interactive training simulations, virtual presenters and museum or retail characters where a persona must stay consistent over many sessions.

Which engines are supported?

SDKs and integrations cover Unity, Unreal and web or server-side runtimes, so the character logic can run where the rest of your game logic already lives.

How do costs behave at scale?

Charges follow usage, so a chatty character in a popular title costs more than a rare NPC. The analytics dashboard exists precisely to find characters whose behaviour is burning budget.
