Xbox has partnered with gaming AI startup Inworld to build more lifelike NPCs using generative AI. The partnership will involve the creation of a new toolkit to help game developers create more diverse and expansive AI personalities for in-game NPCs.
According to a blog post by Inworld, the company plans to build two tools with Xbox: an AI design co-pilot that will build detailed scripts, dialogue trees, and quests for game developers, and a new AI character runtime engine that can be integrated directly into the game client (allowing NPCs to have dynamically-generated stories, quests, and dialogue).
