Convai

What is Convai?

Convai is a conversational AI platform for creating characters that hold voice conversations and take actions in games, simulations and virtual worlds. Developers integrate them through plugins for Unity and Unreal Engine and through web SDKs and REST APIs.

Key capabilities of Convai

• AI NPCs: Characters with backstories and knowledge that remember context
• Voice conversations: Speech input and spoken replies with low-latency streaming
• Actions and perception: Characters can see their environment and trigger in-game actions
• Engine plugins: Unity and Unreal Engine plugins plus web SDKs
• Custom avatars: Create and customize avatar characters
• Convai Connect: Lets players use their own accounts to pay for AI NPC interactions

How Convai works

A developer defines a character in the Convai dashboard with a backstory and knowledge base, then adds it to a project through a plugin or SDK. At runtime the player speaks or types, Convai streams back voice and text, and the character can call actions in the game. Usage is metered in monthly interactions.

Who uses Convai?

Convai is used by game developers, simulation and training creators, and teams building AI roleplay experiences, including corporate training scenarios.
