Inworld AI

Inworld AI is the leading Character Engine for powering AI-driven characters in gaming, entertainment, and interactive experiences.

Inworld AI's mission is to create and inspire new meaningful relationships.

Inworld AI was founded in 2021 by Ilya Gelfenbeyn, Michael Ermolenko and Kylan Gibbs. The company is headquartered in Mountain View, California.

 

Inworld’s technology goes beyond existing large language models (LLMs) and chatbots, allowing developers to power AI-driven non-player characters (NPCs), bringing depth and realism to characters, and rendering them within the logic and fantasy of their worlds.

 

Inworld powers multimodal character expression by orchestrating multiple machine learning models that are designed to mimic the full-range of human communication. The platform allows developers to link Inworld’s character brains to their animation and rigging systems, including in 3D environments.

 

The Inworld Character Engine is integrated in the industry’s top game development engines, and is featured in Unity's new AI Marketplace as a Unity Verified Solution. Inworld has broad applications outside of gaming and metaverse, and can also be used for entertainment, sales & marketing, and training & education.

 

Inworld is backed by Section32, Intel Capital, Founders Fund, Kleiner Perkins, Lightspeed Venture Partners. BITKRAFT, Meta, CRV, M12 Fund, Accelerator Investments, First Spark Ventures, NTT Docomo Ventures, Stanford University, Samsung Next, LG Technology Ventures, and others. The company raised $50M in a new round on Aug 02, 2023. This brings Inworld's total funding to $119.7M to date.
