What Convai is
Convai is a conversational AI platform for creating interactive characters and NPCs for games, virtual worlds, training simulations, and XR.

Creation tools are available through a browser or local system, with integrations for Unity, Unreal Engine, 3JS, and other game engines. Character tools include backstories, multilingual support in 60+ languages, 500+ voice options, personality and style settings, a Knowledge Bank, narrative design, and actions.

Its free plan provides 100 monthly interactions, 60 minutes of cloud-rendered Avatar Studio and Convai Sim, and one character session at a time.
