Reprinted from panewslab
12/19/2024·6MIn the wave of artificial intelligence reshaping all walks of life, Xterio has reached a strategic cooperation with Reka, the world 's leading AI company, and is committed to developing AI Agents with emotional intelligence to promote innovation in many fields such as games and Web3.
Based on a proprietary emotion engine, these AI Agents can interact, adapt and evolve like human companions, providing users with a deep experience that goes beyond functional support.
Although AI technology has already occupied an important position in the game field, covering many aspects from NPC behavior design to immersive narrative, Xterio and Reka are committed to further breaking through the boundaries of technology and seeking deeper innovation. The goal of the cooperation between the two parties is to create an AI companion with emotional perception and response capabilities, to present a more delicate, personalized and emotionally resonant human-computer interaction, making the experience more humane and in-depth.
"What we are building is not just a functional AI Agent, but an innovative product that can completely change the way users interact," said Michael Tong, CEO of Xterio. "The partnership with Reka integrates cutting-edge emotional intelligence technology into our products to create deeply interactive experiences that can evolve with users."
Revolutionizing the way humans interact with AI
At the heart of this collaboration is an advanced emotion engine developed by Reka. Reka was founded by top researchers from DeepMind, Google Brain and FAIR, and once led the development of AlphaGo. The engine currently developed gives Xterio's AI Agent the ability to truly interpret and respond to human emotions, making it outstanding in fields such as gaming, personal efficiency improvement, and emotional support.
Looking forward to the future, Xterio's AI Agent will no longer be limited to the fields of games and emotional interaction, but will gradually expand to on-chain transactions, investment and asset management, etc. to meet broader user needs. These AI Agents not only possess emotional intelligence and can become human emotional companions, but also become practical intelligent assistants that can smoothly manage various tasks and provide customized insights and support based on user needs.
In April 2024, Xterio demonstrated its cutting-edge conversational AI technology for the first time at the "Meet Your Anima" event. In this Web3-based experience, users can have emotional conversations with digital pet-like AI, which has been widely praised and has processed more than 1 billion input tokens. This success validates Xterio’s vision of combining emotional depth with advanced AI technology.
On this basis, Xterio has launched a beta version of gamification interaction called "Befriend". Users will be deeply connected with AI in diverse interactive scenarios, not only able to experience the most cutting-edge conversational AI technology, but also participate in fascinating interactive challenges and compete for generous rewards. Currently, in the week since Xterio BeFriend AI Agent Beta was launched, the daily active wallets have exceeded 1M, the accumulated addresses have exceeded the 10M mark, and the transactions have exceeded 100M.
New standard for AI companions
Xterio's AI Agent is unique and stands out for its high adaptability and trustworthiness. Relying on blockchain technology, these Agents can ensure that users have complete ownership of their data and maintain data transparency and controllability in every interaction. In addition to applications in the gaming field, Xterio also envisions expanding AI Agent to scenarios such as education, mental health, and production, aiming to become a trustworthy partner in users' daily lives.
“Imagine an AI companion that grows with you, providing emotional support, in-depth conversations, and personalized experiences,” said Dani Yogatama, co-founder and CEO of Reka. “The partnership with Xterio brings cutting-edge AI technology to life in an entertaining way. and presented in a humanistic way.”
Facing the future of AI and Web3
Xterio's cooperation with Reka fully demonstrates its grand vision in the Web3 ecosystem. By combining blockchain technology with cutting-edge AI technology, Xterio is building a secure decentralized framework for training and deploying emotion engines. Users continue to promote the development of AI through interaction while ensuring data privacy and control.
Upcoming projects include “Palio”, Xterio’s first AI-native game scheduled to be launched in the first quarter of 2025. It integrates conversational AI and transaction mechanisms to demonstrate the huge potential of AI technology in a wide range of application scenarios.
Industry driving force
The cooperation between Xterio and Reka reveals a major industry trend: the world is racing to build AI with the ability to transmit intelligence and human emotions. Emotional AI is gradually becoming a key technology for improving user experience in games, Web3 and enterprise applications. For Xterio, this means standing out in a highly competitive market and providing users with a more in-depth and resonant human-computer interaction experience.
“As AI technology continues to evolve, the boundaries between human emotions and technology connections are gradually blurring,” said Michael Tong, CEO of Xterio. “At Xterio, we are not only building products, but also shaping the future of human-computer interaction. "
