In what presents a “platform shift”-grade opportunity, Inworld has established itself as an influential AI-first game development engine, enabling the creation of previously impossible experiences. While Unreal (PC / console) and Unity (mobile / XR) focus on environments and visuals, Inworld (AI-first) focuses on non-player characters (“NPCs”) and logic. Led by AI/ML pioneers from Google and DeepMind, the company provides a web-based no-code editor, an integrated machine learning infrastructure, and various integration options to enable dialogue, interactions, animation, movement, and goals of virtual characters across gaming, media, and enterprise use cases.
