Convai is a platform for building real-time conversational AI characters and 3D avatars for games, XR training simulations, virtual worlds, and enterprise brand experiences.
About
Convai is a platform for creating and deploying real-time conversational AI characters — both embodied 3D avatars and disembodied voice or chat agents — for games, virtual worlds, XR training simulations, spatial computing, and industrial digital twins. The problem it addresses is that most chatbot tools only produce text; Convai adds spatial awareness, multimodal perception, speech, lip-sync, gestures, and physical actions so characters can operate inside 3D environments rather than alongside them.
The platform covers the full pipeline: teams define a character's mind (backstory, personality, knowledge, narrative flows), place it inside an avatar such as a MetaHuman or Reallusion character, and deploy it into a custom environment through Unity, Unreal Engine, the web, or a no-code browser tool. Convai is engine-agnostic, avatar-agnostic, and model-agnostic, and supports deployment across browser chat, voice-only agents, kiosks, and enterprise environments.
Key Features
Pricing & Fees
- Pricing: Not publicly listed on the pages we reviewed; check the official site for current plans.
- No-code options: Avatar Studio and Convai Sim let non-developers build and publish avatar experiences and training simulations directly in a browser.
- Enterprise deployment: Convai lists on-premise, GovCloud, and air-gapped deployment options for enterprise customers.
- Model flexibility: The platform supports major frontier LLMs, so teams are not locked to a single model provider.
- XR animation capture: A Meta Quest app lets developers record custom character animations with the headset instead of a mocap suit.
Who It's For
Convai is built for game developers who want conversational NPCs in Unity or Unreal Engine, and for XR designers creating training simulations and social virtual worlds. Learning and development teams can use the no-code tools to build roleplay and soft-skills scenarios without programmers. Brand marketers can deploy AI brand representatives on websites and kiosks, while enterprise teams working with digital twins get agents that perceive and act within simulated environments.
