As artificial intelligence reshapes all walks of life, Xterio has reached a strategic partnership with Reka, a world-leading AI company, and is committed to developing AI agents with emotional intelligence to promote innovation in multiple 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 played an important role in the gaming 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, presenting a more delicate, personalized and emotionally resonant human-computer interaction, making the experience more humane and profound.
"We are building more than just functional AI agents, we are building innovative products that can revolutionize the way users interact with our products," said Michael Tong, CEO of Xterio. "Our collaboration with Reka will bring cutting-edge emotional intelligence technology to our products, creating a deeply interactive experience that evolves with users."
Revolutionizing the way humans interact with AI
At the heart of this collaboration is an advanced emotion engine developed by Reka, which was founded by top researchers from DeepMind, Google Brain and FAIR and led the development of AlphaGo. The engine currently developed gives Xterio's AI Agent the ability to truly interpret and respond to human emotions, enabling it to excel in areas such as gaming, personal productivity and emotional support.
Looking ahead, Xterio's AI Agents will no longer be limited to the fields of gaming and emotional interaction, but will gradually expand to on-chain transactions, investment and asset management, etc., to meet a wider range of user needs. These AI Agents will not only have emotional intelligence and be able to become emotional companions for humans, but will also become practical smart assistants, smoothly managing various tasks and providing tailored insights and support based on user needs.
In April 2024, Xterio debuted its cutting-edge conversational AI technology at the "Meet Your Anima" event. This Web3-based experience, where users were able to engage in emotional conversations with a digital pet-like AI, received widespread acclaim and 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 gamified interactive Beta version called "Befriend". Users will be deeply connected with AI in a variety of interactive scenarios, not only to experience the most cutting-edge conversational AI technology, but also to participate in fascinating interactive challenges and compete for generous rewards. Currently, Xterio BeFriend AI Agent Beta has been online for a week, with more than 1M active wallets per day, and the cumulative address has exceeded 10M, and the transaction has exceeded 100M.
A new standard for AI companions
Xterio's AI Agent is unique and stands out for its high adaptability and reliability. Relying on blockchain technology, these Agents can ensure that users have full ownership of their data and keep the data transparent and controllable in every interaction. In addition to its application in the gaming field, Xterio also envisions expanding AI Agent to scenarios such as education, mental health and production, and is committed to becoming a trustworthy partner in users' daily lives.
“Imagine an AI companion that grows with you, providing emotional support, deep conversations, and personalized experiences,” said Dani Yogatama, co-founder and CEO of Reka. “Our partnership with Xterio brings cutting-edge AI technology to life in a way that’s both entertaining and human.”
Towards the future of AI and Web3
Xterio's collaboration 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 can continuously 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, combining conversational AI with transaction mechanisms to demonstrate the huge potential of AI technology in a wide range of application scenarios.
Industry driving force
The collaboration between Xterio and Reka reveals a major industry trend: the world is competing to build AI with intelligence and the ability to convey human emotions. Emotional AI is gradually becoming a key technology to improve user experience in games, Web3 and enterprise applications. For Xterio, this means standing out in the fiercely competitive market and providing users with a more in-depth and resonant human-computer interaction experience.
“As AI continues to evolve, the boundaries between human emotion and technology are blurring,” said Michael Tong, CEO of Xterio. “At Xterio, we are not just building products, we are shaping the future of human-machine interaction.”
