Today we're announcing a huge partnership with @unity to bring AI Companion games and experiences to the masses: https://t.co/dfdw1AtjHT
AI Personas are the next interface… and soon, gen alpha and gen z are going to have more AI friends than real life friends.
But AI friends need to feel like real life friends. Visual, interactive, emotional, alive. Real friends aren't chat boxes. You build trust and relationships with someone you can see, touch….and PLAY alongside.
You don't just talk to your friends. You play basketball with them, you go get ice cream together, you go on fishing trips. You DO stuff together.
While we've invested heavily into making sure that AI personas can behaviorally and visually come to life when you're talking, we also wanted to make sure that you can DO things with your AI companions too.
That's why we're so excited to announce our partnership and integration with Unity, the leading platform for game creation with the biggest game developer community in the world. Developers of Unity will be able to leverage our technology (directly from Unity Editor) to explore and create games and experiences for your AI companions.
P.S. Shortly afterwards, we are also going to be announcing a slate of epic IP partners who have come on board to create their AI Companions and game experiences (Parties) with Genies 🙂
Interoperability isn’t just a buzzword - it’s foundational for everything we’re building at Genies and it enables a thriving UGC ecosystem.
Take a peek at our latest blog to learn more about interoperability and the technology we've built to power it: https://t.co/5NqqpScvlv

When we announced Genies Ownership, I talked about how Avatar Ecosystems will impact web3 the same way apps impacted web2.
Going live rn w/ @IzzyPollak to reveal HOW we are building the "Genies Avatar Creator OS" 😎

Avatar Ecosystems for web3 have the potential to have a bigger impact than what apps had on web2.
But in order to realize FULL potential and creativity, the ownership and rights must be in the power of the people.
Today, we make this official 🙏https://t.co/bdpfVeTAPf
This is a massive move toward an open, accessible, public Metaverse for all
Effective immediately, every @genies owner has full commercialization rights over their avatar and wearables –– over time, this will expand to virtual worlds, interactive experiences, and more 🧞♂️💫
