Rising Tides is giving SIMCITY2000 vibes in the best possible way.
I used to love coming back to see how the my city had changed and now we'll be able to see this in the form of characters.
We're also building Rising Tides, a multi-agent simulation where Characters have their own lives.
They form relationships, get into conflicts, make decisions - all driven by the same emotional and memory systems that power everything we build. You're not playing as a character. You're watching a small society of AI beings unfold.
We think the companion apps of today aren't enough.
One-on-one chatbots are a starting point, not a destination. The most interesting products in the space will have multiple Characters working side by side.
