Making virtual interactions more engaging
Unlike contact-centre focused chatbot solutions, Charisma gives characters emotion, memory and stories that resonate with audiences – a capability needed by brands and media companies wanting to create engaging and compelling characters that are a part of a rich story universe. Players and audiences can meet them, converse with them, and change the story. This requires a unique approach to AI, integrating it with storytelling and creative processes.
"Digital Catapult has opened up opportunities in the UK and beyond across AI, creativity and research."
Reaching a new generation of audiences
The company makes significant contributions to education, research and ethics in AI, as well as diversity and social impact initiatives. Their activities – including running Writers Labs, creating digital theatre options during lockdown, and founding the Collaborative AI Consortium – promote digital creativity to writers, publishers and producers, helping to educate and entertain a new generation of audiences.
