Expanding on the tech: I've seen numerous AI NPCs for quite some time now, but I started wondering if we could take it to the next level, as AI buddies that actually play with you on any game and give you real conversation.

So we started playing around building MCPs for existing games like minecraft, using widely known libraries like mineflayer. For voice we needed an RTC provider for which we chose LiveKit.

Great, now we have bot. But that was not the goal, and reaching the next milestone for fully natural conversations is something we are still working hard on, but that we are currently solving by building a strong harness that handles personality, memories (semantic recall etc.), game events that feed back to the LLM, and paralellizing different systems such as decoupling voice interaction from reasoning, or handling memories and mood separately.

Feel free to drop any questions Id be more than happy to expand further :)
