The Auxuman’s are a new collective of AI-driven virtual musicians comprised of five artists: Yona, Mony, Gemini, Hexe, and Zoya. The group was created by the virtual entertainer development studio, Auxuman, thanks to funding from Betaworks, and currently has one album and 2 singles.
Each character—or bandmate—of Auxuman has a unique personality and the songs are crafted using "use a combination of internet data, artificial intelligence, and generative tools to develop their own original compositions."
Ash Koosha, the Founder and CEO of Auxuman, commented on the team's interest in gaming, stating: "I think there is a lot of promise in-game streaming and cloud gaming where we can actually merge the lives of these characters into platforms that people can access. So it’s gonna be a bi-directional scenario. I think their presence is going to be very transmedia.”
