BeingAI, a technology company specializing in creating virtual beings with artificial intelligence, has unveiled its latest virtual character named 'Zbee'.
'Zbee' is the most dynamic and human-like virtual robot to be produced by the company yet. This AI-powered character is capable of existing on multiple platforms and was designed with its own personality, preferences, and extensive backstory. Alongside general tech-related assistance, the purpose of 'Zbee' is to offer users friendship, entertainment, and even mentorship.
“We’re trying to make a convergence between gamification and interaction fiction,” said Jeanne Lim, the CEO BeingAI, which is why the motivation for creating 'Zbee' was to create a virtual companion -- not a servant. Currently, the company is also working on creating an augmented reality platform in which users would be able to interact with 'Zbee' in real-world settings via their mobile phones or AR glasses.
