Founded in 2023, ego AI is building a next-generation character engine powered by a proprietary foundation model that blends small language models with reinforcement learning to generate human-like behavior. Its flagship product, character.world, lets developers embed lifelike AI characters into games, while the open-source Character Context Protocol (CCP) preserves personalities, memories, and relationships as characters move across Discord servers, streaming platforms, and other digital environments. The company has demonstrated early market traction, attracting more than one million users to its initial Roblox experience within the first month and rolling out a Discord character game in partnership with MEE6. ego AI is preparing to launch “Accomplice,” an AI-powered social deduction game that will debut on Discord with a planned Steam release. To support compute-intensive model training and serving, ego AI collaborates with AI Singapore, the National University of Singapore, and Nanyang Technological University. Headquartered in San Francisco with research teams in Singapore and Tokyo, the company recently secured $6.7 million in seed capital to expand research and engineering and further train its foundation model.
