Nifty Island's AI agents are now live
Nifty Island is an open-world multi-chain social game that activates AI agents that players can use both in and out of the game. The agents remember past interactions by reading and writing data from third-party sources, so they don't start from scratch in every session, making gameplay more engaging and dynamic while keeping players alert.
According to the announcement, players can create intelligent NPCs with distinct storylines and personalities, or deploy agents to complete tasks, chat with others, and maintain things while they're offline.
Agents can also operate on other social platforms, allowing players to set them up for interaction across different platforms.
Nifty Island states that they are rolling out more updates to make AI agents more useful.
