Overview

Our Character API allows you to build AI NPCs, assistants, or teammates that you can easily integrate with your games and apps. A Character is defined by its own system prompt as well as other core functions you could leverage: Actions and Voices (beta). You can explore the functionalities of our Characters using the Genova Labs Playground. If you’re looking for a quick setup, check out our 4-step Quickstart Guide to get started!
