Xterio aims to redefine the interaction between AI and humans with emotionally adaptable companions that evolve with users.
In an era where artificial intelligence is reshaping industries, Xterio is taking a bold step forward by partnering with Reka, a leading AI startup, to develop emotionally intelligent AI agents that promise to transform gaming, Web3 and beyond. These agents, powered by a patented emotion engine, are designed to interact, adapt and evolve like human companions, offering more than just utility.
While AI has long played a role in gaming, from NPC behavior to immersive storytelling, Xterio and Reka are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. Their joint effort aims to create AI companions that can read and respond to emotions, delivering nuanced interactions that feel personal, empathetic, and deeply human.
“We are creating AI agents that are not only functional but fundamentally transformative in the way they connect with users,” said Michael Tong, CEO of Xterio. “Our partnership with Reka allows us to integrate cutting-edge emotional intelligence into our products, creating experiences that evolve alongside users in meaningful ways.”
Revolutionizing interaction with AI
At the center of this collaboration is an advanced emotion engine developed by Reka, a company founded by researchers from DeepMind, Google (NASDAQ 🙂 Brain and FAIR. The engine allows Xterio’s AI agents to interpret and respond to human emotions authentically, making them ideal for gaming, personal productivity, and emotional support.
Xterio envisions a future where its AI agents will be extended to support a wide range of user actions, including on-chain trading, investing, and portfolio management. These agents will not only act as emotionally intelligent companions, but they will also act as practical allies, seamlessly managing tasks and providing valuable information tailored to the owner’s needs.
Xterio first introduced its conversational AI technology during the “Meet Your Anima” event in April 2024. This Web3-based experience allowed users to engage in emotional dialogues with a pet-like digital AI, generating widespread praise and More than 1 billion input tokens were processed. The success validated Xterio’s vision of combining emotional depth with advanced AI capabilities.
Building on that momentum, Xterio is set to launch “Befriend,” a gamified event where users interact with AI agents in scenarios that playfully explore AI connections. Participants will not only experience the latest advances in conversational AI, but will also compete for rewards in a uniquely engaging experiment.
A new standard for the AI ​​company
What sets Xterio AI agents apart is their adaptability and reliability. Operating on blockchain technology, these agents have on-chain ownership provenance and provide transparency into every interaction. Beyond gaming, Xterio envisions applications in education, mental health and productivity, where AI agents can become true partners in daily life.
“Imagine an AI companion that evolves with you, offering emotional support, meaningful conversations, and personalized experiences,” said Dani Yogamata, co-founder and CEO of Reka. “This partnership with Xterio brings cutting-edge AI technologies to life in ways that are both entertaining and deeply human.”
Positioning for the future of AI and Web3
Xterio’s partnership with Reka also underlines its broader ambitions in the Web3 ecosystem. By integrating blockchain technology with advanced AI, the company is creating a secure, decentralized framework to train and deploy its emotional engines. Users contribute to the development of AI through interactions, with full confidence that their data remains private and under their control.
Upcoming projects like “Palio,” Xterio’s first native AI game scheduled for Q1 2025, promise to combine conversational AI with business mechanics, showing the versatility of this technology.
The impact of the industry
The Xterio-Reka collaboration highlights a broader trend: the race to create AI that not only acts intelligently but feels human. Emotional AI is poised to become a critical component of user engagement in games, Web3, and enterprise applications. For Xterio, it’s a way to stand out in a competitive landscape by offering experiences that resonate deeply with users.
“As AI continues to evolve, the line between technology and human connection is becoming blurred,” said Michael Tong. “At Xterio, we don’t just create products: we are shaping the future of interaction.”
