AI Characters
Not a chatbot with a face. Someone you'd come back to.
A character has a personality that holds, a memory of you, a voice, a presence, goals of its own and relationships that change. Building that takes character systems — the discipline that made game characters feel alive — pointed at intelligence instead of animation.
Agents and characters
An agent gets things done. A character is someone you meet.
They overlap — a character can act, an agent can have a voice — but they are not the same idea. One is measured by what it accomplishes. The other by whether you'd come back.
