From the beginning of gaming itself, we’ve been stuck with the same scripted, predictable NPCs in our games, with their limitations, repetitive dialogs, and without any option to do something unexpected.
We’re thrilled to announce that the Alpha version of AI People has officially launched today! After months of anticipation, the game is finally available to the public, offering a first glimpse into the groundbreaking world we’ve been developing. The Alpha release marks a major milestone for us at GoodAI, and we can’t wait for you to experience it.
You still have a chance to join the AI revolution in gaming and be part of the movement towards true AI NPCs!
From the beginning of gaming itself, we’ve been stuck with the same scripted, predictable NPCs in our games, with their limitations, repetitive dialogs, and without any option to do something unexpected.
We’re taking an incremental approach, allowing players in gradually to ensure a smooth experience and gather valuable feedback.
Experience our groundbreaking AI technology that brings NPCs to life like never before. Our AI Director orchestrates NPC behaviors into convincing emergent narratives.
The alpha version features 3 different maps and one scenario without a plot for each of those maps. Those can be used as templates. Apart from that, we prepared more than 10 pre-made scenarios for you to explore, each showcasing different aspects of our AI technology.
We’re excited to see what our community creates! Players will be able to create and share their own scenarios through Mod.io, expanding the game’s content beyond our initial offerings.
Initial gameplay will focus on a maximum of 10-minute sessions, perfect for quick, engaging experiences. These sessions primarily involve social interactions and basic environmental engagement. Longer persistent sessions and more complex challenges are planned for future updates.
Watch as AI NPCs interact with their surroundings, the player, and other NPCs in dynamic and surprising ways.
The alpha launch features primary scenarios set in a modern-day theme, providing a familiar yet exciting backdrop for your adventures.
In order to play, you will have to download a Dedicated Platform: AI People is currently available exclusively through our platform, not on Steam or other stores at launch. Our platform enables us to rapidly update and optimize the game based on your feedback, refining AI People to meet our community’s needs.
Important! Due to technical limitations, we will distribute access to the game platform and the game itself in batches. The reason behind this is, that in the very beginning, we don’t want to overload our server, which could potentially lead to a worse experience for those who would be trying to unleash their creativity in the interaction with our revolutionary NPCs.
We’ve created several batches for distributing access, and we’ll be granting access in waves. Those selected in the first batch have already received confirmation emails with instructions on how to activate the game. If you haven’t received an email yet, please don’t try to register, as your access will still be blocked. But don’t worry—your time is coming soon!
Access will be granted only to those on the waiting list.

The game uses LLM (large language model) to generate objectives and actions of NPCs. It is a sandbox where you can create what you want, get into an infinite number of different situations and also share your creations on the Workshop.
The game uses a mouse and keyboard only and cannot be controlled by the controller.
If you click on an NPC to activate the talk window, you can type in anything you want using the keyboard. The NPC will react to it.
There are also some advanced controls like pausing the game using F1 or showing interactable objects using Tab. For those, please go to Option – Controls.

To support the advanced cloud AI infrastructure powering AI People, we’re introducing a subscription-based model:
We understand this model differs from traditional game pricing. It reflects the substantial computing power required to create truly dynamic AI-driven experiences. We’ve optimized costs as much as possible to make the game accessible and sustainable.
Looking ahead, we’re actively developing a local LLM that runs on your PC. This could potentially allow us to transition to a standard one-time purchase model in the future, making AI People even more accessible.
Your support during this phase is crucial as we push the boundaries of AI in gaming. We’re committed to continuously improving and optimizing the experience based on your feedback.
AI People isn’t just a game; it’s the realization of a vision that has driven us at GoodAI for years. What began as a platform for experimenting with AI agents on our path to AGI has evolved into something much bigger. Frustrated by the stagnant progress in NPC behavior over the past decades, we set out to create AI NPCs that not only behave more intelligently but also feel like real companions—friends, even children.
These characters form bonds that transcend the digital realm and one day, they could become our equals, contributing to the future of human civilization. With AI People, you’re stepping into a revolution where NPCs truly talk, observe, interact, and create stories on the fly.
This is the future of gaming: intelligent characters that remember your actions, form opinions, react dynamically to the environment, and generate unique emergent storylines. In this sandbox game, every interaction is unique, every scenario adapts to your choices, and every experience feels alive. Join us in shaping the future of gaming AI, where your creativity and feedback will help us unlock new frontiers.
With the Alpha finally released to the public, we are looking forward to proceeding through our exciting roadmap including:
