About Rct studio

Rct studio, also known as rct.ai, was established in 2018 with a presence in both Los Angeles and Beijing. The company operates as an artificial intelligence solutions provider with a sharp focus on the gaming industry and the development of the metaverse. The founding team, including CEO Jesse Lyu and CTO Yan Zhang, brings a wealth of experience from their previous venture, Raventech, which was acquired by Baidu in 2017. After fulfilling their roles at Baidu in developing the DuerOS voice assistant, the team embarked on this new endeavor to explore the frontiers of interactive entertainment.

Read full description

The core of Rct studio's business is providing AI-driven tools to game developers, enabling the creation of more dynamic and intelligent user experiences. The company serves game studios and content creation platforms, helping them to populate virtual worlds with lifelike, responsive non-player characters (NPCs) and generate content automatically. This approach aims to significantly reduce the manual effort and cost associated with game development. Revenue is generated through providing these AI solutions and related products to clients in the gaming and blockchain sectors.

Rct studio's flagship product is an AI engine known as the Chaos Box, which leverages deep learning and reinforcement learning to generate dynamic NPC responses and storylines without predefined scripts. This technology allows for emergent narratives and behaviors based on player interactions, leading to unique gameplay experiences each time. Another key offering is Deterrence, an AI layer for powering intelligent NFTs, which integrates conversation models and intent recognition to create cognitively aware virtual beings. This has been applied to their AI-to-earn (AI yield farming) models and the AAA play-to-earn game, Delysium. The company has successfully raised significant capital through multiple funding rounds, including a Series A-3 round of over $10 million, to fuel its product development and expansion.
