📌 AI Agents in the Metaverse
In the Metaverse, you'll find Verses with AI Agents trained on specific topics. You can interact with an Agent by:
- Getting close to it in the Verse.
- Starting a chat through the Participants Sidebar.
This chat allows you to engage with the AI via voice or text, creating dynamic and interactive experiences.
📌 Chat Translation
Some chat experiences support built-in translations.
You can enable translation to receive live translations of new messages.
Translation will only apply to messages sent after the feature is activated—previous messages will not be translated. You can also disable translation at any time.
If needed, you can translate individual messages without enabling translation for the entire chat.
You can also implement chat translations in your own Metaverse experiences using AI Agents. To do this, you only need an OpenAI API Key.
