Crucible's Emergence SDK is coming soon to give us digital agents.

Crucible is creating agents to keep the metaverse open

If you want to cruise around the metaverse in the future, you might do it with multiple digital identities, or agents. And if that sounds appealing, Crucible wants to be the company that enables that agent for you. Your agent will be all that you need to navigate the metaverse, the universe of virtual worlds that are all interconnected, like in novels such as Snow Crash and Ready Player One.

Crucible cofounder Ryan Gill said in an interview with GamesBeat that his company has created a way to build the open metaverse using web technologies and other tools the company has captured in its Emergence software development kit (SDK). And that’s why he spoke on a panel with Crucible chief technology officer Toby Tremayne at our GamesBeat Summit: Into the Metaverse online event.
