Fable Studio won an Emmy Award for its Wolves in the Walls virtual reality project. Now it’s relaunching Lucy, a next-generation AI character, to have conversations in the wider world.

Lucy will soon be available on social platforms such as Zoom, Facebook, and Google Hangouts, and people can have conversations with her that will seem realistic because she can draw upon sophisticated memory and AI technology. This is according to Fable cofounders Edward Saatchi and Pete Billington in an interview with GamesBeat. A limited number of people can sign up to try it out.
