Niantic rolls out GenAI tools for 8th Wall developers

Niantic announced this week that it is introducing new generative AI developer tools to its 8th Wall platform. More specifically, it’s adding GenAI modules to 8th Wall that make it easier for developers to streamline their processes. Devs can use these tools to incorporate GenAI into their WebAR development within 8th Wall, and Niantic has also introduced two sample projects for developers.

The modules include Inworld AI’s Integration Module and the 8th Wall Integration Module for OpenAI. As the names suggest, these modules are designed to make integration with existing AI technology easier and more intuitive for 8th Wall developers. Inworld AI’s integration allows creators to add interactive AI-driven characters within AR projects. OpenAI’s module allows developers to more easily add ChatGPT and DALL-E for users to generate items within their AR world.
