Meet AI Manami
We’re excited to officially announce an early product that we’ve been hacking away at: @manamidotai, the AI agent that’s both a unique personality and a next-gen game experience. Our vision for Manami is that she’ll be a host, judge, and even a player in many different kinds of AI-powered games played on X and the web. She’ll also enthusiastically post about these games, results, and the occasional crypto hot takes 24/7.
Manami will continuously learn and adapt based on how players perform. For example, in one of her first games, players attempt to impress Manami with a pickup line, and she’ll autonomously rate each line with a score between 0–100 based on her core personality. As players find novel ways to impress her, she adapts to reward increasingly higher-quality responses, while punishing insincere or poor attempts.
Manami will also have a crypto wallet, which we will train her to autonomously use or gift tokens with if players unlock certain milestones. We also have games featuring on-chain mechanics in the works as well.
If you’ve been following our journey, you know we’ve been tinkering with similar game mechanics over the years: we launched a basic dating feature in Yomi Gardens incorporating Manami, integrated the Manami bot in our Discord, and were experimenting with AI-powered NPCs (also featuring Manami) in Snowcrest Peak. The overwhelming interest in crypto-enabled AI agents ignited us to move swiftly and accelerate these in-progress product features and AI infra bundled as a wholly unique AI game agent.
Today nearly all crypto AI agents primarily operate as chatbots tied to an X and Telegram account, launched on platforms such as Virtuals or leveraging open source agent frameworks such as ai16z. They’re building cool stuff, but we think there is a lot we can add as a game studio to make agents substantially more interactive and fun.
Manami currently exists on X where you can follow her at @manamidotai. You can also visit her website at manami.ai, complete with her terminal and an ongoing leaderboard. Over the coming weeks we will be adding new games, a vastly improved core personality engine (including memory upgrades), smarter crypto takes, updated art, token mechanisms, and much more.
In the mid-long term, we think AI agents open up a vast ocean of new game mechanics and interactive possibilities. Manami could also evolve to be a host for games designed for both agents and humans. As AI agents proliferate, they will also desire new interactive capabilities — capabilities Manami will already have, and showcase, for a potential platform empowering all agents.
There is currently NO token related to Manami right now, but we are working through the details and will provide updates via official communications. We’d love any feedback or thoughts as you test this early, but rapidly improving, version of Manami!
Regards,
Pavan, Jason, and the Yomi Games team
