Genies and Unity Partnership

• 💡 This integration aims to bring these avatars into the Unity editor, offering users enhanced personalization options.

AI Companions and Human Interaction

• 🤖 The vision is for avatars to act as AI companions that understand and converse with users, feeling more personable.
