What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“AI Pals pioneers uncharted territory in gaming with advanced AI.
Your involvement will guide the development during Early Access into various new directions and makes sure the development stays on track to meet your expectations.
Help to shape this new ground and to make AI Pals the one and only definitive destination for AI-powered companions! Let's explore the possibilities and the future of gaming together!”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“The plan is to release the full version in the second half of 2025. This timeline allows for delivering a polished and feature-rich experience that meets both standards and community expectations, while also providing time to continue refining the AI and ensure it remains state-of-the-art upon release.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“AI Pals is planned to expand beyond its current state in several exciting ways:
  • Pal Behaviors: Give your Pals the ability to proactively interact with you, to explore your desktop, ...and much more!
  • Pal Triggers: Trigger specific Pal actions based on both in-game events and external happenings, adding a new layer of depth to interactions.
  • Advanced Game Mechanics: Introduce more more ways to interact with your Pals and sophisticated function calling capabilities, allowing for complex game mechanics like stats systems, weapons, and winning conditions.
  • Community Collaboration: Enable players to share custom visuals, pals, and more through the Steam Workshop (once we reach a sufficient player base).
  • Deeper Extensibility: Create hooks that allow external applications to interact with your Pals, potentially triggering messages or providing dynamic Pal information.
  • Guard Optimization: Continuously improve the accuracy and performance of the AI Pals Guard system for a smoother experience.
  • Expanded Customization: Add new UI panels and widget types, giving players even more control over their experience.
  • AI Pals Documentation: Develop more text content that delves deeper into AI Pals' capabilities, providing examples and inspiring creative uses.
  • Integration of Cutting-Edge Technologies: Further integration of state-of-the-art technologies and better multi-modal capabilties.
  • Cloud- and Custom Hosted Models: Further exploration of OAI TTS and Text endpoint integration, including a convenient cloud model integration via Steam Microservices.

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version includes all the features described in the 'About This Game' section! AI Spaces are still getting some finishing touches - expect the same full functionality of the normal Chat Interface (session-based memory, context editing, and group chat control) to get added over time!
Please note that you may encounter some bugs or incompatibilities during this development phase. Your reports will help to make the experience even better!”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“The game's price may increase slightly as new features are added throughout Early Access to reward early adopters who provide valuable feedback during development. The final release price is not anticipated to be more than double the initial Early Access price.”

About This Game


AI Pals is your sandbox for endless adventure and role-playing. Empower your creativity and skills by inhabiting roles that challenge and inspire you, while experiencing the thrill of dynamic AI conversations that adapt to your choices and evolve as you interact.
Plus, you don't have to worry about paying for another subscription service. AI Pals is developed with offline first in mind. You can run it completely offline, giving you complete control over your data and AI.

What can I do with AI Pals? - Let your creativity run wild!

Dive into text-based adventures using easy-to-use interfaces or customize your own to interact with AI!
Will you solve a shadowy murder alongside a hard-boiled detective, their words dripping with noir intrigue? Or perhaps journey through enchanted forests guided by a powerful mage? Imagine confiding secrets with a wise AI mentor, their words offering solace, guidance and motivation. The possibilities are as limitless as your imagination.

Select from a diverse cast of AI personalities/roles – friendly characters, storytellers, to even not-so-helpful ones – or be the master of your own universe. Build your OWN Pal from scratch, sculpting their every quirk and characteristic. The creation tools allow you to build characters with completely unique personalities and backstories for truly authentic and immersive experiences.

And what is an AI Pal exactly?

Go beyond personality and craft truly unique companions that reflect YOUR vision. Customize every aspect of your Pal:
  • Face: Bring them to life with images, videos, or even dynamic audio-reactive shaders.
  • Voice: Give them a distinct voice using Text-To-Speech models.
  • Brain: Change their behavior by assigning different Text AI Models to each Pal.
  • Creativity: Tune their personality with preset configurations for your chosen AI model.
And there's so much more to discover about this concept! (see planned features in the Early Access description)

AI Pals are meant to be used in AI Spaces - AI SPACES?!

Imagine personalized interfaces tailored to your every need. Customize backgrounds, colors, panels, ... – make each space unique! Position them anywhere on your desktop for instant access to the right Pal at the right time.

Think of it like this: one AI Space dedicated to immersive text adventures with a storytelling Pal, another for brainstorming character backstories or finding inspiration - all seamlessly switchable from your desktop!


And there's more:
  • Group Chat: Engage with multiple Pals in dynamic group conversations
  • Session Based Memory: Add entire documents to a Pal's limited memory so they can look up information during conversations
  • Function Calling: Experts can expand their Pal's capabilities with custom Python functions

This powerful combination opens up a world of possibilities, and we're just getting started! Explore more feature ideas and support for complex game scenarios in the Early Access description!

Additional Notes for your consideration

Designed for desktop PCs, AI Pals unlocks powerful offline AI experiences. There are quite large models out there, so in other words, the more powerful your PC, the more capable models you can run in terms of output quality and understanding your intent. Modern GPUs are partially supported, with the fastest performance coming from the CUDA 12.1 runtime (NVIDIA RTX cards), and broader but slower support from the Vulkan runtime.

AI Pals comes with an offline AI Guard System that ensures responsible use of AI technology by adhering to the EULA and Steam's Live Content Generation Rules - Please be aware of these rules; they may restrict you. AI Pals was created to entertain, spark imagination, and encourage AI use while helping you discover its potential and limitations. For more information, check out the FAQ thread in the Community Hub!

Let AI Pals empower and entertain you. Create, explore and immerse yourself in any realm you can imagine. Don't forget to add AI Pals to your Wishlist to be notified when it launches.
