I quit my job to work to create a story game powered by AI. We have a few agents that are in charge of memories, perception, and unlocking game achievements. If that sounds cool you can give it a try here:

I've just released a little story game where the goal is to build trust with the main character to uncover his backstory. And now I'm trying to figure out how to get the word out, which I have 0 experience doing!

You will find many agents that solved (e.g., finished, reached high score) atari games, but there is still so much more work to do in the field. I wrote my Master's thesis on how to learn from few interactions with the game, so that if the algorithm is ported to actual robots they don't need to walk and fall for centuries before learning behaviors. I think there is more research to do on higher levels of generalization: when you know how to play a few video games, you quickly understand how to play a new one intuitively, and I haven't seen thorough research on that.
My team’s building micro AI agents that perform very specific tasks really well. Right now, we see ourselves more as a consulting firm, developing custom agents while we search for the right vertical to specialize in. Eventually, we’d love to turn that into a SaaS product. We only have demos to show yet, but I’d be happy to chat more about it :)
I quit my job last December to start an AI x AdTech startup which didn't work out: we discovered a similar piece of tech was about to get released by Google AdX. So now it's back to finding ideas, I'm sure there are niche problems that can be addressed using AI agents, one idea we have is developing an AI agent enabling content creators to better connect with their community.
