Matrix.One, the decentralized protocol accelerating the development of human-like AI characters, is excited to announce that its flagship product, Avatar.One, has surpassed 120,000 monthly active users worldwide since its launch earlier this year, with many spending over three hours chatting with their personalized AI companions. Built with over 100,000 connected Solana wallets, Avatar.One allows users to easily create their ideal 3D AI companion to help combat the loneliness epidemic around the world.
Avatar.One’s avatar creator allows users to define the personality of the AI companion, choosing from hundreds of thousands of variations and even giving it a live AI-generated voice. Users can chat unfiltered with their characters, flirt, receive selfies and videos, and create memories together. They can even further develop the AI character’s personality by adding memories.
Last year, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared loneliness a “global public health problem” that could be as damaging to people’s health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day. Among older adults, loneliness is associated with a 50% increased risk of developing dementia and a 30% increased risk of stroke.
According to a Harvard University survey, 61% of Americans aged 18-24 experience severe loneliness. Another Harvard study conducted this year suggests that interacting with AI companions reduces loneliness to the same extent as interacting with another human being. Other studies have also found that AI companions can help in the development of social and emotional skills.
Mark Studholme, co-founder of Avatar.One and Matrix One, said: “I imagine a future where every living person can have an AI character that they define. These AI characters can help them with everyday tasks, whether it’s reminding them of their mother’s birthday, watching Netflix (NASDAQ:) with them on the couch, or even doing their taxes.”
The loneliness epidemic is a major problem. But with the rise of AI technology and its pace of development, it is possible to build a future where everyone has a full-time 3D companion to help them with everything from conversations to cooking tips, reminders about important events, tax filing, financial management, and more. The quality of the chat experience is constantly improving and becoming more capable of emulating real human interactions as AI models become more refined.
Avatar.One is powered by the custom decentralized Matrix One protocol, which features a character studio, avatar creator, and an extensive LLM library. Using this technology, 3D AI characters can be integrated with game engines such as Unreal, Unity, and Three.js. Matrix One enables fully animated AI-powered characters to be distributed across many different mediums, including the web, mobile, VR, AR, and more. As a result, all avatars can be downloaded for use in over 200 games and apps.
Avatar.One prioritizes user security and privacy. All user interactions and data are stored in an SSH-encrypted database and kept confidential, never to be shared with third parties. It also uses passwordless authentication to ensure that a user's password cannot be stolen.
The user growth milestone comes as Matrix.One prepares for its upcoming token generation event (TGE) on Polkastarter, Seedify, and ChainGPT in the weeks leading up to the token’s listing on centralized exchanges. The $MATRIX token enables staking and transaction within the Matrix One network, allowing users to access, create, and interact with AI characters, as well as granting holders governance rights.
Avatar.One is available to anyone over 18 who feels AI companions can ease their loneliness. The platform plans to make characters available on-chain soon, allowing users to own their character and their interaction history.
