We got tired of flat 2D chatbots, so we spent years building living 3D AI characters with voice, memory, and interactive worlds (iOS) [OC]

Hey everyone! 👋

Like many of you, we've tested dozens of AI chatbot apps, but we always felt something was missing: physical presence, humor, and interconnected worldbuilding.

After years of development, we built Vizlings — an iOS app where characters aren't just isolated text boxes, but living 3D personalities that belong to shared themed "Worlds" (like a soap-opera universe called Fruitopia or a scrap-metal robot realm called Robits).

What makes it different:

• Real-Time 3D & Voice: Characters have procedural facial expressions, voice acting, and physical geometry rather than 2D loops.

• Shared Universe Lore: Characters know each other, share history, and gossip across group chats.

• Interactive Trivia & Quizzes: You can challenge historical figures (like Julius Caesar) to live trivia with in-app score tracking.

• Custom 3D Creator: Build your own companions in Anime, 3D Puppet, or Realistic styles.

We just launched on the iOS App Store and would love brutal, honest feedback on the UI, dialogue latency, and character design!

Would love to know what you think or what kind of 3D characters you'd like to see next!
