About the series
LEVEL//UP AI
A live-build event series for AI × gaming.
The format
LEVEL//UP AI is a virtual event series where one builder sits down with a single goal: take an AI game character from an empty file to a living NPC in one live session. Working memory that holds up five minutes later, a personality that isn't a preset, and interaction that isn't a dialogue tree. Built in front of you, with real bugs and real trade-offs. If you've ever wondered what it takes to make an NPC that remembers what you said, this is your front-row seat.
Why we don't rehearse
A rehearsed demo teaches you what the presenter wants you to see. A live build teaches you what actually happens. Bugs, hallucinations, and frame drops are part of the curriculum, and they're exactly what you'll hit when you try this yourself.
Beyond Episode 001
This is an ongoing series. Each episode gets a fresh crew, a fresh constraint, and a fresh game idea. Episode 001 is the first; future episodes follow the same config-driven setup, just new people and new problems.
