Microsoft has been testing a brand new AI-powered Xbox chatbot, and now Xbox Insiders can attempt it out for the primary time. I completely revealed the existence of this new “Xbox Assist Digital Agent” earlier this 12 months, and Microsoft now says it’s designed “to assist Xbox gamers extra effectively resolve their support-related gaming points.”
Xbox Insiders within the US can begin making an attempt out this new Xbox AI chatbot at assist.xbox.com, and it’ll reply questions round Xbox console and sport assist points. “We worth the suggestions from Xbox Insiders for this preview expertise and any suggestions acquired shall be used to enhance the Assist Digital Agent,” says Megha Dudani, senior product supervisor lead at Xbox.
This Xbox chatbot will seem as an AI character that animates when responding, or as a colourful Xbox orb. It’s half of a bigger effort inside Microsoft to use AI to its Xbox platform and providers, forward of some AI-powered options coming to Xbox consoles quickly.
In contrast to different elements of Microsoft, Xbox has been cautious in the way it approaches AI options — regardless of a transparent mandate from CEO Satya Nadella to focus all of Microsoft’s companies round AI. Microsoft has largely targeted on the developer facet of AI instruments to date, however that’s clearly altering with the introduction of a assist chatbot.
I reported earlier this 12 months that Microsoft can be engaged on bringing AI options to sport content material creation, sport operations, and its Xbox platform and units. This consists of experimenting with AI-generated artwork and property for video games, AI sport testing, and the generative AI NPCs that Microsoft has already partnered with Inworld to develop.
