How Matrix Labs is Integrating AI into Matrix World
WORLD3
As the use of artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly more popular in everyday life, Matrix World aims to stand at the forefront of this emerging technology, pushing the boundaries of what an interactive metaverse can be.
UoA Receptionist AI ChatBot
The founders of Matrix World, Matrix Labs, have an extensive academic background in AI, with both master’s and Ph.D. degrees in computer science.
While there has been a recent uptick in interest in general-use AI applications like ChatGPT, Matrix Labs was already developing products to enhance internal workflow efficiency and user experience. Their initiatives included automating routine development tasks, documentation summarization and organization, and fraud detection using pattern recognition and anomaly detection.
Thanks to recent advancements in AI infrastructure from third-party services and open-source resources, the team can extend and customize their current solutions at a faster rate.
We continuously monitor the AI landscape, adjusting our workflows and product offerings to ensure Matrix World stays ahead of the curve, delivering the most cutting-edge AI and web3 experiences for our users.

With user experience and keeping at the forefront of emerging technological advancements as top priorities, Matrix World doesn’t aim to incorporate AI just for the sake of having AI. Instead, it’s to plan ahead, considering how AI can enhance or improve the user experience in ways not yet seen in the industry.
One way this can be utilized is through immersive storytelling that adapts and evolves alongside the project and its audience. This offers users an opportunity to engage in ways they’ve never experienced before. They might choose to challenge it, cooperate with it, or even canonize their adventures. Our goal is for the AI to be as lifelike as possible, with desires and needs that motivate players to explore new avenues, free from the static, repetitive prompts typically found in standard Non-playable characters (NPC) — which we will also incorporate.
AI can push conversations forward that other humans, who don’t have the patience for it or have other objectives, just won’t do. The metaverse is going to feel awkward for some folks. AI can help them feel more at home.

Models for the new Matrix & Flow chatbots — Subject to change.
In an upcoming release accessible to landowners, the team will unveil an AI receptionist feature for the Flow network, University of Alberta, and Matrix World. This feature harnesses the capabilities of Large Language Model (LLM) chatbot services, each specifically tailored to respond to inquiries based on customized knowledge sets. Subsequent to this, in a future public release, we aim to integrate AI NPCs to ensure a welcoming first experience for users, regardless of their prior metaverse or web3 experience.
Custom ChatBot workflow
As shown above, the custom ChatBot is provided with curated online references that are then scraped for data to create a semantic index and linked to the original resources. The user can then ask the ChatBot any questions related to the topic and will receive a curated response.
The same ChatBot technology was recently presented to the University of Alberta executives, tailored specifically for the needs of their Computer Science department within our newly developed ‘University Park’. For more information on this demonstration and the vision for University Park, please refer to our article on Medium.
As the team pushes forward to create a metaverse that is welcoming to the masses and engages in unseen ways, we are focused on using AI to foster an organic experience that encourages participation. We strongly believe that the role of AI will extend beyond non-playable characters, and our team is leveraging its expertise and experience to reach this goal. We can’t wait for our users to enter the world and truly experience the power of AI.
About Matrix World
Matrix World, inaugurated in 2021 by its parent company Matrix Labs, stands as one of the first multichain metaverses of its kind. Matrix World was conceived with a focus on accessibility, therefore not confining developers and end-users to a single blockchain. Each parcel is powered by its unique computational capabilities and storage resources, giving users complete control over what is constructed and the lifecycle of the objects on their land. In February 2022, Matrix World successfully secured $5.5M from 17 investors during an angel-round funding at a $50M valuation, thereby strengthening the growth and development of the Matrix World project.
