Digital Humans as AI Agents in Gaming, Enterprise, and Public Sector Settings
Developers, enterprises, and the public sector are exploring how generative AI can accelerate productivity, streamline content pipelines, and provide new and more engaging experiences. Whether photorealistic or stylized, creating intelligent digital humans can be challenging, especially in cases where avatar realism is required for human-like interactions and immersion. Capturing intricate human anatomy, facial expressions, and movements, as well as animating characters with natural movements and behaviors, demands sophisticated motion capture systems. Optimizing performance to ensure everything runs in real time is also computationally intensive. To address these challenges, teams are turning to generative AI to find innovative ways of creating interactive digital humans.
NVIDIA ACE is a suite of technologies designed to help developers bring digital humans to life for gaming use cases. Several ACE microservices are NVIDIA NIM? microservices—easy to deploy, highly performant, and optimized to run on NVIDIA Graphics Delivery Network (GDN), a global network of GPUs that delivers low-latency digital human processing to 100 countries, or on NVIDIA RTX? AI PCs. With individual NIM microservices, platform developers and system integrators can take portions of the ACE technology suite and incorporate them into their end-to-end platform.
To streamline the workflow, the Tokkio NVIDIA AI Blueprint enables faster development of realistic, interactive digital humans that can help scale and upskill workforces across time zones and languages. Whether building a digital healthcare concierge, a retail shopping assistant, a customer service representative, a bank teller, or a learning and development instructor, organizations can provide natural, adaptive interactions.

Harnessing AI for Real-Time Language Understanding, Speech, Animation and Graphics
Built on NVIDIA AI graphics and simulation technologies, NVIDIA ACE encompasses technology for every part of the digital human—from speech and translation to vision and intelligence, realistic animation and behavior, and lifelike appearance.
NVIDIA? Riva
Technologies that enable digital humans to understand human language, translate responses for up to 36 languages, and respond with natural responses.
NVIDIA Nemotron?
A family of large language models (LLMs) and small language models (SLMs) that provide digital humans with intelligence—capable of providing contextually aware responses for humanlike conversations.
NVIDIA Audio2Face?
Technologies that provide digital humans with dynamic facial animations and accurate lip sync. With just an audio input, a 2D or 3D avatar animates realistically.
NVIDIA RTX
A collection of rendering technologies that enable real-time path-traced subsurface scattering to simulate how light penetrates the skin and hair, giving digital humans a more realistic appearance.
Developers can leverage NVIDIA digital human technologies to build their own solutions from the ground up. Or they can use NVIDIA’s suite of domain-specific AI workflows for next-generation interactive avatars for customer service, humanoid robots for virtual factories, digital experiences in virtual presence applications, or AI non-player characters (NPCs) in gaming. Generative AI models can be both compute- and memory-intensive, and running both AI and graphics on the local system requires a powerful GPU with dedicated AI hardware. ACE is flexible, in allowing models to be run across cloud and PC, depending on ?local GPU capabilities to ensure the user gets the best experience.
"The combination of NVIDIA ACE microservices and the Inworld AI Engine enables developers to create digital characters that can drive dynamic narratives, opening new possibilities for how gamers can decipher, deduce and play."
Kylan Gibbs, CEO, Inworld AI
“Generative AI-powered characters in virtual worlds unlock various use cases and experiences that were previously impossible … Convai is leveraging NVIDIA ACE technologies such as Riva automatic speech recognition and Audio2Face to enable lifelike non-playable characters with low latency response times and high fidelity natural animation.”
Purnendu Mukherjee, Founder and CEO, Convai
Getting Started With Building Digital Humans Using Generative AI
Developers can start their journey on build.nvidia.com. Get started with NVIDIA ACE NIM by interacting with a digital human seamlessly through a web browser. Then evaluate our NIMs with an NVIDIA AI Enterprise evaluation license. Developers with an NVIDIA AI Enterprise license can download NIMs and deploy on DGX? Cloud, any cloud service provider (CSP), or private cloud.
For customers looking for an end-to-end digital human solution, reach out to NVIDIA partners that have integrated ACE microservices, including Convai, Inworld, Data Monsters, Quantiphi, UneeQ, and Top Health Tech.

Getting Started With ACE for Gaming Use Cases
The Unreal Render 5 renderer microservice showcases NPCs interacting using natural language. Developers of middleware, tools, and games can use state-of-the-art, real-time language, speech, and animation generative AI models to bring role-playing capabilities to digital characters rendered in Unreal Engine 5.
For developers using custom engines, the NVIDIA In-Game Inferencing SDK streamlines AI model deployment and integration for PC application developers. The SDK pre-configures the PC with the necessary AI models, engines, and dependencies. It orchestrates AI inference seamlessly across PC and cloud from a unified inference API. And it supports all major inference backends, across different hardware accelerators (GPU, NPU, CPU). In-Game Inferencing SDK is available in beta.
