I am thinking in using convai to manage an VR AI npc of a cat. Have anyone made anything alike? I would love to hear some cases before investing time and money onto this service.

TIA

Hello,

**Welcome to the Convai Developer Forum!**

Yes, you can definitely use Convai for that. There are examples of similar use cases, and you can also check the #Made With Convai category for sample projects from the community.

Convai does not have a limitation on the visual type of the character. You can use a custom character, a cat, a cube, or even an empty object. If you want to use lip sync, your character will need to have the required blendshapes.
