Unique Personalized Concurrent User Sessions

[exar]

Hello,

I am using Unity 6 and considering a solution similar to @VRSIM_Developers post

Creating unique Convai characters for each concurrent user

I’ll start with what I’m trying to do and then ask if my proposed solution would work. I have a Convai character, named Claire. I’d like her to hold onto unique information based on the current session but also not have that unique information be uploaded to her main character ID. So that if multiple players are interacting with a different instance of Claire, they all don’t get each players unique information. So with that in mind, the idea would be to use the Character Base API to clone the …

I estimate to have at least 20 unique users interacting simultaneously with the Convai Avatar and choosing a subscription plan with either 1 or 3 or 15 concurrency limit, there are challenges on how to address concurrent and unique user personalized interactions. How can these issues be addressed without a higher subscription plan?

Thank you!

Hello @exar,

If your users are not sending requests to the character simultaneously, you shouldn’t encounter any issues with the current concurrency limit. However, if simultaneous interactions are required, the only way to handle this properly is by upgrading your plan to increase the concurrency limit. Unfortunately, there are no alternative options to bypass this limitation.

Thank you for your reply.

What about implementing a custom backend queuing and session management mechanism to control concurrency, queue excess users, and manage per-user conversation sessions? Are there any examples/use cases around this or an alternative way?

The procedure could include getting active sessions and if more than the maximum concurrent allowed limit, send notification to user to wait, otherwise allow the user to interact with the AI avatar, checking frequently if the number of active sessions has been reduced. When that occurs, allow afterwards the user to interact with the avatar in a new (private) session.

Thank you!

Currently, we don’t have such a feature available. However, I’ve added your suggestion to our feature request list. Thank you for sharing this thoughtful idea!
