Use case

AI Gaming Characters.

NPCs, teammates, opponents: characters with social lives that speak first, see what you do, and remember you.

Without Humalike

Game AI is on rails.

NPCs greet you the same way after you saved or burned the village. Teammates either spam the chat or stay silent. The world doesn't react because characters can't carry state.

With Humalike

A world that reacts to you.

Characters with social lives. They remember the last quest, read the squad, hold opinions about you. The blacksmith's wife has heard about you.

What it needs to work

The behaviors this use case actually requires.

An LLM alone gets you part of the way. The rest is behavioral — and that's the layer that decides whether the product feels human or wrong.
