What is Bitpart AI?
Bitpart AI is an end-to-end AI character engine designed for creating living virtual worlds, dynamic cutscenes, and cinematic previsualization. The platform provides embodied, world-aware NPCs (called Archetypes) with memories, affinities, interruptible behaviors, and customizable personalities, all orchestrated by an AI Director called Aesop for multi-agent interactions. Bitpart is built for game studios and creators across games, film/animation/TV, industrial training, and commercial applications.
The platform features fully functional Archetypes that come out-of-the-box with animation, dialogue, behaviors, and placeholder props. Key technologies include the Coppola web-based authoring tool for non-technical team members to create dialogue and physical behaviors without coding, Rehearsal for text-based simulation to prototype gameplay 50% faster, and Script-to-Scene for instant cinematics from text scripts. The SDK integrates deeply with Unreal 5, Unity, and Roblox, with custom in-engine editors and a growing content library of game-ready Actions, Props, and Archetypes.
Bitpart runs entirely locally on PC or console as a C++ library compiled into the game's codebase, requiring no cloud connection. This eliminates runtime server costs, connectivity risks, and network latency. The tool is ideal for game developers, narrative designers, animators, film producers, and enterprises creating digital twins or soft skills training simulations.

Frequently asked questions about Bitpart AI
What is Bitpart AI?
Bitpart AI is an end-to-end AI character engine for creating living virtual worlds, dynamic cutscenes, and cinematic previsualization. It provides embodied, world-aware characters with memories, affinities, interruptible behaviors, and customizable personalities, orchestrated by an AI Director for multi-agent interactions. The platform includes SDKs and in-engine editors for Unreal, Unity, and Roblox.
What are Archetypes?
Archetypes are fully functional, out-of-the-box intelligent NPCs that come with everything needed including animation, dialogue, behaviors, and placeholder props. They are world-aware, ready to interact with props, furniture, players, and other Archetypes. Add them to your game in minutes without AI expertise or coding.
What is Aesop?
Aesop is Bitpart's AI Director powered by a fast, powerful multi-agent and multi-modal HTN (Hierarchical Task Network) planner. It orchestrates behaviors and dialogue for groups of Archetypes called Casts. Aesop leverages four types of long-term memory: Procedural, Semantic, Emotional, and Episodic memory to make nuanced decisions about character actions.
Does Bitpart require cloud connection?
No. Aesop and the Bitpart SDK run entirely locally on PC or console as a C++ library compiled into your game's codebase. There is no cloud connection, no runtime server costs, no risk of connectivity problems, and no network latency.
What game engines does Bitpart support?
Bitpart has SDKs for Unreal, Unity, and Roblox, with deep Unreal 5 integration including custom UIs in the Unreal Editor. The SDK works seamlessly with Unreal features like Navmesh, Behavior Trees, Animation Choosers, Smart Objects, and Gameplay Ability System. Source is available for proprietary engines through studio partnerships.
Do I need programming skills to use Bitpart?
No AI expertise or coding is required to use Bitpart Archetypes. The web-based Coppola platform enables creative, non-technical team members like Narrative Designers and Animators to author dialogue and physical behaviors using intuitive text-based tools without code or diagrams.
What is Rehearsal?
Rehearsal is Bitpart's text-based simulation tool that lets you test and iterate on gameplay quickly before building the complete 3D world. It cuts prototyping and preproduction timelines by 50%. The exact same Bitpart content that runs in Rehearsal will also run in Unreal, Unity, and beyond.
What is Script-to-Scene?
Script-to-Scene lets you import text scripts and see real-time animated scenes in minutes. Cast Bitpart characters who understand props and environment, know how to navigate the set, and express emotions with facial animation and body language. Adjust character behaviors, animations, audio, effects, and camera angles in real-time.
What industries can use Bitpart?
Bitpart serves creators in Games (automate emergent NPC behaviors and dialogue), Film/Animation/TV (reduce time turning ideas into animated sequences), Industrial (soft skills training, digital twins, scenario simulation), and Commercial (AI-powered digital personas for customer engagement and education).
How do I get started with Bitpart?
Download and install the Bitpart SDK Alpha from Fab. The plugin includes sample actions, animations, and props to get started. Once installed, download any Archetypes to instantly populate your world with lifelike characters.
