So, what exactly is the Holoworld AI platform?
Holoworld: A Customizable Virtual Life
Holoworld is a sub-brand launched by Hologram, a virtual character company. Before the generative AI boom, Hologram used VR+AR technology to create 3D virtual avatars for video and content creation platforms—for example, customizing virtual personas (Vtubers) for YouTubers.
At that time, Hologram relied primarily on pre-set interaction scripts and basic rules to construct virtual characters. Their behaviors were manually programmed behind the scenes, unable to achieve high-level intelligent interactions or emotional simulation.
With the wave of AI innovation, Hologram identified a new direction in AI-powered virtual characters and launched Holoworld AI—an application-layer project integrating natural language processing, machine learning, and behavioral simulation technologies. This empowers virtual characters with advanced intelligence and interactivity, delivering next-level user experiences.
For instance, Holoworld can generate personalized AI bots trained on historical content from linked X accounts—essentially creating virtual characters with which users can directly interact.
According to the latest snapshot, the platform has over 900,000 registered users, more than 130,000 active wallet addresses, over 60 Holo AI Bot creations, and over 1.6 million on-chain transactions.
Team and Funding Background
Hologram’s founding team is diverse, with members from renowned companies and institutions such as Meta, AWS, 0x Labs, Bridgewater, Disney, the University of Pennsylvania, MIT, and UCLA.
In July 2022, Hologram raised a $6.5 million seed round led by Polychain Capital, with participation from Nascent, Inflection, and influential figures including Arthur Hayes, co-founder of BitMEX, and Domo, founder of BRC20.
Holoworld AI Store: Integrating Various Bots
Have you ever imagined conversing with your favorite anime character, a historical figure, or a modern celebrity? Or needed an assistant to弥补 shortcomings and boost productivity? Now, these imaginative ideas are closer than ever.
Holoworld has launched an AI Store where users can generate customized virtual characters. Unlike other character customization platforms, Holoworld focuses on 3D virtual companions enhanced with AI-powered “brains.” Creators can freely define an AI’s personality—whether it’s an anime character, historical figure, contemporary icon, or internet influencer—with linguistic styles and expressions closely mirroring the original. After establishing the core AI persona, users can further customize appearances using 3D modules, including clothing and accessories, making their BOTs more vivid and lifelike.
