Cafés & kiosks
A café kiosk character that takes orders by voice
The character on the kiosk can suggest a drink for the day and take the order just as the customer says it.
An artist character that talks with every single fan
With XALIVE, an artist character talks with each fan at pop-ups and concerts, and the conversation continues on the fan’s phone. Face, voice and tone go live only after approval, and fans are always told it’s an AI character.
Could a fan talk to it without knowing it is AI?
No. People are always told it’s an AI character.
How do we keep it from saying things the artist would not say?
Face, voice and tone go live only after approval. Set the off-limits topics upfront and it stays away from them, and you can make changes right away after launch.
Can it be based on a real person?
Yes. An artist, executive or staff member becomes a character from an approved photo and voice.
Can it continue earlier conversations?
With fans who have agreed, it can continue the last conversation. Nothing is stored without consent.
Can it be used in live streams?
Yes. In a 24/7 AI live stream, it can answer chat messages by voice.

Frequently asked questions
What is XALIVE?
XALIVE is an AI character platform that brings characters to life. Your company’s character talks with people on store screens, kiosks and smartphones, greets them first and, with consent, remembers past conversations.
Can we start without a character?
Yes. Use an existing character, have XRX design a new one, or turn a real person into a digital human from one approved photo.
Where can it run?
On most screens you already have: store kiosks, signage, pop-up stores, airport and hotel information desks, office lobbies, vehicles, smartphones and websites.
How long does it take to launch?
Start small with one character in one place. Once the brief and materials are ready, you usually meet your first customers within about 4 weeks. At the fastest, it can be ready within a week (minimum setup). The timeline depends on your materials and requests.
Are conversations and personal data kept safe?
It remembers only what people agree to, and face, voice and tone go live only after the rights holder approves. People are always told it’s an AI character.

XRX: an AI & XR company that expands real-world experiences
XRX is a US company that expands real-world experiences through AI and XR. At our development studio in Korea, we build XALIVE, the engine that brings characters to life.
Our team
Our team brings together specialists with more than 20 years of experience, on average, in AI, games and XR. Over many years, we have built games, immersive experiences and intelligent systems that engage with people in real time. We have used technology to design the moment when a character feels truly alive.
What we value
XRX began with a single conviction. It is the belief that AI is far more useful to people when it can keep its identity and carry forward the memories it shares with them.
Depth in relationships
We believe ten shallow relationships do not add up to one deep one.
A character that stays itself
No one can build a relationship with a character that changes from day to day. The organizations and creators behind a character set its personality, voice and boundaries, and we keep them consistent wherever and whenever it appears.
Respect for people
We value knowing when not to speak as much as speaking first.
Honesty
We do not present ourselves as further along than we are. We keep a record of the problems we have not yet solved, rather than hiding them.
The service we are building
Characters greet people across diverse environments and devices, speak first, and remember the conversation. We aim to provide a service that goes beyond a single experience and helps visitors and users build a deeper relationship with the character.
Partnership proposals
If you are interested in growing a business with us, or in business or investment opportunities, we welcome your proposal. We look forward to meeting good partners and growing together.
