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.
A brand character that says hello first at the store entrance
With XALIVE, the character on your store screen greets passing customers first and guides them to the products they want and the events you are running. You can start by adding a microphone and a small webcam to the kiosk or TV you already have.
Does the conversation start even if the customer does not touch the screen?
Yes. When someone steps up to the screen, the character says hello first. The customer simply answers by voice.
What can the character help with in a store?
It can guide customers to the products they are looking for and to the events you are running. On a café kiosk it can suggest a drink and take the order by voice. Connected to your ordering or booking system, customers can order during the conversation.
Can it run on the kiosk or TV we already have?
Kiosks and TVs only need a microphone and a small webcam. You also need a regular PC and an internet connection. No high-end graphics card (GPU) is required.
Can it continue the conversation when a customer comes back?
When a customer who has agreed comes back, it can pick up where the last conversation ended. Nothing is stored without the customer’s consent. Memory depends on customer consent and project design.
How do we keep the character from saying the wrong thing?
Tell us what not to talk about, and it stays away from it. Everything is reviewed before launch, and you can make changes right away after it goes live.

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.
