Original Abstract Submitted

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to a personalized agent service that generates and evolves customized agents that can be instantiated in-game to play with users. Machine learning models are trained to control the agent's interactions with the game environment and the user during gameplay. As the user continues to play with the agent, the one or more machine learning models develop gameplay styles for the agent that complement the user's preferred playstyle, incorporate the user's preferred strategies, and is generally customized for interaction with the user. The agent personalization data generated during gameplay is stored by the service. An application programming interface is provided by the personalized agent service. Using the API, games can import agent personalization data in order to customize in-game non-player characters (NPCs), thereby customizing the in-game NPCs in accordance with the user's preferences.
