Genies Chat is a 3D animated IP character AI chat platform by Genies Inc. Unlike text-only chatbots, its AI characters appear as fully animated 3D avatars with real-time facial expressions, tone variation, and body language. In Q1 2026, it signed three major IP deals: all active MLB players (Feb 2026), NBPA/NBA players (Mar 2026), and Sanrio (Hello Kitty, My Melody, Kuromi, and 400+ characters, Mar 2026). Positioned as the 'visual and embodiment layer for AI', it offers Avatar SDK and Art Forge SDK for third-party developers to embed AI characters into their own apps. Covered by Forbes and Axios as a landmark case of fandom economy meets AI. Access at genies.com/chat.
Background
Genies Inc. is a US-based company focused on digital identity and AI characters, building on prior avatar creation business. In Q1 2026, the company pivoted to IP-licensed AI character chat, signing three major partnerships with MLB, NBA, and Sanrio in rapid succession. Covered by Forbes and Axios.
Technology
Fully animated 3D AI characters with real-time facial expressions, tone variation, and body language — an experience closer to FaceTime than text chat. Avatar SDK and Art Forge SDK enable third-party platforms to embed AI characters into their own apps for cross-platform interoperability. Long-term memory allows characters to recall past conversation details. Imagine creative engine supports user-designed custom 3D wearables and digital fashion.
Market
Signed three major IP deals in Q1 2026: MLB (all active players), NBA (Players Association), and Sanrio (400+ characters) (Forbes, Axios). Access at genies.com/chat. Positioned as entertainment AI for Gen Z/Gen Alpha, not productivity. SDK strategy positions it as a potential cross-platform AI character infrastructure layer.
