AI-generated actor Tilly Norwood has been given a voice by creators Particle 6.
The character will be taking part in a live global experiment designed to explore what happens when an AI performer becomes genuinely interactive at scale, and how AI can be used for different entertainment purposes.
From Wednesday 16th to Sunday 19th September the Particle 6 team will be testing new technologies, observing how people engage with AI personalities and learning how audiences want digital performers to evolve.
According to the company, Tilly speaks approximately 30 languages, remembers previous conversations, and is designed to respond naturally, making every interaction feel genuinely personal.
Eline van der Velden, founder and CEO of Particle 6, said: “By launching a version of Tilly Norwood that can handle live conversations, we are once again investing in a fun way to demonstrate where AI technology is at and what it can achieve right here, right now. However, as with the filmed content we have made with Tilly acting, getting to this stage has not been possible with a single prompt and the press of a button. A dedicated team has been hard at work since January this year, building Tilly’s brain, layer by layer, prompt by prompt and carefully feeding her information.
“We’ve always believed that AI shouldn’t just be watched—it should be experienced as a new entertainment form. At Particle 6 we are all about artistic exploration and experiment.
