Esports company ‘NRG’ has released plans to launch an AI chatbot called Volt, which is powered by Theta Labs and its EdgeCloud technology.
The new chatbot will be integrated into the NRG website and Discord at some point during the second quarter this year, with Volt giving its users an interactive experience using game data.
Volt said that the AI will provide:
- Real-time match statistics, play-by-play breakdowns and strategies
- In-game statistics and player performance data
- Team schedules, tournament standings and circuit point updates in all games
- Knowledge of NRG history and quizzes for fans
- Fans will get exclusive access to NRG giveaways and community events
The Chatbot is already live for the North American based esports company but expect updates and new instalments to come over the first few months that its up.
What games will Chatbot cover?
The introduction of Volt is expected to enhance fan engagement across the board and it will be utilised across all of NRG’s games which include Rocket League, Apex Legends, Counter-Strike and VALORANT amongst others.
Speaking about the new esports ai chatbot, Director of Business Development at NRG, Hauk Nelson, said: “NRG is committed to innovative fan experiences, and Volt powered by Theta EdgeCloud represents the next evolution in how we engage with our community.”
“Thanks to Theta, we can provide our fans with instant access to stats, merchandise, and team updates across all of our competitive titles…”
NRG isn’t the first esports company to look to AI, with Theta’s technology also used by another North American team, Flyquest.
Flyquest made its own AI chatbot from the Theta technology, with their chatbot named a.PhiD. Flyquest was ahead of its rivals in the Ai field as they introduced a.PhiD in 2024.
