This project is inspired by the 2023 Stanford paper “Generative Agents” outlining ideas

for populating digital lands by intelligent, human-like, avatars. The users will be able to

interact with Selkonia: watch, comment, communicate with the avatars and

finally join the AI agentic cast on stage.

Coming from the world ofentertainment , we tackle the goal as producers do.

We strive at a maximuminvolvement from the audience. Nobody walks out of a musical

singing theset. It is about the story, characters and performance.

The show must be anenticing open invitation to enter the imagined world.

The starting point is a script and characters. We use the form of

microdrama co-created with AI under a constant human supervision . We do

not produce the whole series at once. 5-10 episodes is enough to learn if

the given drama gets traction, keeping the audience retention. In the first

stage of Selkonia users are able to communicate with the characters via

chat, audio call and video call. From that interaction we learn what works

and what does not. Analytics tells us how to continue the show or kill it.

The Elisabethian theatre and sitcoms to some extent also used the live

audience feedback.

Ultimately, we will have in Selkonia four kinds of avatars:

*Sankari—human created originals

*Persona- a digitized representation of a real person

*Figura— a researched reconstruction of a historical person

*Imago— digital representation of a user, personally authorized.

The avatars will be able to do much more than play in micrograms.

They can be also influencers, teachers, game players, celebrities invited to

events, gurus, friends, advisors and much more.
