Merging esports and AI in an modern manner, US esports group Cloud9 has partnered with web3 infrastructure supplier Theta Community.
By way of this partnership, Cloud9 and Theta will develop Nimbus, a Cloud9-branded AI chatbot that provides real-time event updates, workforce stats, and personalised insights throughout Discord and Cloud9’s platforms.
Nimbus may also be built-in with Club9’s loyalty program, rewarding customers with XP for his or her interactions with the chatbot. By contributing with significant engagement, customers can progress towards unique rewards and advance to deeper layers within the Club9 ecosystem.
Nimbus is predicted to launch someday in 2025.
Cloud9 co-founder and CEO Jack Etienne commented, “Cloud9 has always been at the forefront of innovation in the esports industry. This partnership with Theta Network allows us to deliver something truly unique for our fans, an AI-powered experience that not only informs but engages, creating more meaningful ways for fans to interact with Cloud9.”
Theta Labs co-founder and CEO Mitch Liu commented, “Esports fans are some of the most engaged and analytical audiences in the world – they dive deep into stats, study strategies, and live for those real-time match moments. With Cloud9’s new AI conversational agent running on our edge computing network and integrated into Club9 fan loyalty program, we’re creating technology that truly respects that depth of engagement.”
The transfer follows different esports groups integrating a few of their operations with blockchain, together with Workforce Liquid with Sui, and Ninjas in Pyjamas partnering with Chiliz’s Socios platform.
