Saga and etermax launch Willy AI agent to drive Trivia Crack user acquisition

Saga and etermax have launched an AI agent based on Willy, the character from Trivia Crack, the world's most-played trivia game with 150 million annual users. The AI agent is designed to engage users across social platforms like Instagram and X to drive community engagement and game installs. Rather than functioning as an in-game feature, Willy operates as an interactive companion that can chat about any topic, post on social accounts, and guide users towards downloading the game or purchasing in-game assets. The initiative aims to address rising user acquisition costs for mobile studios by creating a persistent, character-driven presence on social platforms. Built on Saga's hyperscaling infrastructure, the AI agent uses proprietary training models combining large and small language models to create character-specific interactions.
