It's used in games, e-learning, healthcare, sales training and emergency response, wherever a conversation has too many branches to write as a plain script. [Video: ChatMapper overview](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFv-4Xjok_E) ## Background We had used ChatMapper for our dialogues since our first project, [Virtual Home Visit](https://jfcampos.dev/projects/virtual-home-visit.md). In 2015 we acquired its company, Urban Brain Studios, and brought ChatMapper into [Hyperspace](https://jfcampos.dev/projects/hyperspace.md). From then on, our clients could write the dialogue and build the 3D experience around it with the same tools. Even after years of working with AI agents, I still design character dialogues with ChatMapper in mind. More about why in [AI and LLM](https://jfcampos.dev/expertise/ai-llm.md#chat-mapper). ## My involvement - Led technical due diligence on the acquisition. - Built the browser-based player so authors could preview their dialogues without leaving the editor. - Wrote the exporters and importers that integrated ChatMapper conversations into our 3D experience platform. - Owned maintenance and support initially; wrote the documentation and runbooks that let other specialists take over. --- Web page:
