Step into the future of simulation.

On August 5, 2025, DeepMind raised the bar for AI-powered world modelling with the launch of Genie 3—an advanced platform capable of generating dynamic, immersive worlds in real-time. What sets Genie 3 apart is its ability to deliver visually stunning, interactive 3D environments, transforming not just entertainment and education, but also possibly holding promise for business use in various ways.

What Makes Genie 3 Special?

Dynamic Real-Time Worlds:

Genie 3 generates fluid, interactive 3D environments at 24 frames per second, allowing for several minutes of seamless, high-resolution engagement (up to 720p).

Consistency and Resolution:

Every simulation holds its visual thread—maintaining coherence even as scenarios branch and evolve, enabling meaningful, repeatable interactions that could be used for training and service applications in future.

  • It models physical properties such as natural phenomena, enhancing realism.
  • It supports complex environmental interactions, as can be seen in various simulated scenarios.

Current Limitations

  • Limited action space: AI agents can only perform a narrow set of direct actions; environmental prompts must handle many interventions.
  • Complex agent interaction is challenging: Simulating natural, multi-AI agent interactions in shared worlds remains a research hurdle.
  • No accurate real-world location rendering: Genie 3 cannot precisely model or visualise real geographic locations.
  • Text rendering depends on environment: Clear, readable in-world text appears only if included in the scenario’s description.
  • Short interaction duration: Continuous interactions are limited to a few minutes, not prolonged sessions.

While these limitations still exist, they make most real-world practical applications, especially in contact centres, still only something of the future. But let's explore...

Why It Could Matter for Contact Experience Centres of the Future

As we explore these potential applications, it's important to note that these represent forward-looking opportunities rather than immediate implementations. The following use cases illustrate how Genie's capabilities could reshape contact centre operations and customer experiences in the coming years, offering a glimpse into what might become possible as this technology matures and integrates with existing systems.

1. Immersive Scenario-Based Training

  • How it could likely work: Genie-based applications could enable contact centres to create truly experiential training programs. Rather than static “3D offices,” the model could craft evolving, realistic universes tailored to different support channels. Advisors interact with AI-driven customer voices and chat avatars, each reacting in real time—mirroring the unpredictability and pace of any live contact centre floor.
  • Practical Scenario: Think of new hires navigating a week’s worth of simulated AI calls—complete with authentic sounds, shifting moods, and live feedback—or chat trainees handling bursts of simultaneous conversations with ever-changing customer needs. These immersive scenarios build Advisor confidence and adaptability, fast.
  • Potential Value: It’s the “flight simulator” of customer service—preparing teams for peak periods, new product launches, or even crisis events in vivid, memorable ways.

2. Predictive Modellingcentre: Simulate Customer Journey Maps Within Virtual Scenarios

  • How it could likely work: Genie enables complete, interactive simulations of customer journeys, mapping out how real actions and reactions ripple through a contact centre—across all channels, from phone to chat, email to social.
  • Practical Scenario: Agents can act out a high-value customer’s week: resolving billing, upselling products, or handling a complaint. Every decision morphs the customer’s loyalty and sentiment, visualised across branching paths with data-driven feedback woven in.
  • Potential Value: This level of insight empowers teams to refine their tactics, understand the true impact of every interaction, and align strategies with live customer expectations—not just theory.

3. Enhanced Customer Engagement: Live, Interactive Visualisations for Troubleshooting and Support

  • How it could likely work: Genie 3 upgrades static FAQs and help docs to interactive, visual-first support. Customers (and agents) can literally see their product or service in 3D, interact with dynamic process maps, and experience animated troubleshooting.
  • Practical Scenario: A customer struggling with device setup is greeted by an interactive model highlighting each part in sync with step-by-step instructions. If escalation is needed, the agent can co-navigate the same visualisation, resolving the issue together.
  • Potential Value: This approach fast-tracks problem solving, reduces frustration, and turns customer support into a brand-differentiating digital experience.
Tracked Training: Enhancing Training Program Oversight with Generative AI
Step away from tedious training reviews. In today’s AI-driven contact centre, the old manual approach is holding you back. AI is already raising the bar for consistency, speed, and results—it’s time to train smarter and let technology do the heavy lifting.
