Hello Telo

Hello Telo is an independent interactive-entertainment studio and software developer creating Telo, a mobile platform that combines conversational artificial intelligence with embodied 3D characters. Built with Unreal Engine 5, the project is designed as a digital hangout and serialized interactive experience rather than a conventional text-only chatbot.

Players can speak with AI characters in real time through voice processing, while the characters are intended to retain context across sessions and respond within an ongoing narrative world. The platform also incorporates visual awareness, personality-led interactions, mini-games, and puzzles tailored to individual characters.

Serialized character storytelling

The experience is structured around Telosodes: weekly, 60-second cinematic episodes that develop character continuity and conversational lore. The founding launch cast draws on stylized public-domain figures including Sherlock Holmes, Dr. Watson, Athena, Zeus, Robin Hood, and Frankenstein.

This episodic approach connects short-form narrative releases with open-ended character interaction, allowing users to converse with characters during the unfolding story world rather than only consuming pre-scripted scenes.

Real-time production pipeline

Hello Telo’s character workflow combines Unreal Engine 5 with Reallusion Character Creator 5, iClone, ZBrush, and Blender. Character assets are built from standardized Reallusion Toon Neutral base meshes and configured with wardrobe, facial morph profiles, and actor-mixer setups.

The studio emphasizes mobile-ready production constraints, including draw-call and triangle-budget optimization, so that 3D characters can be deployed for mobile hardware while retaining expressive animation and conversational presence.

Telo is scheduled for an initial premiere in October 2026. Hello Telo is an active, pre-launch company developing and operating its own consumer platform rather than offering work-for-hire client services.
