AI for Off-Platform Game Engagement and Monetization

Executive Summary

TokenMinds has helped Project J grow off-platform engagement and monetization. The project’s community channels showed low engagement. Promotions in chat lacked context, so clickthrough and purchases lagged. We proposed adding an AI layer that brings the NPC characters alive and keeps them interactive with players in Discord and Telegram. It serves players with offers that are tailored to their gameplays and purchase behaviors at the right moment and learns from conversations to improve timing and iterate to its perfection. Everything runs under brand control & integrates through simple endpoints.

Key developments we can deliver: 

• Off-game NPC chats that increase daily interactions and repeat logins.

• Context-aware offers in chat with clear checkout paths and conversion tracking.

• Player-voice analytics that refine offer timing, copy, and product updates.

Project J

Industry: Gaming

Focus: Off-platform engagement & monetization 

Client’s Objective

Build an AI layer that extends engagement beyond the game and improves conversions in community channels. The solution should:

• Keep NPC characters active in Discord/Telegram to sustain story continuity and drive return logins.

• Serve context-aware item offers in chat with clear paths to purchase and conversion tracking.

• Turn chat into voice-of-the-player analytics to guide content and monetization decisions.

Client’s Challenges

• Low off-platform activity

Community chat becomes quiet. The story is interrupted when players leave the game, which has a negative impact on repeat logins. 

• Generic offers

Promotions are not tailored to the context or tone within the gameplay of each player, resulting in low click-through and purchase rates.

• Weak commerce flow & tracking

The chat does not have a clear link to the checkout process and reliable conversion tracking.

• Slow feedback loop from player voice

The team cannot convert chats into sentiment analysis and feature insights timely.
