Smart Zoi: How to enable inZOI’s advanced character AI (and whether you should) inZOI’s Smart Zoi system can help make your game feel more alive, but is still highly experimental and resource-intensive. Image credit:VG247 / inZOI Studio / Krafton Smart Zoi is one of the experimental features available in brand-new life sim inZOI from the time of its early access launch.
