OpenCog Prime is an architecture for robot and virtual embodied cognition that defines a set of interacting components designed to give rise to human-equivalent artificial general intelligence (AGI) as an emergent phenomenon of the whole system.

Ongoing development of OpenCog is supported by Artificial General Intelligence Research Institute (AGIRI), the Google Summer of Code project, Hanson Robotics, SingularityNET and others.

Many contributions from the open source community have been made since OpenCog's involvement in the Google Summer of Code in 2008 and 2009.

Similar to other cognitive architectures, the main purpose is to create virtual humans, which are three dimensional avatar characters.

[11] The self-description of the OpenCog project provides additional possible applications which are going into the direction of natural language processing and the simulation of a dog.
