"Death to AI SLOP!"
We create premium, author-driven AI characters – that can play meaningful roles in the stories and objectives of their human creators.
We bring these characters to our own games – and to creatively-led studios that trade on the quality of their storytelling.
We put a premium on “directorial control”, developing technologies that go above and beyond AI model-tuning and prompting. These include Conversation Director and EmRAG™ - our patent-pending system for managing emergent world building in AI-powered games.
Founded by award-winning game designer Thomas Keane, and conversational AI technologist Ben Ackland, we’re a team of engineers, researchers, and creatives who passionately believe in the potential of Authored AI™.
The advent of generative AI has the potential to kickstart a golden age of creative experimentation – but only if creative people remain at the helm. We’re here to fly the flag for Authored AI™, and inspire creatively-led game studios to join us on this journey.
