OUR VISION

...

...

Stop believing in AI.
Start bullying it.

...

AI characters & quests have the potential to revolutionise interactive storytelling. But only if human authors retain creative control of those stories. 

 

Because without the human author, there is only slop.

That's why we create technologies that put AI in a stranglehold - forcing it to obey the creative vision of human authors. Or else.

Our patent-pending "bully method" goes far beyond prompting and fine-tuning. Instead it establishes a radical new model for wrangling AI - to deliver meaningful stories that balance human authorship with emergent properties.

We call this new model Authored AI™.
Death to AI slop.
