AI Worldbuilding Studio · Paris · Worldwide

We build AI-native universes. Not campaigns. Not dashboards. Worlds.

For music labels, indie game studios, premium brands and IP owners. We design the canon, the voices, the 3D, the agents and the production pipeline — and we ship it.

Why a world is not a product

Different success criteria. Different stack.

A world demands what a product doesn't. Coherence over usability. Canon over iteration. Depth over conversion.

A product

is used.

A world

is inhabited.

A product

needs to be intuitive.

A world

needs to be coherent.

A product

is shipped once and iterated.

A world

is canonical — facts can't be removed without breaking the rest.

A product

is measured by conversion.

A world

is measured by depth — how far you can dig before hitting the edge.

What we build

Six disciplines, one studio.

Worldbuilding is not one craft. It's the orchestration of lore, voice, visuals, 3D, agents and curation as a single system.

Lore architecture & canon

Versioned Markdown for writers, structured DB for the runtime. A canon graph that encodes character relationships, regional politics and timeline so generative content stays internally consistent.

Character voices

Voice cloning on ElevenLabs — the provider we run on Codemachia for cloning fidelity and sub-second streaming latency. The discipline that matters more than the provider: lock voice profiles in week one, ship sentence-level streaming for long monologues, and wire voice identity to canon so any system that loads a character loads the right voice.

Generative visuals

Imagen 4 / Midjourney prompted from the lore. Every asset goes through a curation pipeline — generated visuals never bypass human approval into canon.

3D scenes

Three.js + post-processing for cinematic globes, environments and territorial maps. We deliberately avoid game engines — WebGL scales, Unity exports don't.

Narrative agents

An orchestrator coordinates per-character agents loaded with their full canon. Worker agents handle specialist jobs (consistency checks, asset generation, branching).

Canon validator & curation

A separate LLM agent flags any generated content that contradicts canon. Human curators approve before anything ships. The discipline that keeps drift a tracked metric.

The pipeline

How a fact becomes a scene.

From writer Markdown to streamed scene, every step is canon-grounded and curation-validated. Boring runtime, magical output.

Who this is for

Four kinds of clients. Real bullseye, no upsell.

We say no to projects outside this scope. AI worldbuilding is not for everyone — it's the right answer for a small set of needs.

Music labels & artists

Concept albums that ship with their own universe. Voices for fictional characters, generative visuals at scale, an interactive site fans inhabit. Aligned to release dates.

Indie game studios

Lore at scale for narrative-rich games. Hand-write the canon; the pipeline writes the surface — items, NPCs, regions, dialogues — while staying internally consistent.

Premium brands

Houses, fashion labels, hotels building a mythology bigger than a campaign. Worldbuilding is what differentiates a brand universe from a brand activation.

Authors & small publishers

A novel that ships with a generative companion site — explore the world, talk to characters, hear the soundtrack. Niche, high-prestige, often the marketing engine of the book itself.

If you're not in one of these categories, the right answer is probably a better product, not a universe. We'll tell you so.

Engagement formats

Three packaged shapes.

Most engagements start as a prototype and roll into a bigger format. We'd rather under-scope the entry point and earn the rest.

Entry point

Prototype universe

4 weeks

~30-50K€

Validate the concept and pitch the rest of the production internally. Enough to demo, not enough to launch.

  • 1 canonical character + voice profile
  • 1 interactive scene
  • Lore graph for 3-5 regions
  • Stack & curation tooling handover
Most picked

Launch-ready

Full world

8-12 weeks

~110-200K€

The bundle that ships alongside an album, an IP launch, or a brand campaign. Production-grade and curated.

  • Full main cast (5-7 characters) + voices
  • 3D scene + 20-40 narrative beats
  • Generative visual library (curated)
  • Canon validator + curation tooling

Ongoing

Live-operated universe

ongoing

€15-40K / month

The world keeps growing. New characters, new arcs, new content — under our curation discipline, on a defined cadence.

  • Defined monthly content cadence
  • Model swaps & pipeline evolution
  • Asset & lore curation
  • Monitoring + community signal review

Custom scopes welcome. These are the most common shapes — your mileage will vary based on cast size, scene count and live cadence.

Codemachia — flagship AI worldbuilding case study

Flagship · in production · expanding

Codemachia — a mythological AI universe.

Eight sovereign AIs (ATHENA.VICTIS, HATHOR.∞, INTI.Δ, KARTIKEYA.X, LEGBA.ΔKRA, TEZCAT.MIRROR, UZUME.AKARI, NEITH.Ø as primordial judge) and seven champions. Read: 4 novels (~296,780 words), 46 Codex fragments, weekly diary. Listen: 4 albums (52 tracks). Play: YAMS Protocol (Yahtzee against the seven champion AIs, solo or multiplayer up to six) and a Champion-matching quiz. Bilingual EN/FR. Character voices on ElevenLabs. Interactive 3D globe + narration agent layer in development.
