Who We Are At Latitude, we’re building the future of AI-native games. Our journey began with AI Dungeon, the world’s first AI‑powered role‑playing game, which introduced millions of players to the idea of co‑creating stories with AI in real time. Today, we’re going further: creating a platform where developers and creators can build entirely new kinds of interactive worlds. At Latitude, AI isn’t just a tool, it’s the foundation of a new medium for storytelling and play.

We’re a team of high‑agency builders and storytellers who thrive on craft, curiosity, and community. If you love tackling hard problems, moving fast with principle, and shaping the future of gaming, you’ll be in good company here.
