What Is Laika?

Laika est un studio de technologie créative qui conçoit des outils basés sur l'IA pour les écrivains, les artistes et les conteurs. Axé sur le jeu, la narration et l'expérimentation, Laika crée des environnements d'écriture interactifs et des moteurs narratifs qui incitent les utilisateurs à penser, écrire et créer de nouvelles façons. Le studio allie 25 ans d'expérience en développement de jeux vidéo à des technologies de pointe en apprentissage automatique pour réinventer la création narrative à l'ère numérique.

A Home for Creative Technologists

Laika is not just a tool—it’s a playground for people who think deeply about creativity. Its offerings range from professional-grade AI writing platforms to poetic experimental experiences. Whether you're a professional writer, game designer, or curious tinkerer, Laika offers a suite of tools designed to support storytelling as a collaborative act between human and machine.

Core Tools by Laika

Write with Laika

«Write with Laika» is the studio’s flagship product—a customizable large language model environment fine-tuned for professional writers. Built to function like a virtual writers' room, it enables real-time idea development, dialogue iteration, and narrative structuring. It serves as a collaborative partner for everything from screenplays to speculative fiction.

The Writers Room (Retired)

Auparavant espace de co-écriture virtuel, The Writers Room permettait aux utilisateurs d'échanger des idées avec une IA réactive. Bien qu'actuellement fermé en raison du changement d'orientation de Laika, il a jeté les bases des orientations futures du studio, plaçant la collaboration et le flux créatif au cœur de sa philosophie de conception.

Narrative and Experimental Engines

Moteur dramatique

The Drama Engine is Laika’s narrative framework that simulates dynamic storytelling through character agents and procedural narrative. Designed for game designers and interactive storytellers, it orchestrates evolving relationships and conflicts, offering a new way to build living, reactive narratives.

Ephemeral Writing

This web-based tool generates delightful, fleeting texts using procedural algorithms. It’s designed for writers and readers looking for inspiration, surprise, and creative play. The tool challenges traditional storytelling with writing that is more about the moment than permanence.

Experimental Experiences

96 yeux

Encore en développement, 96eyes associe IA et divination pour créer une interaction personnelle et mystique. Il reflète l'engagement de Laika à créer des expériences numériques profondes qui explorent l'identité, le hasard et l'inconnu grâce à la technologie.

Tiphareth et VITRIOL

Tiphareth reimagines tarot through the lens of GPT-2 fine-tuning, blending ancient symbolism with modern generative text. VITRIOL, created in collaboration with Broken Rules, turns an alchemical crossword puzzle into an unfolding story—part game, part literary experience.

Education and Community

Talks and Workshops

Laika regularly shares its creative research through public talks and workshops. Focused on playful, responsible AI use, these sessions introduce writers, artists, and technologists to new modes of digital creativity. Thousands have participated in Laika-led sessions that demystify AI tools and invite participants to experiment boldly.

Spacedog Chronicles

The studio’s newsletter, Spacedog Chronicles, offers reflections on creativity, technology, and storytelling. It captures Laika’s evolving thoughts on how to be imaginative and human in a world increasingly shaped by machines.

Philosophy and Vision

Tools, Toys, and Games

Laika blurs the line between utility and play. Every product is made to fit naturally into users’ lives—whether as a tool for productivity or as a toy for curiosity. Their creations are meant to be used, explored, and loved—not just optimized for output.
