AI Innovation Lab
Where fearless builders and relentless dreamers craft Novel AI x Gaming products.
If you think that it’d be hella awesome to launch a gaming product with AI for millions of users, you are one of us!
The AI Innovation Lab is exploring novel products powered by AI. We believe that the traditional definition of a game is evolving. With AI, we can create more and more gaming experiences that break down the boundaries of what we think of as a game.
What could these new gaming experiences be?
a dating sim with AI powered companions
an RPG with an AI-powered vast open world
new social media platform for gen AI content
something completely new that no one has ever seen before.
Here at Supercell, our mission has always been to create gaming products used by as many as possible and remembered forever. Join us on our mission.
