Latitude

What Latitude does

Latitude is a privately held, venture-backed game technology company that builds consumer-facing AI-native interactive fiction and role-playing platforms. Its two products — AI Dungeon (launched 2019 as the first AI-native text-adventure game) and Voyage (launched April 21, 2026 as the first AI-native RPG platform) — are powered by a proprietary deterministic orchestration layer called the World Engine, which sits atop multiple large language models to enforce persistent world state, rule consistency, memory, and player consequence across thousands of turns. The technology stack includes a custom memory and auto-summarization system, KV caching optimization, NVIDIA Blackwell deployment with NVFP4 quantization, an AI-based content moderation and auto age-rating system, and integration with six text and six image generation models.

The company serves individual consumers — tabletop RPG enthusiasts, interactive-fiction hobbyists, and user-generated-content creators — through freemium and tiered subscriptions (Journey, mid tiers reported at $15/$30/$50/month, and a new Ultimate tier at $99/month) plus consumption-based image credits. An Aura-based creator economy rewards scenario publishers, with the Aura Farming program surpassing $1M in community earnings by December 2025. Distribution is direct-to-consumer via web (latitude.io, aidungeon.com, voyage.io) and native iOS/Android apps, with a 30K+ Discord community, 8M+ registered players, 64K all-time creators, and 6.3M published scenarios.

The business has been profitable for several years on a small core team (1-10 employees) and minimal disclosed funding (~$4.05M across seed rounds). It is backed by NFX, Griffin Gaming Partners, Midjourney, Album VC, Google's AI Futures Fund, and former Roblox CBO Craig Donato (board member). Go-to-market is product-led, community-led, and direct-to-consumer, with an active streamer outreach and referral program layered on top of organic Reddit, Discord, and content-marketing channels.

Core offering

Latitude develops AI-native gaming platforms, principally AI Dungeon (an AI-driven text adventure/interactive fiction platform launched in 2019) and Voyage (an AI-native RPG platform launched April 2026). Both are powered by Latitude's proprietary "World Engine," a deterministic state-tracking system that sits atop multiple large language models to enforce game rules, persistent memory, and autonomous NPC behavior. The company sells tiered subscriptions (Journey, Mythic, Ultimate at $99/month) plus usage-based image generation credits, with one subscription unlocking premium across both products.

Product overview

Latitude operates a platform-plus-modules architecture centered on its proprietary World Engine, a multi-model AI orchestration technology that powers two consumer-facing products: AI Dungeon (the flagship AI text adventure launched in 2019 that established Latitude's user base and creator ecosystem) and Voyage (the next-generation AI-powered RPG platform launched in April 2026, featuring autonomous NPC agents, image generation, text-to-speech, and the Aura creator economy). The World Engine unifies these products by orchestrating multiple LLMs (Fable, DeepSeek, Gemma, GLM, Equinox), image models, and supporting modules including the Memory Bank / Memory System (with Auto-Summarization) and the Optimized Context / Caching layer. The Dedupe and AI-ratings systems automate content quality, and the Aura economy rewards creators — together forming a vertically integrated AI-native interactive fiction platform rather than a collection of standalone tools.
