Layer AI

Layer envisions a future where game studios of all sizes can rapidly scale their creative output without compromising the unique human artistry that defines exceptional games. We exist to amplify creativity through AI that works alongside artists, not in place of them, transforming how digital worlds and experiences are built.

Our mission is to empower game development teams by providing intelligent, flexible AI tools that seamlessly integrate into established pipelines, enabling faster production of high-quality 2D, 3D, and video content. With a focus on security, enterprise-grade compliance, and an artist-first philosophy, we are building a platform that protects creative integrity while accelerating innovation at scale.

Layer is committed to redefining game content creation for the modern era with model-agnostic technology and an open ecosystem. By partnering with professional game studios worldwide, we are crafting a future where creativity and technology converge to unlock unprecedented possibilities in interactive entertainment.

We've been watching the AI content creation space for game development closely, and Layer caught our attention for all the right reasons. This isn't another generic AI art tool trying to muscle into gaming — it's a purpose-built platform designed specifically for professional game studios who actually understand the industry's pain points.

What immediately impressed us is Layer's backing. When gaming legends like Riccardo Zacconi (King's co-founder) and Akin Babayigit from Tripledot Studios put $6.5 million behind your vision, that's not just funding — that's validation from people who've shipped games to millions of players.

The Artist-First Approach That Actually Works

Layer's "artist-first" philosophy isn't just marketing speak. We dig into a lot of AI platforms that claim to enhance creativity, but most feel like they're trying to replace human artists entirely. Layer's different — it's built around the idea that AI should supercharge what creative teams already do well.

The platform handles 2D, 3D, and video content creation while integrating with existing industry-standard tools. No steep learning curves, no forcing teams to abandon workflows they've spent years perfecting. That's smart product design.

Enterprise-Grade Without the Enterprise Headaches

Here's where Layer really shines: they've solved the enterprise puzzle without making the platform clunky. SOC 2 Type II compliance, SSO, role-based access controls — all the security features that make legal teams happy, wrapped in a platform that actual developers want to use.

We've seen too many "enterprise-ready" platforms that feel like they were designed by committee. Layer manages to be both secure and intuitive, which is genuinely rare in this space.

The Numbers Tell a Story

Over 300 studios using the platform daily, with production speed increases of 2-8x? Those aren't just impressive metrics — they're game-changing for an industry where content pipelines can make or break release schedules.

Big names like Zynga, SciPlay, and Machine Zone don't adopt new tools lightly. When AAA studios and successful mobile developers are both finding value in the same platform, that suggests Layer's found something that scales across the entire gaming ecosystem.
