Tryll provides an SDK that lets game studios run AI directly on players’ GPUs, eliminating costly cloud API fees and keeping data on‑device. By integrating a lightweight plugin with Unity or Unreal, developers can deliver fully offline, token‑free AI features that remain functional regardless of third‑party service availability. The platform leverages existing hardware, enabling studios to add sophisticated AI without additional infrastructure or ongoing cloud expenses.

Problem
Game developers want to add AI-driven characters, dynamic content, and voice features, but cloud-based AI services are costly at scale, raise privacy concerns, and create reliance on external APIs that may become unavailable.
Solution
Tryll provides an on-device AI engine that runs directly on each player’s GPU through lightweight plugins for Unity and Unreal. By leveraging the graphics hardware already present in users’ machines, the platform eliminates per‑token cloud fees and keeps personal data local, removing privacy and latency issues. Developers integrate Tryll via a simple SDK that exposes game‑state awareness, context‑aware dialogue, text‑to‑speech, speech‑to‑text, and AI agents that can act within the game world. The runtime operates fully offline, ensuring consistent performance regardless of internet connectivity or third‑party service changes. Pricing is based on a per‑copy royalty (~8 ¢ per game sold), allowing costs to scale proportionally with a game’s success.
Target Audience
Primary customers are independent and mid‑size game studios building titles in Unity or Unreal that require AI-driven gameplay features while controlling costs and preserving user privacy.
