What Tryll does
Tryll Engine provides on-device AI middleware for game developers, enabling AI to run locally on the player's hardware. This eliminates cloud costs, data exposure, and third-party dependencies. Game studios use Tryll to integrate AI into gameplay in novel ways, offering a foundation for developers to build upon without re-engineering their existing pipelines. The platform is designed to leverage the GPU in every player's machine, offering a new medium for game design.
Products
- Tryll EngineOn-device AI middleware for games, providing Unreal & Unity plugins, game state awareness, context-aware AI, custom AI characters & companions, voice integration (TTS/STT), AI agents, and dynamic content generation.
- Tryll PluginA simple API for prompts, agents, tools, and actions that integrates with Unreal and Unity engines.
- Tryll RuntimeRuns on the player's GPU (NVIDIA, AMD, Intel auto-detected) to process AI models locally.
- Tryll SDKSoftware Development Kit for integrating Tryll Engine, currently available for Unreal Engine with Unity planned. Supports LLM, STT, TTS, VLM, and Agents.
- Tryll AssistantA free AI overlay that runs on any game to demonstrate local LLM inference on player hardware without integration.
