About this lab

What this lab is

Cards and tokens arranged among column fragments and a vessel

Where the AI Game Facilitation hub is a community of practice, the AI Studio Lab is a workshop: a small, hands-on group that actually builds — AI-assisted game engines, generated scenario systems, digital co-facilitators — and tests them with real groups.

The lab is forming now. Its output is prototypes and honest findings, shared with the whole association: what worked, what failed, and what the field should adopt. Expect rough edges; that's the point.

The practice

What members will do

  • Build and test AI-powered game prototypes in small working groups
  • Run structured experiments with real facilitation sessions
  • Publish findings — including the failures — to the whole community
  • Evaluate emerging tools before the field bets on them
  • Feed proven patterns into the AI Game Facilitation hub's practice
Membership

Who it's for

Builders: facilitators who prototype, designers who code (or want to pair with someone who does), and technologists curious about live group work. A bias for shipping experiments over discussing them.
