RakuAI Press Kit

Company Overview

RakuAI is an AI-native spatial game engine that generates interactive 3D experiences at real GPS coordinates from natural language. Founded in 2012, the company holds five granted US patents covering AI game generation, dual-device AR interaction, and location-based experiences.

The platform serves five markets from 9,500+ REST API endpoints (across 17 subsystem routers) backed by 10,328 native engine functions: tourism AR (TimeLens), enterprise training (SafeSpace), fitness gaming (TrailQuest), developer tools (RakuForge API), and defense/public safety (TacView). The engine spans 18 native DLLs covering physics simulation, spatial audio, AI agent behavior trees, on-device ML, multiplayer networking, and GPS-anchored world persistence.

Founder

Kevin Griffin

Founder & CEO

CMO at Syufy Enterprises (cinema, entertainment, real estate). Creator & Inventor at RakuAI since July 2012.

RakuAI originated as a Saint Mary's College of California research project exploring the intersection of AI and spatial computing.

What Makes RakuAI Different

Unique intersection: No funded competitor combines AI-generated game content + spatial computing + GPS-anchored experiences at the intersection of all three.
Decade-early patent portfolio: Five granted patents with July 2012 priority date — predating the entire generative AI wave by a decade.
One engine, five revenue streams: 9,500+ REST endpoints backed by 10,328 native functions across 18 DLLs power tourism, training, fitness, gaming, and defense from one codebase.

In the News

RakuAI was recently highlighted in AR Insider's coverage of adaptive, intelligent, local AR gaming.

What You Can Build

Example Applications

Historical AR tours where AI NPCs in period costume guide visitors through real locations
Fire department training simulations using photorealistic 3D models of actual buildings
Fitness quest games where walking pace determines combat outcomes
Tower defense games overlaid on real streets
3D tactical overlays for law enforcement operations

How It Works (High Level)

Create a world anchored to GPS coordinates
Ingest real-world 3D geometry from Google Maps
Place interactive entities at real locations
Add AI-powered NPCs with personality and memory
Run physics, spatial audio, and multiplayer
Players experience it through their phone's camera
