Jabali
Jabali is a generative-AI game engine that lets people build and publish playable 2D and 3D games by describing them in plain language, no coding required. Founded in 2023 by former Meta, Amazon, Zynga and Microsoft gaming executives alongside AI researchers, the company wants to do for game creation what ChatGPT did for writing. It raised a $5M seed round led by BITKRAFT Ventures with Sony Innovation Fund and Sapphire Sport participating, and opened its Jabali Studio platform in early access in October 2025.
