ABOUT US

Where stories meet technology.

How KahaniLab started

KahaniLab exists to help people experience stories more deeply, using technology. Our first attempt was Figuring Out, an AI short film.

Making it showed us where the bigger gap is. Film already pulls you in, but stories you can step inside are badly underserved, and people love them when they exist. So we took the same mission to interactive stories.Then we saw the bigger gap: stories you can step inside. So that’s where we’re building.
