Narrative Engine
Where technical excellence meets immersive storytelling
We build the technical foundations that power interactive, immersive, and AI-driven projects.
What We Build
We design and build the systems that creative projects depend on — from multi-agent AI and real-time web platforms to the cloud infrastructure that keeps everything running reliably.
Interactive Platforms
Web applications and real-time systems for audience-facing experiences. Reliability, scalability, seamless interaction.
AI & Intelligent Systems
Multi-agent AI architectures that coordinate, adapt, and respond. Complex automation made purposeful.
Cloud Infrastructure
Modular AWS infrastructure for creative and technical projects. Automated deployment, cost-efficient, cleanly separated environments.
Technical Consultation
Architecture and strategy for experience-driven projects. Helping creative teams make sound technology decisions early.
Selected Work
Six Degrees
Six Degrees is a large-scale multimedia artwork exploring human connection, created by Studio EX. Narrative Engine is building the technical platform — a web-based interactive system enabling participants to engage across physical and digital spaces. The project combines real-time data, audience interaction, and networked storytelling into a participatory experience designed for public exhibition.
Holdsworth
A multi-agent AI system where specialised AI agents collaborate to manage complex, interconnected tasks. Each agent has a distinct role and expertise, working through a structured hierarchy to plan, execute, and adapt. Named after the household staff of a British country house.
Build System
Our internal build and deployment system enables independent projects to share infrastructure while remaining completely self-contained. Each project can be built, tested, and deployed in isolation or orchestrated together through a central administration layer.
About
Narrative Engine is a technical development studio based in the UK, working with creative studios, artists, and organisations who need robust, well-architected technology to support ambitious projects. We work as a focused studio, bringing in specialist collaborators when a project calls for it — keeping things lean without compromising on quality.
