About the studio
A tiny studio making AI short videos, apps and web games.
Xaplore LLC is an independent studio based in North Carolina. We make three kinds of things: AI short videos that tell a story in a minute, small apps that make everyday life a little easier, and web games that make the minutes in between a little more fun.
Our apps and games come from the same frustration. The ones we reached for kept getting heavier: more sign-ups, more notifications, more ads, more data leaving our devices. So we build the opposite. Software that does one thing well, is quick to learn, and respects your privacy. No venture capital and no growth hacks, just careful work, real support, and policies written in plain English.
On the video side, our AI-made series 硅谷码农那些事儿 runs on Douyin, Xiaohongshu and WeChat Channels. On the app side, our first release is Buddy Duo Walkie-Talkie, push-to-talk for the whole family. On the game side, there are ten free browser games so far, from a rule-guessing puzzle and a rewind story to a dungeon-crawling action RPG, a 3D drive through the real streets of twelve American cities, a tactical shooter and a mahjong table (casual or Guobiao), those last three playable online with friends, plus a 300-level mahjong-tile matching journey. More of all three are on the way.
We also take on client work in three areas: AI short videos, apps and web games. If you have something in mind, get in touch.
"Fewer features, done well, so you can get back to the people and the moments that matter."The rule every Xaplore app and game has to pass
