We built KARIANA
because our team was drowning.
Scene audits that took two days. Naming conventions nobody enforced. Import settings nobody checked until something broke on the wall. KARIANA started as a tool we built for ourselves.
$150K/year specialists.
Renaming files by hand.
We ran a VP studio. Our senior TDs were spending 30-40% of their day on work below their expertise. Vendor scenes arriving with 3,200 assets in default UE naming. Two days of cleanup before the team could start lighting.
We looked for a tool that could sit inside Unreal Engine, understand our project structure, and do that repetitive work for us. We couldn't find one. So we built it.
First internal version: a handful of MCP tools and a chat panel inside UE. Scene audit that took two days: done in 47 minutes. We knew we had something.

Two people who spent too many hours on the wrong work.
Piotr Buczkowski
Co-founder & CEO
15+ years in virtual production, game trailers, and real-time 3D. Built KARIANA because his own team was drowning in repetitive UE work.
Bartosz Barlowski
Co-founder & CTO
Full-stack engineer and pipeline architect. Designed the MCP toolchain that gives KARIANA read-write access to Unreal Engine projects.
Six things we don't negotiate on.
01
AI amplifies artists. It doesn't replace them.
KARIANA handles the repetitive work so your team can focus on what they're actually good at. Iron Man suit, not Terminator.
02
Ship today. Don't plan forever.
Doing beats thinking. We build, we test, we ship. Imperfect and working beats perfect and planned.
03
Every claim needs a number or a story.
No vague promises. If we say KARIANA is faster, we show you 8 hours versus 30 minutes. That's the standard we hold ourselves to.
04
Context is the real moat.
Not the code. Not the model. The fact that KARIANA understands the structure of your specific project — that's what makes it useful.
05
Honesty builds more trust than polish.
We tell you what doesn't work yet. We tell you where the edges are. People trust you more when you say the hard things.
06
VALIDATE before CREATE.
Audit before you act. Read before you write. The safest entry point is always the one that doesn't change anything.
