Details
Dyno is a standard off-the-shelf Discord bot used by thousands of servers. It provides automated functions including spam detection, keyword filtering, automatic role assignment, and moderation logging. Larian has not developed a custom AI moderation system — its use of Dyno represents standard community management practice for large gaming Discord servers. Human moderators active on both the Discord server and Larian's official forums at forums.larian.com make judgment calls that Dyno cannot. No evidence was found of any bespoke AI moderation tooling.

Creative GenLarian uses machine learning models to clean up and adapt motion capture data from human actors so it can be applied to game characters of wildly different body shapes — like a tiny halfling or a towering dragonborn. These models are trained only on data Larian owns, and their output appears in shipped games.Creative GenLarian's artists experimented with generative AI tools to explore rough visual ideas at the very earliest stage of concept art development — similar to how a designer might flip through reference books. After significant backlash from fans and former employees in December 2025, the studio formally banned generative AI from all concept art work in January 2026.Creative GenA small group at Larian Studios tested generative AI text generation tools for research purposes during early development of Divinity, the studio's next RPG. Writing Director Adam Smith stated at a January 9, 2026 Reddit AMA that the tools scored '3/10 at best' and that no AI-generated text touches dialogue, journal entries, or any other written content in Divinity.
