Yes, Poki allows AI-assisted games, but flags that games created solely with AI can raise IP ownership issues. You must be able to show which tools you used and your creation process on request, and no AI watermarks or prompt text may appear anywhere in the game.

Yes. Poki’s quality guidelines explicitly address AI use and don’t ban it, but they flag it as a review risk: “Poki encourages creative experimentation, and that includes thoughtful use of AI tools,” while also warning that “games created (solely) with AI can create IP ownership issues.” (sdk.poki.com/poki-quality-guidelines) You need to be able to show which tools you used and give an overview of your creation process, prompts and iterations on request, and you must remove any visible AI watermarks or prompt text from the final build. For testing AI builds, Playgama MCP lets agents upload builds and publish sandboxes.
Two things trip developers up. First, licensing: check the terms of any AI art or audio tool before shipping – some restrict commercial use or require credit, and if the tool’s terms conflict with Poki’s requirement to prove clean ownership, the game can get stuck in review. Second, untested output: Poki’s guidance is clear that no untested generated content should ship, so run a full playtest pass on any AI-generated levels, dialogue or art before submitting.
Since Poki is a curated platform that hand-picks releases, treat AI disclosure as part of submission prep, not an afterthought. Read the current guidelines directly before you submit, since platform rules change: sdk.poki.com/poki-quality-guidelines and developers.poki.com/guide/requirements-quality.

Can I keep AI-generated art in my Poki game if a tool’s license restricts commercial use?
Check the tool’s terms first. Poki’s guidelines say to check the terms of tools you use, since some require credit or restrict commercial use, which can block release.
Does Poki require me to label a game as AI-made?
The guidelines don’t describe a public AI label; instead they require you to be able to explain your tools and process on request and remove visible AI watermarks or prompt text.
