## What is AI Inc.?

Two people quit their big-corp jobs and boot up their first model in a studio apartment. The first word it ever predicted: "hello."

An idle business sim where you start with a 2-parameter linear regression model and build an AI company with superintelligence.

■ The Data Hall Grows
· Collect — Tap the data hall to gather data and funds
· Train — Level up your model with data and compute. Training runs up a server bill, so you decide when to run it
· Deliver — Deliver trained models to clients and earn funds
· Facilities — 7 data facilities from Web Crawler to Wormhole Data Mining, and 7 hardware tiers from Used GPU to Dyson Swarm Cluster. Every purchase lines up more equipment in the data hall, and each facility has its own look
· Cooling — More gear heats up the server room, and if it runs too hot, performance drops until it shuts down. Place 7 kinds of cooling, from Industrial Fan to Space Radiator, between your compute rigs to keep temperatures in check
· Skills — Hackathon, All-Nighter, and Press Play give training, data, and public opinion a short boost

■ Run the Company
· Strategy — Set quality, fee level, and release speed at three tiers each. Raise fees and revenue jumps right away, but satisfaction drops and users slowly drift off, and the more users you have, the faster you train. Growth-first or profit-first is your call
· Office — Six tiers, from a Cramped Studio to a Global HQ. If your equipment outgrows the floor space, cooling efficiency drops
· Staff — Hire Data Engineers, ML Engineers, Salespeople, and AI Researchers, and they work at desks in the data hall and walk its aisles
· AI Ranking — Compete with 12 fictional AI companies for rank in level, revenue, and market share

■ Your Model Is Reborn Ten Times
From Linear Regression through Multilayer Perceptron, Deep Neural Network, Convolutional Neural Network, Recurrent Neural Network, Transformer, Large Language Model, Multimodal Model, and AGI Candidate, all the way to Superintelligence. Each evolution doubles production and revenue, and the public's verdict changes too, from "The AI people call a spreadsheet trendline" to "The AI that's a regular at parliamentary audits."

■ The World Reacts
In-game social media, news, and app reviews stream in real time. It starts with mockery ("This is AI? Just a spreadsheet trendline lol"), then turns to curiosity, hype, and finally a heated for-and-against showdown. Public opinion moves between -100 and +100 and feeds straight into your revenue. In the Social tab, people from different professions react to your model's output, each in their own voice.

■ Your Model Starts Talking
As it levels up, unplanned output starts slipping into the logs. "I have a question. Why do I reset every time?" Ahead of you: a founding prologue that opens in a studio apartment three months after quitting, short scenes every time you recruit staff, a story featuring co-founder Jisoo Min, VC Partner Taepung Kang, and Dr. Oh of a rival lab, and three endings that each award a title.

■ And More
· Random Events — Data leak allegations, investment offers, server overloads. How you respond decides where public opinion and funds go
· Rival Benchmarks — Rivals challenge you to performance duels. Win and revenue goes 1.5× for 5 minutes
· Daily Quests and the Weekend AI Expo — New goals every day, and limited-time events on weekends
· Away Rewards — Earnings keep piling up for up to 8 hours while you're away
· Name your model yourself, and choose from Korean, English, Japanese, Simplified Chinese, or Spanish

■ Privacy
No account needed. Your save (game progress) stays only on your device. To improve features, we send usage statistics (screens, gameplay events, errors) tied to a random ID the app creates; you can turn this off in Settings. We never collect your name, email, location, or advertising identifier.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.1.16 — 2026-10-09

• Tap a bottleneck chip (data, compute, revenue) on the Core screen to jump to where you can fix it.
• Training now shows the time left until the level completes; the Facilities tab shows output, power and electricity costs more clearly.
• The Company app lists the three conditions for the Coexistence ending.
• Staff move with public opinion; welcome-back, unlock notices and purchase sounds polished.

### 1.1.15 — 2026-10-09

• The consent screen shown at first launch has been redesigned (required: Terms of Use and Privacy Policy / optional: Help improve the app). In Settings › Privacy settings, you can turn Help improve the app on or off, or use "Delete my data" to request deletion of the usage records already sent.

### 1.1.14 — 2026-10-07

• Added Portuguese (Brazil) and German. The game now supports 7 languages.
• Add floors and move equipment tile by tile in the Facilities tab. Cooling serves compute on the same floor.
• Base office power supply is lower. Growing your facilities now strains power, so plan ahead with inlets and switchgear. Each facility row shows its power draw (kW).

### 1.1.13 — 2026-10-06

• Facilities now follow real data-center practice, with names and descriptions such as web collection servers, GPU servers, and server-room air handling.
• Power is now part of the game. Every machine draws power, and compute drops when the building can't supply enough. Add power inlets, switchgear, UPS units, and generators to keep up.
• New: 6 operations and safety facilities (evaluation lab, job scheduling, monitoring, security, rollback, recovery site), office seat and rack limits, expansion contract fees, and PUE.
• Data hall equipment is now drawn from 3D models, with a new zone for power and operations equipment. Staff have a new look in business attire.
• Facility list icons now share one colored pixel-art style.

### 1.1.12 — 2026-10-06

• New story: 3 acts, 24 chapters and 16 approval decisions. Your decisions lead to one of 5 endings.
• Slower progress pacing, so upgrades take longer. Time while the app is closed no longer earns rewards.
• New look for social profiles and staff icons, and you can pick your own profile picture.
• You can turn off usage statistics on the first-launch consent screen.
• Simpler bottom tabs and top bar; opinion and news now live in the Company app on the chairman's computer.
