## What is The AI Company?

Build an AI empire from a garage — and try not to end the world before lunch.

The AI Company is a satirical management tycoon where you found a frontier AI lab, hire brilliant (and unhinged) researchers, ship products, and race your rival to AGI. It's a love letter to the classic pixel tycoon sims, re-skinned for the age of hype decks, GPU shortages, and "we're being responsible, we promise."

PITCH, BUILD, SHIP
Combine a Modality with an Application and gamble on the result. Every combo lands somewhere on two axes — Market (does it sell?) and Heat (does it get you sued?). Discover all 120 combinations and fill your Codex. On launch day, watch real customers react, then sweat through four critics scoring your model live.

HIRE A DREAM TEAM
Recruit researchers, ML engineers, and product designers — each with their own stats and questionable opinions about AGI. Train them, level them up, and unlock 3 secret god-tier engineers hidden behind achievements your AI assistant will hint at.

YOUR PERSONAL NEMESIS
After a petty founding argument, your co-founder storms off to start a rival company — and then tracks you for the rest of the game, shipping competing products head-to-head, every single launch.

RUN THE WHOLE COMPANY
- Raise VC rounds (and watch your equity melt)
- Survive moral dilemmas with no good options
- Take military contracts (the alignment team will be thrilled)
- Acquire or raid rival labs
- Upgrade your office and buy perks — espresso machines to on-prem superclusters
- Keep Public Trust alive, or get Cancelled

MANY WAYS TO WIN (AND LOSE)
Ring the IPO bell, dominate the market, get acquired into a cushy non-job — or flame out in bankruptcy and a very sad TED talk. Every ending is comedic.

PREMIUM PIXEL CRAFT
Chunky pixel-art office that grows as you do, an original chiptune soundtrack, and satisfying sound effects throughout.

No ads. No in-app purchases. No accounts. No data collection — your company lives entirely on your device.
