The experience gap

Physical AI has an experience problem.

Robotics is stuck between pilot and production. Policies generalize only as far as the experience they were trained on, and in open-ended deployment, failures concentrate exactly where that experience runs out.

Why gameplay

Gameplay holds experience robots can’t easily get.

Games are dense with the situations deployments fail on: surprise, contact, pursuit and recovery. Millions of hours are played every day, so the experience your model needs already exists. We capture it at the source.

Applications

One corpus. Four training objectives.

Every session pairs observation with the action that produced the next frame. The same trajectories supervise dynamics models, policies and planners.

Custom capture

Capture the experience your model is missing.

Specify the behaviors your model is missing. We instrument the title, recruit matched contributors from a 150K+ network and deliver exclusively to you, without you standing up a collection operation of your own.

Where we're going

From datasets to a learning loop.

Gameplay is our first source of experience. We are building the infrastructure that turns deployment failures into targeted training experience: diagnosed, sourced, trained on and verified, with a human approving every update.
