App Description
Tap, hire, train AI models, and build a tech empire from your garage!
Start in a garage with nothing but a laptop and a dream. Tap your way to your first dollar, hire developers, train AI models, and grow from a scrappy startup into a global AI empire.
BUILD YOUR AI COMPANY
Start coding in your garage and watch your startup grow through 20 unique stages — from a tiny server closet to quantum dimensions beyond reality. Each stage brings new challenges, new upgrades, and a fresh look to your office.
TRAIN CUTTING-EDGE AI MODELS
Research and train AI models from simple linear regression all the way to Artificial General Intelligence. Choose your specialization path: Reasoning, Speed, or Multimodal — each with unique bonuses and playstyles.
HIRE & PROMOTE YOUR TEAM
Recruit developers, sales bros, data scientists, DevOps engineers, and more. Promote them through career paths — watch your Junior Dev become a Distinguished Engineer, or your Sales Bro rise to CRO.
EXPAND YOUR EMPIRE
After your first pivot, unlock the Empire system. Buy land across 8 regions — from Silicon Valley to a Quantum Dimension — and build data centers with upgradeable tiers and sub-systems like cooling, power, networking, and security.
MANAGE YOUR STARTUP
Deal with tech debt, pivot when the time is right (and keep your prestige bonuses!), and balance revenue against compute resources. Real startup vibes — minus the existential dread.
125+ ACHIEVEMENTS
Unlock achievements across 13 categories including Revenue Milestones, Team Building, AI Models, Pivots, Empire, and more. Track your progress and aim for 100% completion.
PIXEL ART OFFICE
Watch your startup office come alive with pixel art animations. Your team walks around, thinks startup jargon, and earns money while you're away. Ceiling lights, wall TVs with live charts, motivational posters, bean bags — it's the startup office of your dreams.
