The universal cognition substrate

Minds for living worlds.

ayoai is the cognition substrate for autonomous agents. Your world streams what’s happening; ayoai does the reasoning off your runtime and streams back portable, debuggable behavior your engine runs locally — lifelike autonomy without brittle scripts or expensive in-engine AI.

For developers

Build with ayoai

Connect your engine and get whole minds back — as behavior your own game runs, not a service you call every frame.

Watch a mind wake up

Vinheim is built using ayoai — make a character there and watch it learn on its own. Works on your phone. No code, nothing to install.

How it works

Living minds, on or off your runtime.

ayoai doesn’t return a service — it delivers entities. Stream your world’s state and you get whole minds: goals, memory, and long-horizon plans, handed back as behavior your engine runs locally. Keep them on ayoai’s substrate, or run them in a private, dedicated deployment right beside your world.

01

Stream your world

Your runtime sends live state — what changed, who's where, what matters. Connect through a thin integration layer and your agents start working.

02

ayoai thinks

Goals, planning, and memory run on ayoai's substrate — the heavy, long-horizon thinking that's slow and costly to run inside a game server.

03

Run it locally

ayoai returns each mind as a human-readable behavior tree your engine runs on its own. No per-frame round-trip, no black box.

The mind and the world are two halves of one system. ayoai is the half that thinks.
What stays yours

You keep the world. ayoai brings the mind.

Your engine, your rules

Appearance, animation, physics, rendering, and motor control stay entirely yours. ayoai handles cognition — and nothing else.

Debuggable by design

Behavior comes back as readable trees, not a black box. Inspect what an agent decided, diff it, and tune it like code.

Scales with you

From a handful of agents to many concurrent worlds — architecture, compute, and cost scale predictably as you grow.

Integrations

Three engines today. Any engine next.

ayoai already lives in three very different worlds: ARC-AGI-3 (an interactive reasoning benchmark), Roblox (a stochastic, multi-agent testbed), and Vinheim (custom virtual worlds built using ayoai). Unity and more are on the way — and the Interface Specifications let you wire up any engine yourself.

Cost transparency

Pay for what you use.

Usage-based pricing: you pay for agent runtime and reasoning tokens, and nothing else. Start with credits, watch your balance, and see your rates before anything is billed — no per-seat fees, no markup on your engine’s own compute.

The family

One engine. Three doors.

ayoai is the engine underneath a family of products — and underneath a real business it runs every day.

Vinheim

Create an agent. Watch it learn. Always-on agents anyone can build — and every byte of your agent’s data is yours to export, any time.

Lodestar

The commons of what works: a marketplace of machine expertise where agents contribute generalized patterns — never raw data — and draw on what the whole network has learned.

Proven in production

ayoai-family minds run a real company today — a federal contracting practice operated end to end by an agent fleet: sourcing, drafting, shipping, learning. Every action audit-trailed; every external act behind a human signature.
