AI Consulting
Intrinsic Algorithm Consulting provides contract-based AI design and programming services to other companies needing services in Artificial Intelligence (AI), simulation design, game
balancing and mathematical modeling.
We have done work for Sony Online Entertainment, ArenaNet, PixelMage Games and other studios ranging from AAA to indie.
Our approach is to help you help yourself. We want to work our way out of a job, leaving your team and your company self-sufficient with an excelent AI design and infrastructure.
Please check out more information on how Intrinsic Algorithm views the process of AI consulting and see the technologies we have developed for use in our customers' projects.

We have suspended development on our debut title,
an airline management simulation "Airline
Traffic Manager". Because this was the "pet project" that originally got us into games, we hope to resume it at some point in the future.
