game developers
Business model
premium plugins
Effort
A few months

Online games struggle with laggy AI interactions due to cloud dependencies.

An open-source engine that runs character AI locally while syncing only essential world state across devices.

Indie game studios would pay for plugins that add smart NPC behaviors without server costs.

First version could be a Unity/Godot extension with basic local AI behaviors.

Risk: Device performance limitations on mobile.
