Atelico AI Engine

Key facts: Atelico AI Engine, from Studio Atelico (veterans from Uber, Meta and Creative Assembly), runs game AI inside the game process on the player's device: language models, image generation, semantic search, speech, lip-sync, memory and a behaviour engine, with no cloud round-trip. It plugs into Unity, Unreal and Godot through a C ABI, and runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android. It was first used in the studio's debut game Bobium Brawlers.

Plans: Early Access opened on October 29, 2026, by request; pricing is not published, so check the official site before planning a budget around it.

Best for: Game studios that want smart NPCs without cloud cost, latency or an internet requirement. Who should skip it: teams happy with cloud AI or building non-game apps.

Watch out for

• Early Access only, by request, so availability and support are limited
• Pricing is not published, which makes budgeting hard
• On-device models will not match the biggest cloud models on the hardest reasoning
