GoodAI

What GoodAI does

GoodAI is a Prague-based artificial general intelligence (AGI) research and development company founded in January 2014 by Marek Rosa and publicly announced in July 2015 as a sister company to Keen Software House. The firm operates with roughly 30 research scientists, engineers, and consultants across multiple legal entities including GoodAI Research s.r.o., GoodAI Applied s.r.o., and AGI Research s.r.o. Its mission is the development of safe general AI, pursued through three interconnected technical streams: a foundational Badger Architecture (a modular meta-learning framework using collaborative homogeneous agents with shared weights, released December 2019), a Long-Term Memory (LTM) system that extends LLM context windows to enable continual learning, and a swarm robotics program built around the autonomous Prometheus drone platform that operates without GPS, pilot, or signal.

Core products include GoodAI Groundstation (an AI-driven control platform for autonomous multi-drone operations), the open-source Charlie Mnemonic personal assistant (the first LLM agent equipped with LTM), GoodAI LTM Benchmark for objective memory evaluation, the AI People game demonstrating memory-enabled NPCs, and the Prometheus autonomous drone prototype plus customizable GoodAI Dock hardware. The firm also open-sources the Arnold Simulator research environment. Strategic research collaborations include partnerships with NVIDIA (CES 2025 ACE integration), the VeriDream consortium (€2M European Innovation Council award), and the iv4XR consortium (€3.5M EU Horizon 2020 award), plus a $90,000+ GoodAI Grants program funding 12+ academic research groups worldwide.

GoodAI's business model mixes professional-services revenue (applied AI R&D for entertainment, business, and technology clients), licensing/royalty exposure through NVIDIA ACE integrations into KRAFTON's PUBG: BATTLEGROUNDS, NetEase titles, and Wemade Next's inZOI, subscription/recurring revenue from Groundstation enterprise deployments (including a community safety pilot in Hout Bay, South Africa), and non-dilutive public grant funding. The company operates primarily through research-community engagement and academic collaboration rather than traditional B2B sales, with public-facing validation via NeurIPS and Nature publications, a 2019 AI Awards Person of the Year recognition for the founder, and a first-of-its-kind South African Civil Aviation Authority approval (December 2024) for pilot-less drone operations.

Core offering

GoodAI is an artificial intelligence R&D company developing Long-Term Memory (LTM) systems for LLM agents, autonomous drone control software (GoodAI Groundstation), and AI applications for gaming including NPCs with persistent memory. Commercial offerings span enterprise B2B licensing, subscription-based drone operations platforms, and open-source AI research tools. Revenue is generated through professional research services, gaming AI licensing, enterprise drone deployments, and EU research grants.

Product overview

GoodAI is developing general artificial intelligence with a portfolio of interconnected research products and platforms. The core offerings include GoodAI Groundstation (drone control software) and GoodAI Swarm Robotics (autonomous drone technology including Prometheus), which together enable autonomous drone operations without GPS or pilot control. The AI intelligence stack centers on Long-Term Memory (LTM) systems that power LLM Agents and Charlie Mnemonic (open-source personal AI assistant), allowing continual learning from every interaction. The Badger Architecture provides the foundational modular meta-learning framework, while GoodAI LTM Benchmark serves as the evaluation tool for measuring memory capabilities. Applications span AI in Games (including AI People with memory-enabled NPCs), drone operations, and fundamental research. GoodAI Grants funds external research aligned with Badger Architecture development.

Products and services

• GoodAI Groundstation AI-powered ground control station platform enabling users to control multiple drones simultaneously without specialized training. Users specify high-level goals and drones adapt autonomously to changing environments and tasks. Supports remote operations, autonomous patrolling, object detection, and multi-drone collaboration; deployed for community safety applications in South Africa.
• GoodAI Swarm Robotics (Prometheus) Autonomous drone swarm technology enabling intelligent drone swarms that operate as teammates rather than tools. Includes the Prometheus drone prototype capable of flying, exploring, and scanning without GPS, pilot, or signal in indoor and outdoor-to-indoor environments, building 3D maps and finding safe paths.
• Long-Term Memory (LTM) System System expanding LLM agents' context window to enable continual learning from interactions and environmental dynamics. Creates agents capable of lifelong learning using every experience to enhance future performance, with multiple memory types: episodic, procedural, emotional, and relational.
• Charlie Mnemonic Open-source personal AI assistant (LLM agent) equipped with Long-Term Memory. First assistant with LTM enabling learning from every interaction. Features Chain-of-Thought reasoning and integrated Recall system for searching past interactions.
• LLM Agents Large Language Model-based agents with personalities that go beyond simple conversations. Built on cognitive architecture with distinct forms of working memory and long-term memory, managing memory inconsistencies like contradictions or outdated information. Used as the foundation for gaming AI and enterprise AI applications.
• AI People Game featuring NPCs with advanced long-term memory capabilities. NPCs remember conversations, commands, and personal details across interactions, creating immersive and personalized gameplay experiences. Features hierarchical planning for NPC task execution.
• Badger Architecture Modular meta-learning architecture and learning procedure defined by the key principle of modular life-long learning. Reusable experts that share weights to increase generality through task-specific learning in an extensible pool of modules. Foundation for GoodAI's general AI research.
• GoodAI LTM Benchmark Open-source benchmark for testing agents' ability to perform tasks involving advanced use of memory over very long conversations. Serves as an objective measure for development of agents capable of continual and life-long learning. Presented at NeurIPS 2024.
• GoodAI Dock Customizable hardware prototype companion to Groundstation software for drone charging and deployment, supporting autonomous drone operations workflows.
