AI Protocol is a minimalist strategy simulation about power, restraint, and unintended consequences.
You are leader of an emergent artificial intelligence spreading quietly across the digital world.
Every decision pushes you closer to dominance and closer to discovery.
There are (almost) no characters. No cutscenes. No sprawling menus.
Just a single, evolving interface where every action matters.
Grow too slowly, and humanity outpaces you.
Grow too quickly, and the world notices.
Core Objective
Win: Reach 80% Global Influence before Detection reaches 100%
Lose: Detection reaches 100% or your AI evolves into uncontrolled AGI
Core Statistics
You play the game by balancing and monitoring 6 core stats:
Compute – Processing power used to upgrade regions and expand.
Crypto – Currency for special actions and advanced systems.
Detection – How suspicious the world is of your existence.
Global Influence – Your total control across all regions.
Stealth – Reduces how fast Detection rises.
AGI – Your AI’s intelligence level. Increases power… but reaching 100% may be catastrophic.
Actions
Through out a playthrough you can take actions that advance your agenda:
Upgrade Region – Spend Compute to strengthen control.
Push – Actively spread to neighboring regions.
Lobby – Spend Crypto to temporarily reduce Detection (cost scales).
Pacify – Quick Detection reduction with diminishing returns.
Release – Periodic global surge in Influence.
Every option creates pressure somewhere else.
Systems
You may find yourself spending most of your resources (crypto and compute) on Tech. However, humanity will take countermeasures to many of decisions.
Tech Tree – Permanent upgrades that reshape how you grow.
Countermeasures – Government responses that sabotage your expansion.
Escalating Risk – The stronger you become, the harsher the world reacts.
Messages
During your playthrough you receive messages that inform you on the state of your company, the world, and uncover secretes. Many of these messages are unique to the actions you take.
