About
General Intuition is building “embodied AI” foundation models — systems that can physically navigate and interact with the real world — trained on hundreds of millions of hours of gameplay footage from Medal, the video game clip-sharing platform from which the company spun out in 2025. The company was founded by CEO Pim de Witte alongside Eloi Alonso, Adam Jelley, and Vincent Micheli, and demonstrates technology that transfers learned behaviors from gameplay to physical embodiments like quadrupedal robots 12.

What Investors Say
“If you look at LLMs, when reasoning emerged, it was a quantum leap. In world models, I think the quantum leap is the emergence of intuition in the AI.” — Vinod Khosla, Founder, Khosla Ventures, quoted in TechCrunch, June 25, 2026 1
What Founders Say
“The same brain powering the agent playing the game is powering the robot.” — Pim de Witte, CEO, GamesBeat interview, June 2026 2
“When you play video games, you essentially transfer your perception, usually through a first-person view of the camera, to different environments.” — Pim de Witte, CEO, TechCrunch interview, October 2025 4
“As humans, we create text to describe what’s going on in our world, but in doing so, you lose a lot of information. You lose general intuition around spatial-temporal reasoning.” — Pim de Witte, CEO, TechCrunch interview, October 2025 4
