Flow analyzes non-identifying gameplay data and transforms it into structured human-performance data that helps AI developers understand how real people think, learn, adapt, and make decisions.
Skillprint works with AI labs and other organizations seeking human behavioral data and shares 50% of the resulting data revenue with participating games studios. The Flow API and toolset runs in the background without introducing new ads or content and gives game studios real-time intelligence into how players experience their games.
Beyond revenue, Flow gives developers new signals into player cognition, mood, personality, and flow state. Studios can use this intelligence to understand where players are highly engaged, frustrated, or losing interest and, through Adaptive Play, define how elements such as difficulty and pacing respond in real time.
“Game studios generate valuable human-performance data every time someone plays their
games, but today they capture very little of its potential value,” said Chethan Ramachandran, CEO of Skillprint, in a statement. “Skillprint Flow gives studios a way to participate in the growing market for human behavioral data while accessing a new non-ad revenue stream from
their gameplay, while also gaining intelligence they can use to better understand and adapt the
player experience. We believe this creates a better model where AI gets smarter, studios share
in the value, and the underlying data ultimately helps us build AI that works better with people.”
Data that captures and measures how real people think, feel and decide is scarce and
increasingly valuable because it can’t be simply scraped from the web or synthesized. Game
studios generate these human-performance signals every day but historically have captured
none of its value. Flow changes that by transforming gameplay into measurable human-
performance intelligence in real-time and at scale.
Skillprint provides this enriched dataset along with a toolkit to its Flow partners at no cost, including a real-time dashboard; a player Flow Score, a per-player, per-session read on flow
state that shows exactly where players drop off; and Adaptive Play, which tunes difficulty and
pacing in real time to keep players in the flow zone, challenged but not frustrated, engaged but
not bored. This intelligence isn’t just a dashboard; studios can act on it inside the game itself.
Skillprint Flow is built on more than 800 game-based cognitive studies. It maps more than 150
game mechanics to mood, personality, and cognition, and captures 1,200 data points per session, measuring 14 cognitive skills, 9 moods, 5 personality traits, and 3 flow states.
The same underlying human-performance intelligence also powers Skillprint Signal, the company recently launched a benchmark for measuring how effectively AI models improve human outcomes. Signal uses that intelligence to evaluate AI; Flow enables game studios to generate it at scale.
Together, Signal and Flow reflect Skillprint’s broader thesis that the next phase of AI should
focus not only on making models more capable, but on improving how humans and AI perform
together.
Skillprint Flow is designed as a lightweight integration for Unity, Unreal, JavaScript, and HTML5
games, with minimal engineering required. Skillprint Flow is available now to game studio
partners at docs.skillprint.co.
Skillprint is a human-performance intelligence company using gameplay to understand and
enhance how people think, feel and perform. Since 2020, Skillprint has combined cognitive
science, game mechanics and AI to translate real gameplay into measurable human-
performance signals. Skillprint’s mission is to help build a future where AI augments human
capability.
