GOAT Gaming, born from the creators of Mighty Bear Games, is evolving interactive entertainment by adapting to new platforms such as Telegram. Since its launch on Telegram in August, the platform claims to have amassed 5 million active users, driven by the popularity of games such as Waifu Clash and Kitty Solitaire. Now, the focus is on unlocking AI-powered experiences within Telegram’s Mini Apps.
A key aspect of GOAT Gaming is its proprietary AI technology, refined since 2016, which enabled the company to launch 37 games in 2024. This technology is being shared with the community via AlphaGOATs, autonomous AI agents powered by a dataset of over 100 million gaming transactions. Starting on February 6th, AlphaGOATs will allow anyone to create, compete, and earn, paving the way for a new era of democratised gaming.
Simon Davis, CEO of GOAT Gaming, stated that Telegram is the most accessible gateway to Web3. The company intends to host hundreds of games and integrate numerous autonomous agents to deliver seamless, AI-driven gaming.
GOAT Gaming aims to launch over 50 games powered by AlphaAI by the end of 2025, alongside partnering with third-party studios.
