The story
We took them so our customers would not have to.
Chapter 01
2015
ThinkingAI was founded as ThinkingData in Shanghai in 2015 by four engineers from two of the world’s largest technology companies. They knew mobile and games, and they left steady careers to bet on both.
Chapter 02
2015-17
For two years we listened for a living, pulling what players and developers said out of app stores, forums and communities, and rebuilding around every round of feedback. What we heard kept leading somewhere bigger.
“Meet customers every day. Build what they tell you they need.”
Chapter 03
2017
Customers pointed at the real problem: game teams needed real-time, granular data, and every question sat a day or two in the data team’s queue. Thinking Game Analytics was built so anyone could ask directly. The belief in 2017: nobody should wait in line for an answer.
Chapter 04
2018-21
Two founders became the first two salespeople and flew to any studio that would take a meeting. Roughly a thousand conversations later: 30 clients at the end of 2018, 100 at the end of 2019, 500 by late 2021.
Chapter 05
2022-25
Analytics grew into ThinkingEngine: Live Ops and BI alongside it, because Live Ops sits closer to players and revenue than a dashboard ever does. Release by release the loop closed. By 2025, 1,500+ companies and 8,000+ apps and games ran on it.
Chapter 06
Today
Each founder took a region, and our CEO moved to the San Francisco Bay Area to build the US team in person. In April 2026 we launched Agentic Engine, an enterprise agent platform on a decade of data. Same playbook as 2018: one conversation at a time.

How we work
Four principles, each one earned on real customer work, and still how we build today.
01
We shipped our first product before we had asked a single customer who would pay for it. Everything since runs the other way round: meet customers constantly, and build what they tell you they need.

full resolution
02
You cannot understand players or users from sampled dashboards. We keep every event at full resolution, in real time, so answers hold up when revenue is on the line.
03
Our agents do the legwork: the analysis, the experiment designs, the campaign drafts. Nothing ships without your team approving it. That is a design principle, not a disclaimer.
04
The first hundred clients were won face to face, across roughly a thousand conversations. We still work that way: in your data, in your meetings, in the trenches with your team.
