General Intuition Launches with $133.7M Seed Round to Build AI Agents with Spatial-temporal Reasoning

Medal, the platform known for uploading and sharing gaming clips, has officially spun out General Intuition, a new AI research lab focused on spatial-temporal reasoning — the ability for AI agents to understand how objects and entities move through space and time.

Led by Pim de Witte, CEO of both Medal and General Intuition, the startup is leveraging Medal’s vast dataset of over 2 billion videos per year from 10 million users across thousands of games to train foundation models capable of dynamic real-world interaction.

The company has raised $133.7 million in seed funding from Khosla Ventures, General Catalyst, and Raine. Its early applications include advanced gaming agents and search-and-rescue drones that navigate complex environments without GPS. Founding team member Moritz Baier-Lentz of Lightspeed Ventures noted the company’s focus on adaptive agents that evolve with player behavior rather than relying on scripted actions.

By training purely from visual input and controller-based movement, General Intuition aims to advance toward artificial general intelligence (AGI) through perception, intuition, and spatial understanding rather than text-based learning alone.
