General ASI Information

Welcome to ASI: Survival Intelligence - your comprehensive AI-powered companion for mastering ARK: Survival Ascended. Here's everything you need to know about what ASI is, how it came to be, and its powerful capabilities.

🧠 What is ASI?

ASI is your AI-powered companion for mastering everything in ARK: Survival Ascended. Unlike traditional wikis or static calculators, ASI is a living, evolving second brain for survivors that combines advanced artificial intelligence with a meticulously curated database of game mechanics.

ASI isn't just another generic AI chatbot. While it uses advanced artificial intelligence to understand your questions, its real power comes from its comprehensive knowledge base that has been manually built and verified for accuracy. Every piece of data, from the base health of a Dodo to the intricate details of boss fight mechanics, has been carefully curated to give you precise, reliable information.

💡 Think of ASI as your personal ARK expert that never sleeps, never forgets, and can instantly calculate complex scenarios that would take hours to figure out manually.

🚀 How We Came Up With ASI

ASI was born from a simple idea: to create the smartest, most reliable, and most useful companion for players of ARK: Survival Ascended.

We've played ARK for a very long time, but even after thousands of hours, we would find ourselves coming across questions such as "Can a crystal wyvern pick up a velo?" Finding out that people believed tek stegos took less damage from tek turrets than regular stegos. Seeing dozens of people across the community ask so many questions about ARK... but who could blame them? There is so much to know about the game it's difficult to wrap your head around.

As passionate players ourselves, we grew tired of:

  • Searching through incomplete wikis for accurate information
  • Struggling to get straight answers to complex in-game questions
  • Having to piece together information from multiple sources
  • And worst of all, wasting so much time testing basic things in singleplayer

We knew there had to be a better way. Our mission became clear: create a tool that could answer the questions that were previously unanswerable, like:

"How many bullets can I soak from enemy heavy turrets if I use two Stegos with 100k health and capped saddles?"

By combining a curated database with intelligent reasoning, ASI can perform complex calculations on the fly, providing tactical insights that no other tool can offer.

⚠️ Please Understand:

Just like any other AI tools, it is only as good as the user input it receives.

We have done our best to make ASI use previous context to piece together your request if you leave out details, but be as specific as possible with every request to get the best results.

Don't talk to ASI as if it could read your mind. Talk to ASI as if it's human.
