Open most analytics tools and you’ll be faced with a wall of data. DAUs, churn curves, bounce rates. A lot of graphs. A lot of dashboards. A lot of numbers. 

That’s great if you’re doing a postmortem. Not so great if you’re still building the thing.

Lumos wasn’t built to sit on the sidelines and summarize what went wrong. It was built to guide decisions in real time, while the game is live, while your team is sprinting, while the next big bet is still on the table.

That’s why it’s not just a dashboard. Lumos is a game intelligence platform.

What’s a game intelligence platform? 

It’s a strategic co-pilot designed to help designers create, producers prioritize, marketers connect, and publishers invest — with a lot more confidence. Lumos is more than the brains of the operation, it’s the central nervous system of modern game development: always on, always aware, connecting every function with real-time intelligence

Let’s break down how it works and what makes it different from everything else out there.

1. Insight-First, Not Data-First

I’m assuming you're not a spreadsheet whisperer.

Most game analytics tools work like the end goal is a dashboard. For Lumos, the end goal is a decision.

That’s why Lumos leads with narrative insights instead of raw data. It tells you what’s happening in your game, why it’s happening, how it compares, and what you can do next. And it does this with “explain-it-like-I’m-a-pro” clarity, the opposite of ELI5. 

Instead of sifting through a mountain of numbers to find insights, you can straight-up ask Lumos questions like, “Which crafting mechanics boost retention in survival sims?”

Lumos is more than a game-native AI tool. It speaks the language of gaming and actually knows what insights a game studio needs.

Whether you're a designer navigating trade-offs, a producer balancing the roadmap, or an investor scanning for red flags, Lumos helps you understand the signal behind the stats.

2. Trained on 85,000+ Games

Let’s talk about AI. Because everyone else is.

A lot of so-called AI tools are just ChatGPT bolted onto a business intelligence tool. Lumos isn’t one of them. It runs on a custom LLM, trained on:

• 85,000+ games

• 22,000+ curated gameplay features

• 10+ years of taxonomy-rich Gameopedia metadata 

That means it actually understands things like:

• What a “crafting loop” is in a survival game

• How gacha systems affect monetization curves

• Why players rage-quit when matchmaking fails in ranked PvP

So the answers and intelligence Lumos provides you with is grounded in real-world game data, not generic business fluff.

3. Feature-Level Intelligence

Your game isn’t one big blob of KPIs. It’s systems, mechanics, loops, events, friction points. You know, the stuff people actually play.

Lumos breaks things down at the feature level, which means, you are:

• Tracking retention while also seeing which mechanics drive it

• Measuring engagement while learning what features caused it

• Analyzing games, but more importantly, analyzing game design

Want to compare how crafting systems perform in sandbox games with and without PvP? Done.

Want to know if adding seasonal events to your battle pass will actually drive revenue? Sorted.

This is game analytics for people who think in systems, not spreadsheets.

4. Segmentation That Goes Beyond “Male, 18–34”

Player personas matter. We wrote a whole blog about it. 

But let’s be real: most segmentation models are shallow. Age, region, device? That’s not enough.

Lumos segments based on intent and in-game behavior. We don’t extrapolate based on surveys. We don’t couch hunches in the language of business intelligence. Our segments are based on actual, real-world play patterns.

So, instead of a persona that goes, “This is Jack. Male, 18–34. He plays on PC.”

You get: “This player is a Planner: motivated by depth, strategy, and long-term mastery. They’re engaging most with complex skill trees and delayed gratification systems.”

We track live shifts in how players interact with game features. Not just who they are and what they’re playing, but why they’re playing what they’re playing.

This is perfect for:

• Designers testing how well features align with player motivation

• Marketers figuring out messaging for specific audiences

• Publishers identifying under-served segments in their portfolio

5. Intelligence That Embeds Into Your Actual Workflow

Here’s a sneak peek of what’s next:

• Cross-page embeds to surface insights where you work

• Persistent memory in chat so it remembers your last query

• Filter-aware AI so your assistant gets contextually smarter with every click

TL;DR? Lumos will be baked into your workflow. From QA-ing a feature, building a pitch deck, or trying to convince your boss to drop the tutorial from eight minutes to three.

Lumos just doesn’t live in dashboards — it will live within your workflow.

Lumos Is for Studios Who Want to Build Smarter, Not Just Look Smarter

At the end of the day, Lumos isn’t here to decorate your deck or fill your Jira board with vanity metrics.

It’s here to help you:

• Design features that your audience will love

• Prioritize what actually matters to players

• Make smarter bets and avoid expensive mistakes

Whether you’re leading design, shipping features, crafting go-to-market strategy, or placing multimillion-dollar bets, Lumos gives you the clarity to move fast without moving blind.
