Learning Factory is a factory automation game where you have to design and build increasingly big and complex factories to make goods for cats. However, it brings a unique twist to the genre thanks to machine learning: you also have to collect feedback from your feline clients and analyze their data with machine learning models until you understand how to really make them happy!

Just like Luden.io's previous game, the acclaimed puzzle game about machine learning while True: learn(), Learning Factory is backed by specialists in the subject, and implements real-world machine learning models. If you want to learn more about this key discipline in today's world, you will get to understand how big data is collected and processed to get useful information out of it. Or you can just focus on making the biggest, quirkiest factories for your cats, of course!
