"Intrinsic "graduated" into an independent Alphabet-owned company in 2021 after five years of development within Alphabet's X, the company's moonshot research division. Other companies that have graduated from X include robotaxi company Waymo and drone delivery company Wing."
"Flowstate is a software platform for developing robotics workflows aimed at developers that don't have deep robotics experience - aligning with the company's mission to make robotics more accessible. Since then, the company has fine-tuned the technology, improved its simulation capabilities, and released its Intrinsic Vision AI model in late 2025."
"Intrinsic will remain a distinct entity within Google but will work closely with Google DeepMind and will tap into Google's Gemini AI models and cloud services."
Alphabet-owned Intrinsic, which develops AI models and software for industrial robotics, is joining Google while remaining a distinct entity. Intrinsic will collaborate with Google DeepMind and leverage Google's Gemini AI models and cloud infrastructure. Originally spun out from Alphabet's X moonshot division in 2021, Intrinsic has rapidly expanded through acquisitions of Vicarious and Open Robotics divisions. The company developed Flowstate, a software platform enabling non-expert developers to create robotics workflows, and released its Intrinsic Vision AI model in late 2025. Despite growth, Intrinsic experienced a 20% workforce reduction in 2023 and recently announced a joint venture with electronics manufacturer Foxconn.
