(From the Detroit: Become Human wiki)

CyberLife (originally named AVX Applications) is the world's leading android designer, manufacturer and retailer of androids and rival to Wallace Corporation.

Founded by Elijah Kamski, CyberLife produces all kinds of androids from domestic assistants to teachers, doctors, police officers and even soldiers. Based in Detroit, they own the CyberLife Tower and five stores across the city, and have opened a plant in Milwaukee.

## History

### Origin under Kamski

Kamski originally founded a company called AVX Applications as an energy company using Thirium to power large areas.

Interested in robotics, Kamski invented Thirium 310 and biocomponents. Wanting to focus exclusively on robotics, it was renamed to Cyberlife and android production began.

An RT600 android named Chloe publicly passes face-to-face Turing tests in 2022. With the demand, the company starts to mass produce. In 2024, CyberLife production line brings the ST200 leading to the company marketing the first android in Detroit. The ST200 is a personal assistance model that can speak several languages and perform most if not all tasks a human could accomplish.

As the manufacturing and the demand for CyberLife’s androids increases, Detroit-based CyberLife announces the release of five new models designed to serve in fields as diverse as domestic assistance, higher education, and medicine in 2027. The sales of android reach one million that year. CyberLife starts to market an entry-level model at $4,999, democratizing androids for the general public.

When the company was approaching a $500bn valuation, rumors emerged that Kamski disagreed with his shareholders over strategy.

In 2028, Kamski resigned as CEO and left CyberLife and has been rumored since to live a luxurious life in the outskirts of Detroit with his own creation, androids.

### After Kamski

In 2030, CyberLife closes trading with a market valuation of $850bn, making it the most valuable company in the world. With new models being released and marketed on a regular basis across the entire country, the Detroit-based giant continues to grow at a phenomenal pace and tips to be the first company to break the trillion dollar mark.

In 2031, the U.S. government orders two million androids for use in the infantry, with a view to reducing human casualties, with android soldiers. At the same time, Michigan announces the purchase of 5,000 androids to assist law enforcement departments.

### *Project 90*

Cyberlife began work in simulated reality in 2031, and they selected ex-Blade Runner Joe Holden to be the first to be put into it. Cyberlife hired Jeremy Crane to drug and weaken Joe before they murdered him.

### 2038

In 2038, CyberLife had five stores across the city, e.g. in Greektown, Capitol Park, and Hart Plaza.

In 2038, the first CyberLife zoo in Detroit opened on November 5, showcasing hundreds of species, most of them extinct, on over 100 acres of natural environments; among them were polar bears, leopards, elephants, and two blue whales. CyberLife also announced the opening of eleven new android zoos all over the country.

Another android zoo that was set to open in 2038 was the first android zoo in Los Angeles, which would exhibit all species gone extinct in the last 30 years.

In 2038, CyberLife has officially become the world's first trillion dollar company, "with more than fifty million androids sold in America alone" (reported by Channel 16 on November 8).

### Deviancy outbreak, year 2038

In 2038, following an ever-increasing series of android malfunctions and peculiar behaviors, CyberLife made investigations into the phenomenon they termed "deviancy". For this, they deployed their latest android model, a RK800 "Connor" prototype, and sent it to assist the Detroit City Police Department. Its mission, supervised by Amanda, was to investigate deviancy and later on to stop the android uprising. Connor turns deviant, and this is claimed to have been planned, to ingratiate Connor with the uprising as an unknowing sleeper agent before resuming control of him later for their own purposes. Connor is later able to break their connection and lead the Android Rights Movement.
