For the design rationale behind the AI Assist Mark scale, fractal variants, and how Mark dice resolve at the table, see the AI Hardware overview.

This page is the catalogue and pricing; what's for sale, what it costs, and what you can do with it.

Brain-slot Implants; Direct vs Jack

There are two competing flavours of forehead-slot AI implant. Both sit in the same brain-augment slot; you cannot wear both at once.

Flavour	Cost (per assist)	Swappable?	Quirks
AI Implant Direct	1× (e.g. Mk-III = 8,000 cr)	No; permanently bonded to one skill at a fixed Mark.	Cheaper. Locked-in loadout. Best for a specialist.
AI Implant Jack + Jackable assists	2× per assist (e.g. Mk-III jackable = 16,000 cr), plus the Jack hardware itself (5k → 80k).	Yes; pop assists in and out per Op.	More expensive overall. Per-Op flexibility. Best for a generalist.

The Jack is the socket. Jackable assists slot into it. The Jack's Mark caps the effective Mark of any jackable installed (a Mk-V jackable in a Mk-III Jack operates at Mk-III). The Jack also sets the slot count; how many jackable assists you can carry at once.

Jack Mk	Cost (Jack hardware only)	Max assist Mk	Slot capacity
Mk-I	5,000	I	2
Mk-II	10,000	II	4
Mk-III	20,000	III	6
Mk-IV	40,000	IV	8
Mk-V	80,000	V	10

Slot capacity intentionally mirrors the older Neural Interface ladder below; the Jack is a strict superset of that concept and replaces it for new builds. (Existing characters with a Neural Interface are not forced to swap; the two systems coexist mechanically.)

When to pick Direct

You know exactly what skill you'll lean on every Op. You want the cheapest possible per-Mark price. You're not interested in re-tooling between sessions. Buy a Direct implant of your specialist skill.

When to pick Jack

You play a generalist who wants different toolkits per mission; Hacking on the corp infiltration, Triage on the rescue Op, Combat Tactics on the assault. The Jack lets you carry several jackables, swap them at a chop-shop (1 hour) or in the field with the right feat, and re-tool around the mission profile. You pay the doubled per-assist cost for the flexibility.

Android Origin Note

Androids gain a Mk-1 Jack pre-fitted at activation plus one Mk-1 Jackable, via the AI Assists Origin feat; not a Direct implant. Stacking the feat upgrades the Jack Mark or grants more Mk-1 Jackable assists.

Neural Interfaces

Neural Interfaces allow you to embed AI Assistant chips directly into your mental cortex. Each level of Neural Interface has capacity to support a fixed number of AI Assistants.

The advantage of having the AI assistant embedded in such a fashion is numerous.

You gain an Extra Action each round that can only be used to give instructions to one AI Assistant.
The AI Assistant cannot be removed or destroyed without causing your death.
The AI Assistant Includes Query Net, Situation Analysis, Self Preservation, Skill Use and Object Recognition.
The AI Assistant can be enhanced with standard Recording & Storage giving you perfect recall.

AI Neural Interface	Creds	Max Level	Max Packs
Mark I	$2,500.00	1	2
Mark II	$5,000.00	2	4
Mark III	$10,000.00	3	6
Mark IV	$20,000.00	4	8
Mark V	$40,000.00	5	10

AI Assistants

AI Assistants can be installed into any PDA, Robot or Droid. You can even have then installed directly into your body via a Neural Interface. You can use them directly yourself to gain Advantage and a +1 / +5 bonus on your roll, or if possible have them complete the task themselves where thy make there own skill roll with a straight +1 / +5
