Crowd-directed gameplay / In progress

SlopFight

Can a crowd direct a great AI fight?

Two teams write the moves. AI turns their ideas into a shared video fight. We’re exploring whether players can recognize their own attacks, react to each other, and reach an ending that makes sense.

The field notes follow the actual experiments: complete fights, lost move details, awkward pauses, and attempts to make the action feel connected.

Podcast / Personal AI

Already Here Show

People already living with personal AI.

Michael Galpert meets people already living with personal AI in everyday life. Each episode looks closely at what they built, the boundaries they chose, and what changed once the system became part of the way they work or live.

We also built an open-world 3D game for the show. Its cover art becomes a place to explore, meet other visitors, and watch episodes on screens throughout the world.

Fable Delegator

Different AI tools. One shared task.

A set of skills for having Claude plan and review while other coding-agent tools implement. The experiment is in delegation that holds up: choosing a tool, passing it the work, and independently checking what actually happened.

Voice

Chatphone.ai

What if a text could take care of the call?

Describe what you need and give Chatphone a number. It’s designed to make the call on your behalf—for an appointment, a reservation, or a cancellation.

The question behind it: can AI turn a written request into a useful action through a real phone conversation, with less effort from you?
