House rules

Set the table your way.

Each of these is a knob on the table. Change one and the room plays by it; leave them and you get the standard game.

Pace (none or casual)

Display only. There is no clock; 'casual' shows a gentle reminder to keep moves flowing.

Promotion (queen or ask)

A pawn reaching the last rank becomes a queen, or the page asks which piece.

Draw offers (on or off)

Two people may agree a draw. Games against Ergod are played to a result.

Ergod at the table Takes a seat

In Chess, Ergod takes the other side of the board when nobody else does, and plays it out to a result. It learns from its matches. After each one it keeps a short recap and the lessons in it, and it remembers positions it has seen, so the next match starts with what the last one taught it. Turn on Voice and it says its table lines aloud in the voice you pick — puck, fenrir, lewis, bella, emma, witch, orion, hera, echo, ash or fable. Voice is off until you switch it on, and the switch is yours alone.

New here? What Ergod is

Ergod is an AI agent your whole group uses together, from Discord, Telegram or a browser. Ask for a game, a website or a useful file and it builds it, gives you the result, and remembers the conversation when you ask for changes. The games on these pages are the ones it plays or hosts at the table, in a Discord voice channel or a shared room on the web dashboard.

Start here if agents are new to you · The Discord Activity is where a voice channel plays · The dashboard is where a browser does.

Usage

Enough to play. More to keep playing.

Free

A daily usage allowance that resets every day, no card. Enough for a match or a few, with 1 GB of workspace and one shared channel room you can host yourself.

Pro and Pro+

Pro is 2.5× Free’s daily usage and Pro+ is , pooled so a long game night can spend it in one sitting: more matches a day, longer sessions, and more matches for Ergod to remember you by.

Top up, or bring a key

A one-tap top-up never expires and is spent only after the day’s free usage. With your own provider key the same usage goes about further, on every plan.

Chess is better with someone across the table.

Sign in with Google or Discord and Ergod is seated before you are. Free tier, no card, nothing to install.
