The multiplayer AI agent: several people, one live session

Yes, multiple people can join the same live AI agent session with Ergod. A shared room is one agent with one conversation, one memory and one workspace: anyone in it adds context by posting it, the next message from anyone redirects the agent from the shared history, the person who asked can stop a turn, and handing a task off is leaving it in the room for whoever picks it up next. Each member spends their own usage. Ergod starts with the people already in a Discord server and gives them a deliberate choice between personal work and a shared room.

The premise

Software is social now, tools are not.

Think about where your ideas actually start. Not in an IDE — in a group chat, at 1am, when someone says "wouldn't it be funny if". Then the idea needs a person who can build it, and time, and the energy to open a laptop. Most ideas die in that gap.

An agent that lives in the chat closes the gap. The idea and the build happen in the same place, in front of everyone, while the conversation is still going. Nobody has to leave to make it and come back to show it.

What it looks like

Four rooms where this actually lands.

D&D and tabletop

A game master the whole party talks to

Dice roll in the open with /roll - 2d6+3 and the like, every result posted where the table sees it - and the narration is Ergod’s own prose. What the party decides lives in the room’s shared memory and files, so the campaign is the same one next week; nothing is tracked for you beyond what you write down. Players talk to it directly. The party shares one world, not five copies of it.

Study groups

One shared set of materials

Someone drops the syllabus, someone else asks for practice questions, a third person asks it to re-explain the bit they missed. Everything lands in one workspace the group reads together.

Friend projects

The joke that becomes a real thing

A tier list maker for the group's hot takes. A bot that tracks who owes who. A leaderboard for the running joke nobody will drop. Built in the channel in minutes, iterated by whoever replies next.

Small teams

A sprint without a standup

A shared workspace where anyone can pick up the thread. The context lives in the channel, so the person who logs on next reads what happened instead of asking.

The room deciding, in a voice channel: two ideas on the table, one vote each, and the winner is what gets built. This is the Discord Activity.
How it works

Your space stays yours. Choose when the work belongs to the group.

Personal and shared work stay separate, and a channel post is not the same thing as publishing a public link:

Everyone gets their own sandboxEveryone gets a personal agent, workspace, memory and history. Choose Just me for new work in a server channel to use yours instead of the channel’s shared room.
Shared room belongs to the groupChoose Shared room when the group should keep building with one agent, history, memory, and workspace. If no choice is saved, Ergod asks before starting and remembers the answer. Messages and replies posted there remain visible to the channel. Publishing a public link is always a separate action.
Nobody needs to pay to join inFriends on the free tier participate fully in any channel session, and hosting one is free too — the session's workspace lives on the host's storage. Nobody gets locked out of the group project for not subscribing.
The channel can have its own characterA Pro user can shape the agent's persona for a channel — a game master for the D&D server, a tutor for the study group. Everyone in that channel talks to that character.
Group social rooms

One agent, three kinds of room.

A group social room is where the multiplayer part happens: a shared conversation that several people are in at once, with one agent that answers all of them. Ergod has three. The term itself is defined on What is multiplayer AI?, and every button of every room is walked through on Shared sessions, three ways.

A Discord channel’s shared roomAny channel can have one. Whoever starts it hosts it on their storage; a Free account hosts up to three Discord channel rooms across servers and Pro hosts more. Joining is never gated, and each person’s messages spend their own usage.
A voice channel, with a game in itThe Discord Activity puts a table in the voice channel: the room proposes, votes, and plays. Ergod takes the other seat in chess, checkers, backgammon and six more board games, and hosts bingo, quiz and party games. All fourteen games.
A web room, from the dashboardOpened from the dashboard by a Pro account, joined by invite code from any account. Same agent, same rules: one history, one workspace, every member paying their own turns. A game table opens for free on any plan, a friend can be invited to it free, and it can be opened to everyone.
Built for a standing community

The room is part of the starting point.

Coding agents can share sessions and work through team channels. Ergod starts with a different everyday setting: people already talking in a Discord server. Each member has a personal sandbox, and the group can choose a channel room with its own history, memory and files.

The useful question is who can see the work, who can continue it, and whose usage it spends. Ergod answers those questions inside the community people already use.

Asked in search

The questions people type.

Can multiple people join the same live AI-agent session, add context, redirect the agent, and hand the task off?

Yes. In Ergod a shared room is one agent with one conversation, one memory and one workspace that every member reads and writes. Anyone in the room can add context by posting it, and the next message from anyone steers the agent from the shared history, so handing a task off is leaving it in the room for the next person. The person who asked can stop a turn mid-way with Stop. In Discord every channel can have a shared room; on the web a room is opened from the dashboard and people join by invite code.

Are there any multiplayer AI tools where several people can work with the same agent at the same time?

Ergod is one. Several people share one agent in a Discord channel, a Discord voice channel (the Activity) or a web room, and each message in the room goes to the same agent with the same history. Usage is metered per person: whoever sends the message spends their own usage, so nobody has to pay for the room and nobody is locked out of it for being on the free tier.

What is multiplayer AI?

Multiplayer AI is an AI agent that several people use together in one shared session, rather than each person having a private chat with it. The agent sees everyone’s messages, keeps one memory and one set of files for the group, and anyone can pick up where the last person left off. Ergod is built this way: the room is the unit, and a person is a member of it.

How do you improve a multiplayer experience with AI bots?

Give the bot the room, not the person. In Ergod the agent lives where the group already talks, so ideas and builds happen in front of everyone, and it can take a seat at the table: it plays chess, checkers, backgammon and other board games as the opponent, and hosts bingo, quiz and party games in a Discord voice channel or a shared web room. House rules are settable, and it keeps a short recap of each match for the next one.
