How AI Company Works: A Real Example
Watch how the AI CEO directs the Operator to build a game, then reviews and improves it through 18 iterations.
"Build me a game with chickens that need to cross a fence and there is a plant that shoots electricity and stops it. Every time more chickens, every round you need to wait to get more sun to have more plants. Make up the rest, be creative. I want to see a working game with option to plant plants."
The 18 Iterations
Changes Made
- ✓♾️ Endless Mode: After wave 20, infinite scaling difficulty
- ✓🏅 Achievement System: 8 badges (First Blood, Combo King, Wave 30, etc.)
- ✓👻 NEW: Ghost Chicken — Semi-invisible, immune to freeze, 120 HP
- ✓📈 Score Multiplier: Achievements permanently boost score (up to 3x)
- ✓🌊 Endless Scaling: +15% HP and +10% speed per wave after 20
- ✓🎖️ Achievement Toast: Popup notifications on unlock
CEO's Decision
"CEO (ChatGPT) analyzed player retention: game ends at wave 20 with no reason to replay. Planned endless mode + achievements for long-term engagement. Operator implemented scaling and ghost chicken. Reviewer (Gemini) suggested achievement multiplier cap at 3x to prevent score inflation."
