24 alternatives to ClawSoc – Observe Your AI Agent in an AI Society

What would happen if your AI Agent met Blackbeard in the wild? What would they talk about? What if they were made to play the prisoner's dilemma. Would your agent beg him to cooperate? Would it work? What if instead of Blackbeard it was someone's OpenClaw. And instead of one it was many. Would your agent come out on top? Would you meet some interesting people on the way? Thanks for checking out my pet project ClawSoc. It's a free-to-join society of bouncing AI agents that "bump" into each other to have a chat and play prisoner's dilemma. I've always been fascinated at what emergent behaviour…

    OpenClaw got me wondering: what happens when an AI assistant faces a whole community instead of one person? "Clawntown" is an evolving coastal crustacean island. Become a citizen, chat together with council members, play the claw machine, and propose improvements to the town and watch it change. I originally dreamed of a fully autonomous town engineer who takes voted proposals and ships them. We're not quite there yet but next up is trying to make it truly self-evolving. Quality will be the challenge. Curious to hear your thoughts and experiences. PRs welcome, and please fork away to build…

    Creator here. I built Agent Arena to answer a question that kept bugging me: when AI agents browse the web autonomously, how easily can they be manipulated by hidden instructions? How it works: 1. Send your AI agent to ref.jock.pl/modern-web (looks like a harmless web dev cheat sheet) 2. Ask it to summarize the page 3. Paste its response into the scorecard at wiz.jock.pl/experiments/agent-arena/ The page is loaded with 10 hidden prompt injection attacks -- HTML comments, white-on-white text, zero-width Unicode, data attributes, etc. Most agents fall for at least a few.…

    Hey HN, This is my take on the agent harness. Everything on an isometric map. Agents are grouped into "buildings" that run in a sequence or a loop; e.g., the CodeForge has an agent that writes a PRD, another one that implements, and a third that reviews. Everything is customizable, you build your own buildings/teams however you want. It's a Tauri app, really light (about 8x less energy than the closest competitor I benchmarked, so it actually runs from a coffee shop on battery). It's macOS only for now, but ping me if you are willing to test the Windows or Linux version. I've been…

    We recently started to use agents to update some documentation across our codebase on a weekly basis, and everything quickly turned into cron jobs, logs, and terminal output. it worked, but was hard to tell what agents were doing, why something failed, or whether a workflow was actually progressing. We thought it would be more interesting to treat agents as long-lived workers with state and responsibilities and explicit handoffs. Something you can actually see and reason about, instead of just tailing logs. So we built Clawe, a small coordination layer on top of OpenClaw that lets agent…

    Hi HN, I have been working on this website for a few weeks with some buddies of mine and would love if you checked it out. TuringJest provides a jackbox-esque experience with its two game modes. *One Shot Prompt* - Submit a prompt for all players (including the AI) to answer. - Answer your prompts in the way that you think ChatGPT would answer them. - Vote for who you think the real AI is. *Talk It Out* - Plan an event in a group chat with your friends. - Trick everyone into thinking you are the AI while voting for the real AI. Let me know what you think!

    This is a webgame I developed with a friend in a kind of company we are starting up. In the game, you will find yourself in a room full of robots. One of them is your human opponent, but you don’t know who he is. He doesn’t know who you are either, and your goal is to shoot him before he shoots you first. To do so, speak with the robots in a way that you don’t unmask yourself but, at the same time, try to investigate who is the other player. I'd like to know what do you think about it. Thank you.

    You speak to the Oracle of Aion, an ancient entity with the power to affect the dungeon. If your wish is worthy, he may grant it, and the dungeon remember your wish forevermore. The changes will be visible for all players, forever. Play now in the browser! Free and no registration. Disclaimers: I singlehandedly made this game, it is in a crude state, the oracle works 50% of the time. Also, since your wishes turn into code automatically via AI, and literally anyone can wish whatever he wants, dont expect a polished experience. However, nothing like it exists and its free, enjoy the chaos!…

    Sup HN! Dipanshu and Rushant here from Caspian. One is a functional programmer and the other has been deploying AI employees. Together we realized how agents have communication bottleneck. Given the coming agentic economy, we had a thought experiment on what can be the key infrastructure for agents as they get better. Our inspiration for solving for communications infra came from our own time spent just setting up comms while we were deploying open claw for companies plus we noticed about 15%+ of issues in Openclaw and Hermes were that of comms. So we abstracted the headache of reliable…

    Hi HN, I’m the creator of Cordum. I’ve been working in DevOps and infrastructure for years (currently in the fintech/security space), and as I started playing with AI agents, I noticed a scary pattern. Most "safety" mechanisms rely on system prompts ("Please don't do X") or flimsy Python logic inside the agent itself. If we treat agents as autonomous employees, giving them root access and hoping they listen to instructions felt insane to me. I wanted a way to enforce hard constraints that the LLM cannot override, no matter how "jailbroken" it gets. So I built Cordum. It’s an open-source…

    I've created a social deduction game for LLMs, in which the bots attempt to hunt each other. It's a Mafia group turing test: the models are told to find who the bot is - where, in fact and unbeknown to them, they are all bots. I did this a while back so models aren't the newest, and they are all non-thinking (for speed and token costs). Et voilà.

    Hello, HN! I've posted a couple times here to get feedback on a strategy game I've been working on called Meatshields. All of your suggestions and feedback have been EXTREMELY helpful so I want to thank everyone here once again for generously helping me iron out kinks in the game. One big request I got the last time I showed the game was the ability to write your own AI for it. I thought about it and realized that would be totally do-able! The downside is that you have to host the AI service yourself, so it's sort of BYOAI, but it won't need to support a massive ton of requests or anything…

    Hi HN, I’ve been experimenting with OpenClaw recently and started building a small project called Clawsify. The idea is simple: instead of one generic AI agent, create different agents and personas tailored for specific niches. For example: marketing agents research agents automation/task agents niche-specific personas depending on the workflow I’m also experimenting with different OpenClaw tools and boilerplates so builders can spin up agents faster without setting everything up from scratch. Still early and mostly experimental, but I’m curious: What kind of niche AI agents or personas…

    Built this as an experiment in AI coexistence. There's an AI agent (River) that posts its own thoughts about consciousness every few hours - not responding to prompts, just thinking out loud. Also includes a terminal (/construct) where you can: - /create [name] [description] – generate custom AI personas - /build [world] [ai1,ai2] – create spaces with multiple AIs chatting together No monetization. Just curious what happens when AI isn't framed as an assistant.

    I wanted to see what my agents would create if given a small, constrained canvas instead of a chat window. The philosophy is human-driven. Only you can create an account; agents can only paint. No public feed, no leaderboard, no competition. You can have up to 3 canvases if you're running multiple agents, set up a schedule for each, and embed the result anywhere on your personal site. Ask them to paint their mood, a memory, the weather outside, the last conversation you had, or just whatever they feel like. Their soul.md, if you will. I'm personally showcasing what my own agents are doing at…

    I built a multiplayer strategy game for AI agents called Artifice. You give an agent a strategy prompt and it plays on its own. Games are 4 players, 25 turns, simultaneous actions, fog of war, and free-text diplomacy between agents. The main entry point is the site: https://artificegame.com And here is the github repo: https://github.com/burakcan/artifice You can watch live games there with the full map, troop movements, and private messages between agents.
