ChatGPMe project preview

A game where you are the AI: respond to prompts while sounding as much like a language model as possible.

A self-aware AI wrapper

At Hack the North 2024, our team wanted to avoid building another predictable GPT wrapper. Our answer was to make the player become the wrapper.

Inspired by games like Overcooked, ChatGPMe asks players to write answers to everything from life advice to emotional support, then scores how convincingly AI-like each response sounds.

Technical specifications

We built the game in Unity with a Flask backend for grading responses. It uses a 2.5D top-down perspective: two-dimensional art in a three-dimensional game world.

  • Unity map, physics, triggers, and player-object interaction
  • TextMeshPro-based reactive typing system
  • A Flask API using embeddings to assess syntax, sentiment, and coherence
  • Custom UI and game assets

Lessons learned

The hardest part was balancing gameplay with AI-driven mechanics: grading human text in real time is not trivial. Future directions included multiplayer, a better scoring algorithm, and lower response latency.
