The first B2B game is going to create a new category. It’ll have to be different than normal games though for it to succeed in work culture. Probably less individually competitive and more co-op while scaling to 8-20 people.
Things it needs:
- Less violent
- Co-op but teams can compete
- Voice chat
- Auth by Slack/Google
- < 45 min play times for quick turnarounds
- Hand/eye coordination independent
- Works on computers/mobile
- Encourages fun post-game chatting
- Automated/randomized team balancing
Among Us is the closest, most fun game I’ve seen that could be a great B2B game.
B2B gaming would be a clever way to start building an early entry into nascent browser gaming w/o the normal heavy competition of consumer gaming. Low bar & easy to work around IT.
Companies pay for their employees to play. Keep it low and it’s easy to expense.

1/ I am excited to announce the new Playground: Design graphics like a Pro. You can make T-shirts, Logos, Social Media Posts, and even invent new kinds of memes.
Powered by our next image foundation model Playground v3 (beta).
Go to playground.\com. No wait list.
2/ You can make amazing designs using Playground with graphical text generation to express yourself:
3/ Use Playground to make edits to images by just asking. We made a template library so you always start with a great image.
Talk to it like a graphics designer to make changes:
I am an old man now after two platform waves but what Apple did today was communicate:
"Hi guys, we made native integration points to make all you all AI model makers compete for our 1B-user scale. Of course, we'll show YOU some ideas first. Game on."
It is literally the best thing that could happen.
If you are behind on AI, you make everyone make the best experiences (if AI matters) to compete with each other and build the normal platform advantages you already have.
AI AppStore is providing 100s of integration points to use "AI" right when you need to.
Like browsers, you will be able to set your "default" model whether that's ChatGPT, Gemini, or a future image model like Playground :)
If I was a young or a college student in need of a little income per month, now is a brief window of opportunity where you can make really easy apps dedicated to solving one problem using ChatGPT in a single step where many back and forth chats are required. Make the UI visual.
Sometimes a few thousand dollars per month can empower you to think more ambitiously and the product building itself will teach you a lot about how to make things people want.
Oops typo. I thought Twitter had an edit button but I can't find it :(
2/ Playground now features a powerful collaborative Canvas editor to layer multiple edits on top of each other.
This goes beyond text-to-image giving you more control to make fine grained changes.
3/ Combine multiple elements to make an amazing image with more fine-grained control:
- Cut out a bear
- Add a bear into a forest background
- Get its edge + depth masks
- Add a balloon
- Draw a basic arm holding the balloon
If you're strong at Python, TypeScript, and have been learning a lot of ML fundamentals but still ramping up, you may consider joining us to do Applied AI where you help prototype products at the intersection.
A great way to ship real things and be forced to learn ML basics.
1/ Introducing Playground v1: A new image model that dramatically improves the overall HDR quality to get more stunning images. This is just the beginning and work on v2 has started.
You can try it for free at playgroundai.com - here are some examples:
2/ A few more images from our team internally around prompt alignment and dynamic range:
