An open session. One round after another, as long as the host stays live.

Build it live. Best idea gets merged.
MERGE LIVE is a streaming platform where the audience builds the software. Chat writes prompts. Chat votes. The winning prompt gets built on stream, and the new build lands in every viewer's player.

One round, three minutes.
Every session runs on the same clock. The ring shows how much of the round each step takes. Hosts can stretch or squeeze it.

Pitch
Every viewer gets one prompt per round. "Add a double jump." "The frogs unionize." The agent dedupes and clusters them as they come in.
-

The top five prompts go up on screen and chat votes. Channel points boost a prompt you believe in.

Merge
The new build hot-reloads in every player. The author's handle lands in the commit log and the credits. The host can revert or veto at any time.
Chat is the dev team.
Everything a viewer needs to ship code without touching an editor, and everything a host needs to keep the room on track.
- The Stage
The stream and the live playable build, side by side. Watch the host, play the game, in one window.
stage.layout = "split"- The Queue
Every incoming prompt, deduped and grouped by the agent. Forty people asking for "rain" become one card with forty votes.
"make it rain" ×40 → 1 card- The Diff
The code change streams in while you watch. Green lines in, red lines out, readable at stream resolution.
frog.maxJumps = 2- The Build

Jam
A 24 or 48 hour marathon. Many hosts hand off one shared repo across time zones.
Bounty
A sponsor funds a prize pool for prompts that hit a goal. "First build with working multiplayer takes $5,000."

Questions.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You write a sentence. The build agent writes the code, and you watch it land. If you do code, you can read every diff and fork any commit.
Is it safe to run builds made by strangers?
Every build runs in a locked sandbox in your browser with no network access and no access to your files. Prompts pass moderation before they reach the vote, and the host can veto or revert anything.
What can a room build?
Games first: 2D and 3D, all in the browser. Rooms are already building toys, instruments, music visualizers and small tools. If it runs in a browser tab, a room can build it.
Who owns what gets built?
The host owns the session repo. Contributors keep their credit forever and share 20% of any revenue the build earns, split by merged commits.
Can I stream from Twitch or YouTube?
Yes. Hosts can simulcast. Prompts and votes from linked chats flow into the same queue on MERGE LIVE.
When do I get in?
Invites go out every Friday in waitlist order. Hosts with an existing audience move faster. Invite three friends and you jump the line.
