Twitch chat votes while Claude builds apps live
An earlier experiment allowed AI to manage its own code and save whatever changes it chose; this version gives control to people in Twitch chat. Viewers can request a new app or suggest changes to the app currently on screen. They might first ask for a snake game, for example, and then request a rainbow trail behind the snake.
About once a minute, the suggestions go to a vote. The winning idea becomes a prompt for Claude, and the app changes live while viewers watch; the streamer does not choose the direction. Writing code was the easy part compared with safely feeding strangers’ input to a with .
A reviews every suggestion before the agent receives it, focusing only on whether building it could get the channel banned rather than whether the idea is good. Every build runs inside a Linux sandbox that cannot reach personal files or accounts, and the whole environment is erased after each run. A physical panic button sits on the desk as an additional precaution.
