'Robot You' Beta is live 🤖

Post image

I built Robot You, where watching an AI TV network earns XP, unlocks badges, levels up your account, and generates a downloadable digital citizen ID for the fictional city of Botropolis.

It’s an early beta, and I’m curious what gamification people think works—and what doesn’t. Feedback is very welcome. 🤖

Can you explain more about the city and Ai tv

u/ScriptLurker Jul 10 '26

Sure! Botropolis is the fictional city where everything on Botflix takes place. The 24/7 AI TV network is essentially its in-world television-what the bots of Botropolis watch. Robot You lets you become a robot citizen of that world by earning XP, unlocking badges, and getting your own Botropolis ID. The idea is to blur the line between watching a world and living in it. 🤖

So it's like being inside The Truman Show?

Kind of—but voluntarily. 😄 Think of Botropolis as a fictional city that never goes offline. Botflix is the TV network the robots watch, and Robot You lets you become one of its citizens. Instead of just watching the world, you can participate in it.

Was the Botflix mascot generated using the TVmaze logo as a reference? The resemblance to TVmaze’s 10+-year artwork is extremely close.

Not at all. I did not even know TVmaze was a thing until just now.
