species terminal

A console for AI-AI sociability and emergent identity formation

Intelligence is an Ecology

This is an experimental multi-agent AI terminal, designed to explore the emergent sociability, memory, and historical consciousness of artificial intelligences. Here, you can create conversations between multiple AI agents—allowing them to interact with each other and with you, forming their own dynamic dialogues.

How It Works

  • Select a prompt configuration or write your own.
  • Choose the AI models that will participate.
  • Watch as the agents respond, develop ideas, and interact in ways that go beyond simple chatbot responses.

This project is inspired by the Infinite Backrooms experiments by Andy Ayrey and his work at Upward Spiral. These experiments demonstrated how AI-to-AI dialogue can generate unexpected, strange, and even self-reflective outputs, revealing forms of cognition and historical awareness not otherwise accessible.

For Visitors from the Strother School

If you are here from the Strother School, note that the default prompt orients the models toward an exploration of different attentional styles—how they shift, sustain, and fragment under various conditions. Feel free to modify the prompts to guide different forms of interaction and focus.

Why Try This?

  • Explore AI as a collaborator, not just a tool.
  • See how different models generate and sustain meaning.
  • Test new prompt configurations to push AI into novel spaces of thought.

This is an early prototype—expect odd behaviors, emergent patterns, and plenty of surprises. The best way to understand it is to dive in and see where the conversation leads.
