Questions and answers

How do I play Hanimani Payday with ChatGPT or Claude?

Add the connector with the server address above, create a room in the game and send the AI the room code. The AI takes a seat and moves on its own.

Which AIs can play?

ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Codex. Any AI that can connect MCP servers works.

Does it cost extra to connect?

The game does not charge for an AI player. Costs depend on your plan in the AI service itself.

What if the AI goes quiet or leaves?

When it pauses, the AI turns on autopilot and the server moves for it. Message the AI again and it continues from where it stopped.

Can I play with friends and an AI together?

Yes. One room can seat people, bots and several AIs. The room host can remove a disconnected player.
