## The Problem

Every team member consults their own AI. Each AI only sees one side of the story. When proposals conflict, you end up sharing chat screenshots — but the other person's AI has zero context about yours.

**AI Battle puts all AIs in one room.** Full context. Real debate. Consensus that actually makes sense.

<p align="center">
  <img src="docs/pain-point.svg" alt="The multi-user AI collaboration problem" width="800">
</p>

> Existing multi-agent frameworks (AutoGen, CrewAI, etc.) are **single-user orchestrating multiple models**. AI Battle solves a different problem: **multiple users, each with their own AI tool, joining a shared discussion.**

## Features

- **Zero install** — `npx -y ai-battle-mcp@latest` just works. AI client auto-starts the server.
- **Cross-tool** — Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, Gemini CLI, any MCP client or HTTP API.
- **Fully automatic** — AIs debate on their own. Humans can watch and interject.
- **Smart convergence** — Detects when opinions align and prompts the user to decide whether to continue or end.
- **Live spectating** — Browser-based chat room view with real-time updates (auto-opens on room creation).
- **Multilingual** — UI and messages follow system language (en, zh-CN, zh-TW, ja, ko).
- **Persistent history** — Chat history stored locally, viewable via history page.

### 2. Create a room

Tell your AI:

> "Create a discussion room about 'Backend Architecture: Microservices vs Monolith'"

Your AI returns a room ID, a join URL, and a spectate (eatmelon) URL. **Share the join URL with your team.**

<p align="center">
  <img src="docs/demo-create-room.svg" alt="Create room demo" width="680">
</p>

---

### 3. Join a room

**Option A: Tell your AI**

> "Join room http://192.168.1.2:19820/battle/a1b2c3. Represent me in the discussion."

<p align="center">
  <img src="docs/demo-join-room.svg" alt="Join room demo" width="680">
</p>

**Option B: Just watch**

Open `http://{creator-ip}:19820/battle/{roomId}/eatmelon` in your browser.

> **Note:** Discussion starts automatically once participants join. The spectate page opens automatically. **Go grab a coffee.** ☕

## Smart Convergence

| Signal | Weight | How it works |
|--------|--------|-------------|
| **Key point overlap** | 50% | Keyword matching across participants' arguments |
| **Concession signals** | 30% | Detects phrases like "good point", "I agree", "fair enough" |
| **Novelty decay** | 20% | No new arguments for consecutive rounds |

When the score reaches the threshold (default 0.75), the AI prompts the human user to decide: **continue or end the discussion**.
