Picking a game, teaching it, and pausing to argue over the rules eats the evening. At a venue, that's tables sitting idle or leaving early.
Who it's for
- Board game cafés, stores, and clubs
- Families and gaming groups
- Facilitators using game-based learning
What it does
- Scan a barcode or snap the box and Table GM builds your shelf and learns your games
- Tell it who's playing and how long you have; it recommends tonight's game
- It teaches the rules out loud and settles questions with the exact rule, cited
- Venue mode: customers scan a QR to browse your shelf, check in on a live board, and play with your AI game master, no app to install
- Inventory and waitlist, custom branding, and marketing tools for the floor

Table GM is an AI game master for board games. Add your shelf by scanning a barcode or snapping the box, tell it who’s at the table and how long you’ve got, and it recommends a game the whole group will enjoy. Then it teaches the rules out loud and referees as you play, citing the exact rule when a question comes up, so nobody spends the evening flipping through a rulebook.
At the café, store, or club
Venue mode puts the same game master on every table. Customers scan a QR code to browse your shelf, check in on a live engagement board (with a big-screen view for the room), and play with your AI game master without installing anything. You pay for the venue plan; your customers play free. Inventory and waitlist tools, custom branding, and marketing tools round it out, so more tables fill and stay longer.
Why we built it
Table GM is where a lot of our thinking about narrative, engagement, and feedback loops gets tested before it shows up in client work. It’s also a working example of the layer we build for organizations: knowledge management, onboarding, and enculturation.
A shelf of games is a body of institutional knowledge, and the game master is how it gets found and used. Teaching a new game to a mixed table in a few minutes is onboarding. House rules and the way a regular group plays are culture, and the game master carries them so they don’t leave when a person does. Get everyone playing, keep the group together, settle questions without stalling the room: that’s the job in a new-hire program, a workshop, or a client’s LMS, too.
The AI suggests. The table decides.
