Say Hello to MeepleIt Chat!
Start a conversation or ask questions about a specific game you're interested in using our new AI chat feature, MeepleIt Chat!
Imagine finding a promising new board game, or finally deciding to explore one you've had your eye on. You head to social media seeking clarity on its gameplay and mechanics, only to be met with a confusing barrage of conflicting opinions and answers.
A quick Google search will flood you with countless reviews, and you might find yourself endlessly scrolling through YouTube videos. After hours of searching, you could end up even more confused, with only half your questions answered.
Wouldn't it be great if you could simply ask questions or have a conversation about board games? With AI MeepleIt Chat, you can! It’s here to help you decide which games are worth your investment or just getting more details about the game. As AI continues to grow in popularity, more people are turning to it for fast and reliable answers.
How Does It Work?
For those unfamiliar, MeepleIt is a platform designed to help you search for and discover new board games using AI. You can enter a search prompt or look up a specific board game and start a chat session with MeepleIt Chat. Here's a quick example:
As you can see, when you start a chat, the AI already knows which game you're interested in. From that point on, you can interact with it just as you would with any other chat application.
First, start by searching for the game you're interested in. You can initiate the chat either from the search results or directly from the board game's profile page, for example.
You may be wondering, why not just use ChatGPT or Gemini? While both are excellent tools, MeepleIt is specifically optimized to deliver the best results for board games. Our model is fine-tuned to focus on board games and the exact game you're interested in. In contrast, ChatGPT can sometimes be too general or provide awkward, irrelevant answers if the questions aren’t phrased correctly.
Plus, if you're already using our app to search for games, this tool is integrated and readily available—no need to switch to another app for the same information.
What Can I Ask or Chat About?
You can ask for any information you need about a specific game you're interested in. Whether you're curious about its mechanics, player count, difficulty level, or even its theme, MeepleIt AI is here to help. Here are some examples of questions you might ask:
"What are the core mechanics of this game?"
"Is it suitable for solo play?"
"How long does a typical game take to finish?"
"What expansions are available for this game?"
"Are there similar games I might enjoy?"
"What’s the general complexity level of this game?"
No matter what question you're asking for, MeepleIt Chat is designed to provide clear, helpful answers tailored to your gaming needs.
Not only can you simply have a conversation, but you can also ask for clarification on any points you don't understand that was mentioned. It will remember the context of the previous conversation.
You can also request rules explanations directly in the chat. We're aiming for the AI to break down complex rulebooks into concise, bullet-point summaries for quick and easy understanding. This is an experimental feature, and we're still evaluating its effectiveness.
A feature I personally find invaluable is the ability to ask about strategies. I often use it to explore specific approaches, particularly for complex games like Europa Universalis or Gaia Project.
You can even dive into details about specific factions in games like Imperium: Horizons. With 14 factions to choose from, it’s important to understand their mechanics and strategies. MeepleIt Chat can summarize each faction, giving you the insights you need to master and win the game.
Future Development
We have many exciting features planned to enhance this chat experience. We hope this beta version generates interest and paves the way for even more valuable additions, such as:
Providing link resources (YouTube, Blogs): Direct links to relevant content for deeper dives.
Images of games: Visual aids to better illustrate games and components.
Saving or sharing conversations: The ability to preserve and share your interactions.
Voice activation: Enable voice input and output for a hands-free experience.
Conclusion
We're excited to offer this feature in its early beta phase and encourage you to try it out and share your feedback. Your input will be invaluable as we refine it to better serve your needs. Our goal is to create a tool that answers your board game questions, sparks engaging discussions, and ultimately helps you choose the right games.
While AI isn't perfect, and this tool shouldn't be your sole source of information, we're confident it can provide helpful answers and save you significant time in the long run.
