Cool, but yes you can render whatever you want as long as you register an MCP resource and use it as part of a tool call. It is just html in an iframe.
i am increasingly going schizo, where every single thing I post/see posted gets copied and karma farmed on social media. further, any novelty I share with an llm gets eaten/absorbed by the harness as a feature.
Was a little disappointed that this didn't result in the agent playing Doom itself over MCP.
Still this is very cool! (And if that had been what you'd implemented, my disappointment would have been that it wasn't the reverse. :P Can it do both?)
Great work. I wonder what the future "can it run doom ?" Will it be: Can it run AGI on a new quantum processor/ robot / bio-engineered cell. Or will it be Doom all the way down...
Snake and DOOM were two of our early tests (for filter functions and MCP) when we stood up Open WebUI for internal chat/agent use. Sometimes games are the best way to limit-test new tech.
The title is misleading. This is in ChatGPT but not on ChatGPT. It's not running on AI. It's running on a site that serves an AI chatbot.
Still very cool though.
I suppose most people don't know this, but you can render web resources into chat harnesses via MCP apps [1]. The actual DOOM part of this runs on [2].
It took me a reread and some thinking to realize what was going on. The 'MCP app' he's referring to here is basically a browser front-end replacement like electron. So what he's doing here is running DOOM as apart of that browser run-time and passing it through to the front-end. It's less "playing DOOM through the AI" and more "Playing DOOM while the AI can watch".
