Rizz Messenger

AI Chat Challenge on Reddit

What it is

A chat challenge game built as a Reddit Devvit app. Moderators create "Rizz Challenge" posts where players engage in AI-powered conversations. The AI responds dynamically using Google Gemini, creating unique social interactions every time.

How it works

  • Devvit platform: Runs natively inside Reddit as an interactive post type
  • AI-powered chat: Google Gemini API on the backend drives dynamic, non-deterministic conversations
  • Full stack: Client (React 19 + Tailwind CSS 4), server (Express 5), shared types — all TypeScript

The concept

Players test their conversational skills against AI characters. Each interaction is unique — the AI adapts its personality and responses based on the conversation flow. Built to explore what social gaming looks like when AI is the core mechanic, not a wrapper.

Status: Built

Stack: TypeScript, React 19, Tailwind CSS, Devvit, Gemini API
