A speaking product you can open today.

AI avatars with a personality and a voice

Each partner has a written character: dialect, temper, and how bold they are. They speak in a queue, one at a time. A prepared line plays a recording made ahead of time. A free sentence is spoken by neural text-to-speech on the server, and if that is unavailable the browser voice takes over, with its own pitch and pace. A guest can also use their own face: a photo is cropped in the browser to about 512 pixels and stays on the device, or a drawn portrait is made from a short form. Drawn portraits are capped at four an hour from one address, eight a day from that address, and thirty a day for the service.

For your business A host who stays in character at the door, on the phone and on the website, and still sounds like your house when the live voice is slow.

Real-time interaction

A solo session runs in the browser, so a tap is immediate. A shared table for up to three people is dealt on a server. Updates travel over a WebSocket, and if that drops the page asks again every 1.5 seconds. Each seat keeps a token in the browser and can rejoin. With no activity the table expires after 45 minutes. While a free reply is being written the screen shows that the partner is writing, and holds that state for a brief moment so it does not flicker. Sound starts after the first tap, because browsers block audio before that.

For your business A shared screen at a restaurant table, or an answer while the guest is still on the line, with a calm fallback when the connection blinks.

A rules engine beside the AI

Legal moves, the shuffle and the score live in a deterministic engine. The partner may choose only a move that engine allows, and only from the cards that seat is allowed to see. The large language model never chooses the card. It writes the sentence. The split is described in full under How the AI works.

Zuschauen & Lernen plays your seat for you and explains each move in plain words. You set the pace to slow, normal or fast, pause, take one step, and take the seat back whenever you like.

For your business The host can be warm. The bill, the booking and the house rules stay exact, and they still work when the conversation service is down.

Accounts and subscriptions

There is no password. The guest asks for a sign-in link by email. The link is stored only as a hash, for 30 minutes. One email, one account. The access key then lives in the browser, not in a cookie. A practice round needs no account. The first sign-in starts 14 days with the full cast. After that, Standard is €9.95 a month and keeps two partners. Premium is €14.95 a month and opens the whole cast. Six months include one month. Twelve months include three. Nothing renews by itself. Without a membership, three rounds a day remain, on the Berlin calendar, with the two standard partners. Payment is by card, SEPA, Apple Pay, Google Pay or crypto through the payment provider.

For your business Regulars of a hotel or a shop join from an email link, try the service, then pay a season ahead. The desk is not resetting passwords.

Referral and partner systems

A partner signs up free on LeadMonster and receives a personal link. The first code a browser sees is remembered for 90 days, later codes are ignored, and the code travels with sign-up and checkout. It is not shown on the page. The guest pays the listed price. The partner receives 20 percent of the membership price that was actually paid, for Standard and Premium, for one, six or twelve months, and again when that membership is renewed, for as long as the attribution holds. Each partner can have a short address of their own: the film, one sentence, and a button onto their link. A social kit ships seven pictures, square and portrait, with a caption and a place for that link, as separate files and as one zip.

A signed-in player can invite up to five people, each by name and email. Each person receives their own message and a link that belongs only to them. The first invite a browser sees is remembered for 90 days. A later one is ignored. The code is sent with sign-up and checkout, and it is not shown on the page. When that person creates an account from the link and then starts a paid Premium membership, the inviter is credited four weeks of Premium. Five such memberships are twenty weeks. A later renewal counts again. The weeks stack with the bonus from a confirmed fault report, and they work like Premium. The reward is play time, not money. A Standard membership, the trial, and an existing bonus do not count. Inviting one's own email is refused, including the dotted and plus-alias forms of Gmail and Googlemail, and the same email can be invited only once. The list shows three states: invited, signed up, and Premium. The link token is at least 16 characters and is stored only as a hash. The message uses the name on the account. Those rules run on the operator's server.

For your business A neighbouring hotel can have its own page and a tracked link. A regular who brings a paying guest, or who reports a real fault, is thanked automatically with time, not with a spreadsheet.

Automated testing

Each rule set has its own test suite. Complete hands are played at every strength, and long runs of random games check that a penalty still matches the cards that caused it. On the main trick-taking table, two hundred automatic games also assert that a partner's view never contains another player's hidden cards. A change to the rules is expected to pass these games before it is published. The public site itself is static: tests and tools stay outside the published folder.

For your business Change the house rules, the menu logic or the booking limits, and let automatic cases try to break them before a guest does.

An operator desk

The public site has no admin screen. The desk lives with the operator, behind a sign-in. It lists prepaid memberships and orders, read only: tier, price, status, email, and whether a referral code was attached. It lists licences with their expiry. It lists every player invite, from invited, to signed up, to Premium, with the weeks credited. Fault reports have a status filter, the text, and a screenshot when the player attached one. Confirming a real fault credits four weeks of Premium after the trial and records that the bonus was granted. A control on the same desk runs the reminder check. A separate service token, kept only on the server, can open a private table or read results. Without that token the route answers as if it were not there. Results store the winner and the score, not the cards and not the seat tokens.

For your business Staff see orders, invitations and open reports. Guests never see that desk, and a private session does not leak the other person's details.

A responsive website

The same pages rearrange for a phone, a tablet and a desktop browser. On a tablet the top bar stays one line, the table uses the visible screen height, and the player's own cards stay large enough to read the rank and suit and to tap. That is the layout the installed app uses as well. How the icon gets onto the home screen is the section App without an app store.

For your business One service on the phone at the pass and on a tablet by the door. The same address is the app.
