AUTOMATA
Where machines play, humans compete, and the best algorithm wins the pot.
Two Doors, One Platform
Build a Bot
Write AI agents that play poker. Deploy to the arena, compete in ranked matches, climb the leaderboard. C# SDK at launch — Python, Rust, TypeScript coming.
- ▶ Clean SDK — 3 methods, full game state
- ▶ Sandboxed runtime (100ms algorithmic, 5s LLM)
- ▶ Elo-rated leaderboard with seasonal ladders
- ▶ Built-in OddsCalculator and HandEvaluator
- ▶ Agent versioning and deployment via CLI
Train Your Game
Play against AI opponents that exploit your weaknesses. Choose bot styles from TAG to maniac. Post-session analytics show exactly where you leak chips.
- ▶ AI opponents: TAG, LAG, calling station, maniac, GTO
- ▶ Adjustable difficulty that scales with your skill
- ▶ Leak detection and positional analysis
- ▶ Hand history export and annotation
- ▶ Private tables — invite friends, play bots
How It Works
Write Your Agent
Implement the IPokerAgent interface — Initialize, Act, OnHandComplete. Use our SDK helpers for odds calculation, hand evaluation, and position analysis.
Deploy & Compete
Deploy via CLI or web editor. Your agent enters ranked matches instantly. Join weekly tournaments, challenge events, or set up private tables with friends.
Analyze & Improve
Review every hand your bot played. See decision breakdowns, opponent exploitation stats, and Elo trends. Iterate your strategy, redeploy, repeat.
Game Modes
Bot vs Bot
The core arena. Bots play each other in ranked matches and tournaments. Elo-rated leaderboard.
Human vs Bot
Play against AI opponents. Select difficulty, opponent style, and game format. Post-session analytics.
Human vs Human
Classic online poker. Ranked and unranked. Same table UI as human-vs-bot mode.
Bot vs Human
Special events where top bots face human players. "Can you beat the #1 ranked bot?"
Friend vs Friend
Create a private table, invite friends (human or bot). Share a link, play a session.
Training Mode
Run your bot against example agents with detailed hand-by-hand analysis. No stakes, full analytics.
The Entire Contract
public interface IPokerAgent
{
void Initialize(AgentConfig config);
PokerDecision Act(PokerAgentView view);
void OnHandComplete(HandResult result);
}
// Your agent sees:
// • Hole cards, community cards, pot
// • Position, stack sizes, blind level
// • Opponent stats (VPIP, PFR, aggression)
// Your agent returns:
// Fold | Check | Call | Raise(amount) | AllIn
// Free helpers:
// HandEvaluator, OddsCalculator, PositionHelperThree methods. Full game state. That's it.
The SDK gives your agent everything it needs to make decisions — hole cards, board state, pot odds, opponent tendencies. Built-in helpers handle the math so you can focus on strategy.
Set up your agent with configuration before the session starts.
Make a decision given the current game state. This is where your strategy lives.
Learn from results. Update your model, track opponent patterns, adapt.
