> Start with a picture. See where it goes. Explorable worlds grown from a single picture. Click anything in the frame, choose what happens, and watch the moment play as film. Every path you take is saved for the next visitor.
diiverge.co is a series of AI-generated, point-and-click interactive worlds. Each volume begins with one seeded picture. A visitor clicks a thing in the frame, chooses one of the events offered for it, and the next scene is generated as a new frame with a short film of the moment between. Every path taken is saved as a branch of the volume, and the volume's map shows every branch. Made by @charliie (https://x.com/charliie).

## Questions
### What is diiverge.co?
A series of explorable worlds, each grown from a single picture. A volume starts as one seeded image and becomes a persistent point-and-click adventure: click anything in the frame, choose what happens to it, and AI generates the next scene and a short film of the moment in between. Every path anyone takes is saved, so each world grows as visitors explore it.
### How do I play?
Click something in the picture; the glowing dots mark what you can interact with. Choose what happens to it, and a new scene is generated while the moment in between plays as a short film. Keep going, or go back. Every path is saved, anyone who visits later can follow it, and the volume's map shows them all.
### Does it cost anything to play?
No. Playing is free, and replaying scenes others have already carved needs nothing at all. Generating a new scene costs real money, so each volume of the series comes with a fixed number of free scenes and stops growing once they are used up. Sponsors add more, for everyone.
### What happens to the paths I take?
They stay. A scene you carve becomes part of the volume for good: the next visitor can walk the same path, the map shows every branch taken so far, and a shared link lands on the exact scene it points to.
### Can I make my own adventure?
Yes. The studio turns any photo, painting or screenshot into an explorable world of your own. Sign in with your email, buy scenes in packs, and share the link when you are ready. Your adventure stays private until you share it.
### What does sponsoring a volume do?
A sponsorship adds scenes to a volume of the series, for everyone. Pick a tier, from $25, and it adds about 2 scenes per dollar to the volume you choose. Those scenes never expire, and the sponsor's name goes on the volume's frames.
### How is each scene made?
A segmentation model cuts the things in the frame out and makes them clickable, a vision model decides what each thing is and what it might do, an image model paints the chosen event's aftermath as the next frame, and a video model renders the moment between the two frames as film. A judge model reads the story so far and cuts any choice that breaks its continuity.
