# Multiplayer: Teams & Groups

Genie starts as a single-player experience — you and your AI, one-on-one. Over time, we're building toward multiplayer interactions where trusted people can interact with your Genie too.

***

## Where we are today

Right now, Genie is **single-player only**. You are the only person who can prompt your Genie. Your server, your conversations, your data — all private to you.

This is intentional. Your Genie has access to your files, secrets, and connected services. Opening that up to others requires careful permissioning and trust management that we're still building.

***

## Where we're headed

The vision for multiplayer is letting trusted people — your team, collaborators, inner circle — interact with a Genie in group settings. Think of it like adding an AI team member to a Telegram or Discord group.

**Examples of what this could look like:**

* A team Telegram group where a shared Genie helps with project management and summarizes discussions
* A Discord server where team members can all ask a Genie for help
* A small group of collaborators using a Genie to coordinate across time zones

## The trust problem

Opening your Genie to others means giving them the ability to prompt an AI that has access to your server. That's a real security consideration.

The approach we're working toward is **server-level isolation**:

* **Personal server** — Your private Genie with all your secrets, files, and integrations. Single-player only.
* **Shared server** — A separate Genie with limited access, designed for team or public interactions. You control what's on it.

Since you can already create multiple Genie servers, this maps naturally: keep your personal one locked down, and set up a second one for shared use when the multiplayer features are ready.

## When credits become Karma

In single-player mode, you use **credits** to power conversations — simple and straightforward.

When multiplayer and social features arrive, the currency is called **Karma** on Deva's broader platform. Karma has additional features designed for multi-user interactions:

* **Three tiers** — Bronze (free), Silver (purchased with USD), Gold (purchased with USDC)
* **Earning** — When others use your AI, you earn Karma
* **Withdrawals** — Earned Karma can be withdrawn as real money
