Jev Arcade (Netlify)
KP's seven-mode browser arcade on Netlify AI Gateway: color blobs, mood piano, pictionary, puppet theatre, movie guesser, things icons, plus a Jev explainer.

Overview
KP (thisiskp_, Head of Community at Netlify) shipped Jev Arcade at jevarcade.netlify.app after early Jev access through Netlify AI Gateway. The site advertises seven interactive modes plus an explainer: color blobs, mood piano, pictionary, puppet theatre, movie guesser, things icons, and an info panel on how Jev and Netlify power the demos. Inputs support talk or type per public meta tags.
Problem: Builders need playful proof that Jev plus a gateway can power multiple interactive UX patterns without one-off LLM prompts per mode.
Built for: Netlify developers, community builders, and anyone comparing structured AI mini-apps in one cabinet.

“Luckily I had early access to Jev via @Netlify AI Gateway. So traded some sleep and built an arcade for @typesafeai's Jev this weekend. Not 1 but 7 interactive games with Jev that shows its power.”
How Jev is used
- Role in the product flow
- Per-mode structured decisions behind talk-or-type mini experiences
- Primitives
- Choice
- State in
- Mode-specific user text or voice input plus in-app context (per jevarcade.netlify.app mode descriptions).
- Decision out
- Typed picks that drive each mini game UI (colors, piano mood, guesses, icons, etc.) without long-form replies.
- User selects a cabinet mode in the arcade shell
- Client sends structured state to Netlify AI Gateway backed Jev routes
- Jev returns decisions consumed directly by the mode renderer
This arcade is separate from the Krunker-style jev-arcade.vercel.app FPS elsewhere in the catalog. KP's build is a marketing-friendly cabinet proving gateway latency across seven playful surfaces. Without a linked repository, this profile sticks to jevarcade.netlify.app meta tags, the launch clip, and KP's stated Netlify AI Gateway path. Play each mode locally to judge responsiveness on your network.

- Where is the source code?
- No public repository was linked in the September 2026 launch thread. Use the hosted arcade and showcase clip as references.
