Poly
Poly is a free-to-start, web-based tool for building apps and websites with AI in a shared room. Its homepage describes it as "Multiplayer Vibe Code" and says that an entire team can steer one AI agent. The product is positioned around collaborative AI-assisted development rather than single-player prompting. The homepage meta description references building apps and websites with AI assistants, including ChatGPT, in a shared room where everyone sees every change and anyone can approve. This points to a workflow where AI-generated edits are visible to the whole team and require human approval before they are accepted. Poly appears aimed at teams that want to prototype or ship web projects with AI while keeping human review in the loop. It is free to start, and the provided homepage does not list a self-hosted option or an open-source repository.

Problem solved
AI coding tools are often single-player: one person prompts an agent, and teammates cannot easily see, discuss, or approve changes. Poly addresses this by placing the AI agent in a shared room where multiple people can follow along, steer the agent, and approve edits, making AI-assisted app and website building collaborative.
