Vivacity

Building now

A runtime where agents can act on a world, branch its future, and check the outcome.

A circular orbit. Change the velocity, then compare the futures.

Interactive two-body model running in your browser. Illustrates Vivacity’s runtime loop; no production API connection.

Inside the runtime

Run a short, inspectable policy example in the browser. The physics executes here; the agent policy is illustrative, not production AI.
