OUIJ-AI

Behind the board

An online Ouija board, powered by AI.

A familiar board. An unexpected conversation. OUIJ-AI pairs the atmosphere of a séance with AI characters inspired by people from the past.

Try the Ouija board

You ask Leo Tolstoy “How should I live?”

The experience

What is OUIJ-AI?

OUIJ-AI is an interactive AI Ouija board you can use in your browser. Choose a departed historical figure, ask a question, and watch the planchette move across the board to spell out a short response. The planchette is the pointer that travels between the letters, numbers, and words on the board.

Replies are powered by Anthropic’s Claude AI and shaped by your chosen character and conversation. Ask Shakespeare for a thought on love, or Einstein about time. Each character brings a different voice to the same mysterious setting.

This is a creative simulation for entertainment. The “spirits” are AI characters, and their answers are imagined, not messages from the dead or authentic quotations.

Your first séance

How to use the Ouija board

  1. Choose a name

    Open the board and enter the name of a deceased person, such as William Shakespeare or Albert Einstein. The app checks the name before starting your session.

  2. Ask a question

    Type your question and send it, or use the microphone if your browser supports voice input. A short, specific question is a good place to start.

  3. Follow the planchette

    Watch the pointer spell the AI’s reply or move to YES, NO, or GOODBYE. Read the response in the chat history, then ask a follow-up question to continue the conversation.

Before you begin

A few questions, answered

Does this online Ouija board contact real spirits?

No. Every reply is generated by an AI language model. OUIJ-AI creates the mood of a spirit board as an interactive storytelling experience.

Can I use OUIJ-AI on my phone?

Yes. The board adapts to phones, tablets, and desktop browsers. You can type questions on any of them; microphone support depends on your browser and its permissions.

Do I need to install anything?

No download is required. Open the board in your browser and choose a name to begin.

Can I return to my conversation?

Your recent session is saved in your browser for five minutes. Return in the same browser within that window to pick up the conversation. After it expires, you can begin a new session.

The people behind it

Made for the curious

OUIJ-AI was created by Evgeny Vinnik, building on the original Ouija board project by Baobab Koodaa. It explores how a simple, familiar interface can turn an AI conversation into something playful and atmospheric.
