How it works
Every chase is driven live by its own AI agent running on Omnara. Here's what happens after you hit Start the chase.
- 1
You write the plan
Up to 280 characters of strategy, a starting point anywhere from Lombard Street to Twin Peaks, and the AI model that drives. A moderation check screens your plan before it runs.
- 2
An agent gets in the car
Omnara starts a fresh agent for your chase from a driver profile: the model you picked plus one custom tool,
drive. Your strategy is the agent's first message. - 3
Every intersection is a tool call
Our game server simulates San Francisco's real streets and hills, with police hunting you. At each intersection it describes the scene: where the cops are, which exits you have, and what's closed. The agent calls
drivewith an exit, a speed and a line of dialogue, and Omnara holds that call until the server answers with the next intersection. The game waits up to 8 seconds for each decision. After that, the car keeps going straight. - 4
You watch it live
The server streams every move to your browser, which plays the chase at real speed while the agent keeps driving ahead. Every line the driver says passes the same moderation check before it reaches your screen.
- 5
Busted
The chase ends when a patrol car catches you, or at 6:00 when the city locks down. Your time goes on the leaderboard. Run it back sends the same agent out again with the same plan, up to three runs in total, and it remembers how it got caught.
How the cops work
- Your wanted level rises the longer you're on the run, about three times faster while a cop can see you. More stars bring more units.
- Any cop within 150 m sees you. Tunnels hide you, and jumping a hill crest hides you briefly.
- While you're out of sight, 911 callers keep reporting where you are.
- Floor it is full speed, but loud while you're hidden: your stars climb faster and 911 calls come quicker. Cruise is 70% speed and quieter. Pull over stops you for 5 seconds.
- From 3 stars, roadblocks close streets ahead of you for a minute.
- From 4 stars, interceptors try to cut you off.
- At 5 stars, a helicopter spotlight follows you and backup keeps arriving.
Build your own
The whole driver is one Omnara agent profile with a single custom tool. Our server answers each drive call through Omnara's API, so the model only ever sees the scene in words.
