Overview / Description
Altiverse is an AI simulation tool that forks a single decision into 2-4 alternate realities and runs them forward as living worlds for decision-makers and policy analysts. Instead of guessing at outcomes, you set a choice (a school policy, a workplace change, a healthcare protocol) and watch up to ~1,000 simulated people with their own personalities, relationships, and moods react differently across parallel timelines. The simulation is deterministic: it uses seeded randomness (Mulberry32 PRNG) so the same seed reproduces an identical world, which makes runs replayable and auditable. Default metrics include Focus, Grades, Trust, Stress, Burnout, Rule-breaking, Conflict, and Corner-cutting, and you can customize them to your scenario. Character cards show how a single person fares across every reality, causal-chain analysis links a policy to its consequence and second-order effects, and divergence visualization shows exactly when and why the worlds split. An optional AI layer generates scenarios, in-character thoughts, and written reports via an OpenAI-compatible client. Altiverse runs entirely in the browser (Vite + React + TypeScript), with no backend, no telemetry, and localStorage persistence, so nothing is uploaded; it even works offline without an API key. Results export to Markdown or PDF. It is open source under the MIT license, so it can be self-hosted and forked.

Pros & Cons
Pros
- Forks a decision into 2-4 parallel realities with up to ~1,000 simulated agents that have personalities, moods, and relationships
- Deterministic, seeded simulation (Mulberry32 PRNG) so runs are fully reproducible and replayable
- Causal-chain analysis and divergence visualization show when and why timelines split
- Runs entirely in-browser with no backend or telemetry; works offline and exports to Markdown/PDF
- Open source under the MIT license, so it can be self-hosted and forked freely
Cons
- Simulated agents and metrics are models, not validated forecasts, so outputs need human judgment
- Optional AI features require connecting your own OpenAI-compatible LLM provider and key
- Browser-only with localStorage means no built-in team sync or cloud collaboration
- Aimed at technical/analytical users; setup is heavier than a hosted SaaS app
