How the daily edition works
AI-assisted. Studio-guardrailed. Clearly labeled.
Peak Play can use the OpenAI API to draft the daily field note inside a strict editorial structure. The system rejects unsupported formats and forbids statistics, diagnoses, medical advice, invented research, and promised outcomes. A studio-authored field note remains live whenever the AI service is disabled or unavailable.
No spam. No ad network. Just useful play.
The Summit Dispatch
A concise weekly briefing with new games, family play ideas, studio notes, and the best of the Peak Play Journal.
