Noam Zoin, a 16-year-old high school student from Petah Tikva, has developed Plaxzy, a platform that allows users to create and share full computer games using artificial intelligence without prior coding knowledge. With guidance from his father, Shlomi Zoin, an experienced tech entrepreneur, Noam aims to make Plaxzy one of the world's largest gaming sites.
Zoin explained that his passion for video games, including titles like Minecraft and Fortnite, inspired him to create his own. Initially, he used tools like ChatGPT to generate code, a process he found time-consuming and less effective than current AI capabilities. As AI technology advanced, so did his skills, enabling him to learn about servers, databases, cloud services, and code management, often with AI assistance and his father's input.
He now primarily uses Claude, which can directly modify game files, for development, game creation, and problem-solving within Plaxzy. His father, who has over 20 years of experience in high-tech and startups, acts as a mentor and advisor, though Noam retains full control over the platform's vision, development, and product management.
Plaxzy, which began as a project to consolidate games he and his friends created, evolved into a community-driven platform. The goal is for users to create games, share them, and inspire others to do the same, fostering organic growth. Currently, the site attracts hundreds of daily visitors, with a significant portion being repeat users, some arriving via Google ads.
Zoin personally creates three to four new AI-generated games daily and handles all marketing, utilizing AI for social media content and outreach to potential partners. The platform's economic model is based on Plax, a virtual currency used for game creation and editing, with plans to integrate it for in-game purchases. While the currency is available, no purchases have been made yet, and the platform remains free to use.
