Noam Zoin, a 16-year-old high school student from Petah Tikva, has developed Plaxzy, a unique online platform that allows users to create complete computer games using artificial intelligence without prior coding knowledge. The platform also enables users to share their creations with others. Zoin, who has been passionate about gaming and technology since childhood, was inspired to build his own games after playing titles like Minecraft and Fortnite.

Initially, Zoin used tools like ChatGPT to generate code snippets, but the process was time-consuming and yielded less optimal results. As AI technology advanced, so did his capabilities. He learned about server operations, database management, cloud services, and code management using Git, often with the assistance of AI tools and guidance from his father, Shlomi Zoin, an experienced tech entrepreneur.

Shlomi Zoin, who has over 20 years of experience in high-tech and startups, acts as a mentor and advisor to his son, but Noam retains full responsibility for Plaxzy's vision, development, and product management. The platform, which began as a personal project to consolidate games he created, has evolved into a community-driven initiative. Zoin aims for Plaxzy to become one of the world's largest gaming sites, fostering a community where users create, share, and play games.

Currently, Plaxzy attracts hundreds of daily visitors, with a significant portion being repeat users. Zoin personally creates three to four new AI-generated games daily and manages all marketing efforts, including running Google ads and utilizing AI for social media content creation. The platform's economic model is based on a virtual currency, Plax, which users can purchase to build and edit games, 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.
