Game Companion features
What is a "Brain Package"?
A Brain Package is an instant upgrade for a specific game, available from our Brain Store. It includes a massive set of pre-configured voice commands, custom AI responses, and a fine-tuned knowledge base, letting you get started right away.
Which games have Brain Packages?
We currently offer Brain Packages for Windows 11, Minecraft, Helldivers 2, and Star Citizen. Our library is constantly growing, with more games added based on community demand.
Can I customize a Brain Package?
Yes. You can tailor downloaded Brains with your own voice commands, keybinds, and AI responses to suit your playstyle.
Does this work with any game?
Game Companion's voice-command and macro features work with PC games generally. Pre-built Brains add game-specific commands, knowledge, and setup.
Trial, pricing & access

Can trial availability change?
Yes. We may temporarily pause new trials to protect service quality and keep the alpha sustainable. If that happens, we will say so clearly before you sign up.
What are the current managed-service prices?
Explorer is $6 USD per month or $18 quarterly. Crafter is $12 USD per month or $36 quarterly. These plans provide Game Companion's managed AI and speech services; see Pricing for the current comparison.
Are local or bring-your-own providers included today?
Not in the current public offering. Game Companion is presently focused on its managed cloud services and curated game experience. Optional local or bring-your-own-provider paths may be introduced later.

How the managed service works
What does Game Companion do?
It listens for a wake word, answers game questions, and runs keyboard macros or commands while you play.
What does GCT cover?
GCT is used for managed AI, speech, and related cloud services. Each paid plan includes a monthly service allowance, and trial accounts receive a one-time 2,500 GCT amount.
How does the AI flow work?
The app uses staged prompts plus recent history to tailor answers to the active game and the current request.
Can I customize commands?
Yes. You can build keyboard macros, set confirmations, and create per-game command sets.
Where are my settings stored?
Settings and conversation history are stored locally, and account/subscription data is managed online.
Troubleshooting
My wake word is not triggering.
Check your microphone input, confirm Always Listen is enabled, and adjust wake word confidence in settings.
Commands are not firing in-game.
Verify your keybinds, ensure the game window has focus, and confirm the macro is enabled.
