Clear answers about Community access, annual licences, Local AI, Game Companion Tokens, Brain Packages, and getting started.
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.
Plans, pricing & access
How does Community access work?
Create a free account, confirm your email, then download Game Companion and sign in. Community is designed for Aria, one Store game Brain and one custom Brain in separate slots; one new Store game Brain download is available every rolling 7 days. Use the commands included with your selected Brain. No payment card is required. Community has no recurring GCT allowance. Check the app for any available welcome-credit or optional trial offer and its eligibility and expiry terms. Optional token packs are available for hosted services.
What happens when an annual licence ends?
Explorer and Crafter are one-time purchases that provide 365 days of access and updates. Renew when you choose. When access ends, the app falls back to Community and you keep the version you already have.
What are the annual licence prices?
Explorer is $19 USD for early adopters, regularly $29, and includes 5,000 GCT. Crafter is $39, regularly $59, and includes 15,000 GCT. Architect is on the roadmap and is not available to buy; no price or token amount has been announced. See Pricing for the current comparison.
Which Local AI options are included?
Supported on-PC Local AI models and optional Pocket TTS access are included for active accounts, including Community. Setup requires compatible hardware and model downloads; local processing uses no GCT. Check the app for available downloads. FasterWhisper is a separate option with paid-plan and runtime-location requirements. Network-device access remains separate from Community access. Architect is planned for up to three linked computers; availability and terms are not announced.
Getting started
How do I join the alpha?

Do I need to share my email in Discord?
No. Account creation is handled entirely through our secure website. Discord is used for community support and feedback.

Subscriptions and service access are currently supported only for users in Canada and the United States.
What is expected from testers?
We ask testers to report issues, share feedback, and help us tune reliability via our Discord community channels.

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?
Game Companion Tokens cover supported hosted AI responses and speech services. Community has no recurring GCT allowance. Any available welcome grant or optional trial is shown in the app with its eligibility, amount, duration and expiry. Review those terms before accepting; a planned offer is not a guarantee that it is available to every account. Unexpired General GCT from welcome, trial, and purchased packs shares the same spendable wallet for supported services. Explorer includes 5,000 GCT and Crafter includes 15,000 GCT. Optional packs are Cache at $10 for 20,000, Trove at $25 for 60,000, and Vault at $50 for 140,000. Local speech recognition and Local AI processing use no GCT.
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.
Where do I report bugs?
Join our Discord and use the designated feedback and bug reporting channels.
