An LLM-powered game companion that watches gameplay events and delivers characterful commentary across genres.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-01 issue.

Field notes

BACKSEAT converts selected game events into a short digest containing current statistics and a rolling history, then sends one asynchronous request governed by a cached persona prompt. The page gives a concrete example with a 120-token payload and recommends attaching replies to pauses such as death screens or finish lines. It also specifies canned fallbacks, cooldowns for minor events, and a one-request-in-flight policy so generated commentary cannot stall the game or arrive after its moment has passed.
