Some of my best gaming memories are of someone sat beside me, watching me play. Veilkin brings that feeling to your solo sessions. It’s an AI companion that sees your screen, so you can chat about the game like you would with a mate on the sofa. Laugh at a daft death, ask where to go next, or just chat. It remembers your games, too. Hold a key to talk or tap a key to type, and it replies in text. You choose how chatty it is, and it fades back over your game when you want quiet.

Could you build this?
Yes The core is a screen-capture or screenshot pipeline feeding a multimodal LLM in a chat interface. Latency and game-specific polish are real challenges, but a working version is buildable with existing APIs.
