After basically not gaming for a decade, or very sparingly (like a few days a year), since Sep 2026 I’ve been gaming most days a week (typically for 30-90 minutes on gaming days) and capturing my sessions, which I upload to YouTube.

I thought it would be interesting to see how well AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini would be able to guide or provide insights while playing. I call this relationship “AI Co-op” (a term I developed off of ChatGPT’s suggestion of “Claude/GPT Co-op” as an option to include in a YouTube video, vs. longer phrases like “gaming with Claude/GPT”/etc, in order to keep the title within the character limit). Our chats together comprise video commentary.
