If you want to understand Xbox games faster, you will soon be able to use an AI assistant. Microsoft calls this "Copilot for Gaming".

Microsoft's artificial intelligence is designed to help people play computer games. "New players, like me, can be intimidated by computer games," says Microsoft's Fatima Kardar. She has tried out various games, "but quickly discarded them because they don't work," admits the manager in the Xbox podcast. Her solution is not better game design, but artificial intelligence: the "Copilot for Gaming".
The Copilot for Gaming is designed to help players play faster, improve through coaching and have a more "social" gaming experience. It is also designed to reduce the time needed for installation and setup so that the fun effect can be felt more quickly. This starts with the personalized recommendation of certain Xbox games, continues with reminders of where you left off in a game and extends to "maintaining connections with friends".
Difficult balance
It all starts for Xbox Insiders on mobile devices. "There will be a lot of AI," Kardar announces. At the Game Developer Conference (GDC), there will be a number of AI offerings on display.
"We don't want to ruin the gaming experience," emphasizes Kardar, who heads up the gaming AI department in Microsoft's Xbox division. This is why the Copilot for Gaming should not impose itself, but should be on hand at the right moment. Kardar does not hide the fact that this balance "is an art". Thanks to Karl Klammer, Microsoft is a burnt child in this respect. Feedback from participants in the Xbox Insider beta test program will guide the further development of Copilot for Gaming.

"There's a high percentage of games that the vast majority of gamers never experience because they face challenges, or because they don't understand that there's this great side thread over there," explains Jason Ronald from Microsoft, who was responsible for Xbox hardware and has recently taken care of the "next generation". He wants artificial intelligence to help gamers enjoy the games they already play more.
