An in-game assistant app that allows gamers to ask questions via voice and get real-time AI-generated responses, read back via text-to-speech, all without leaving the game or typing. Unlike complex deep integration concepts, this MVP requires only:

1. Game detection (already supported by Overwolf)

2. Voice-to-text conversion (using mature APIs like Google Speech-to-Text, Whisper, Azure Speech, etc.)

3. Sending the query with a well-crafted prompt to an AI API (OpenAI, Anthropic, or others)

4. Text-to-speech response playback (using existing TTS services)

5. Basic UI overlay to show questions and answers, plus push-to-talk or wake-word support for privacy

Why It Makes Sense Now

• The underlying AI and voice technologies are already mature and accessible.

• Overwolf’s platform already supports game detection and overlay rendering, providing the perfect foundation.

• Gamers often search for help via Google or YouTube mid-game, which interrupts gameplay. This assistant would keep them focused by providing quick, voice-driven answers.

• A lightweight, privacy-conscious app with optional wake-word or push-to-talk addresses privacy concerns.

• It sets Overwolf apart as a pioneer in AI-powered in-game assistants, creating a new category of utility apps.

Potential Impact

• Boost gamer engagement and satisfaction by reducing friction in getting help.

• Encourage third-party developers to build specialized AI-powered apps on Overwolf.

• Position Overwolf as the platform leading the next wave of immersive AI experiences in gaming.
