If you were going to make a free LLM game assistant...

[Zed Clampet]

for answering questions about games, what sites would you have the LLM scan? Reddit is a no-go because they charge LLMs, and seeing as how this is free, you need to make it for free.

Other than Steam forums and Steam user guides, where else would you have your LLM learn?

Also, would you try out a chatbot for helping you find games in Steam?

I need something to do other than play games, and I'm kind of tired of the whole art thing for now, so I'm looking for some AI game-related projects.

Is GameFaqs still a thing? Might at least be useful for older games.

I think I personally get most of my information from a wiki. If you could somehow automatically find and scan game wiki's that would typically give you the best source of accurate information.

I thought about wiki's, too, but none of the mainline AIs use them, so I assume you aren't allowed; however, it may just be that up until recently they couldn't read tables at all and constantly mixed up the information, so it could be that they simply weren't told to index them. Great idea, though. I'll check it out.

GameFAQs is a good choice, as well as IGN guides and other sites that have similar game walkthrough guides. The problem with forum posts and Reddit is that a lot of times the info can be incorrect. I'm not sure if an AI scraping sites like that would have the ability to dismiss low/negatively rated replies, since higher rated posts tend to be more accurate. Fan-made sites like UESP would be perfect for Elder Scrolls games as it goes into great depths on the lore and other smaller details that a general game walkthrough would skip entirely.


I know gaming AI assistants are starting to roll out, but I don't know much about them. I just want something that I can hit a button on my keyboard and it actives my mic, I ask a very specific question about something in game (quest help, best traders, stat info, lore, etc.) and have it answer me back in real time. Basically just using Google but a bit quicker.

I've found that since they added the latest logic to CoPilot that it does a better job of determining whether something is accurate or not. For instance, if a Steam post says something, but a later post in that thread, or a post somewhere else, contradicts it, CoPilot is doing a pretty good job of sorting through that.

That's kind of what I'm going for. Of course, by the time I finish it, there will already be a dozen of them out there.
