LetAnAgentAll scenariosGet unstuck in a video game: which AI agent to use
Researched, hands-on test pending
Our top pick: Gemini Live (screen sharing). This write-up is based on research from public sources; we haven't tested it hands-on yet and will update this page when we do. Prices were checked on 31 October 2026 and can change.
Top pick: Gemini Live with camera and screen sharing
- Official site: support.google.com/gemini/answer/15274899?hl=en-GB
- What it does: Share your phone screen, or point your camera at the TV, and ask out loud how to beat a boss or find a missing item.
- Rough UK price: Free
- Free tier: Yes, on eligible Android and iPhone devices.
- UK caveats: 18+ for Gemini Live, and it's rolling out gradually. Spoilers are likely, so say if you only want a hint. Microsoft's Xbox Gaming Copilot has been wound down in 2026, so don't count on it.
- Don't use it if you are: Under-18s, and competitive online play where outside help may break the rules.
Alternative: Perplexity
- Official site: www.perplexity.ai
- What it does: Quick, cited answers pulled from wikis and guides, so you can check the source.
- Rough UK price: Free; Pro £20/month in the iPhone app
- Free tier: Yes.
- UK caveats: Fine for any game; it's only as good as the guides it finds.
- Don't use it if you are: Brand-new releases with little written about them.
