It was supposed to be Copilot, with access to your Xbox account. So you could ask it things like "what achievements do I have in [game]?" It would also know what game you were playing, and answer questions like, "I'm stuck on [puzzle], give me a hint," etc.

The "on mobile" part was that it would be integrated into the Xbox mobile app.

(I say "supposed to be" because it was just a beta, and hadn't even made it to consoles yet – just PC and mobile.)

One turn away from 'Hey Copilot can you play my game for me'.

Autoplay mode (non-AI based), isn't all that unusual for Asian MMOs, e.g. builtin farming bots to counter thirdparty farming bots.

It doesn't sound too different than things like the Nintendo Power Hotline.

		But this was replaced by Segasages/Gamefaqs. There are a lot of gamers now that will make a YouTube video about it. Seems like a replacement for no reason.

		That…might have actually been what they were missing, that usecase…

Where the other player asked the same thing so Copilot has to play against itself...

I have never used it, but many games on Playstation offer a kind of Hint function accessible from within the platform.

		I've used those occasionally and they seem to be a mix of official guides and user-submitted video clips, but it's not clear where the user-submitted clips come from.
