Struggling with a tough boss or seeking all the legendary items for your character? Look no further! The Razer Project Ava, unveiled this week at CES 2025, functions as a gaming assistant that can help you improve (or ‘get good’) without interrupting your gameplay.
The backseat gamer you pay for tips
At the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025, Project Ava was unveiled as an intelligent AI assistant that continually analyzes your gaming sessions by capturing numerous screen images. In real-time, it offers suggestions and guidance to enhance your skills.
In the promotional video, Ava is depicted offering guidance on various gaming genres, such as identifying enemies in Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) games or suggesting when to dodge an attack in Black Myth Wukong. She confidently states, “I always have a solution for your most challenging gaming predicaments.”
However, it’s unlikely that Ava can improve my skills in Call of Duty—she’s not a magic genie. Moreover, I might find it difficult to tolerate continuous advice on how to play better since I prefer figuring things out myself. If I desired such feedback, I would opt for live streaming instead.
Project Ava acts like an AI coach for Esports
In competitive gameplay, Project Ava truly excels by strategizing the team towards victory. Its ability to recall enemy positions surpasses human memory, allowing it to pinpoint precisely when and how to thwart their attacks. This was vividly demonstrated in a live demo at CES 2025, showcasing a match of League of Legends to numerous outlets like The Verge.
Though the demonstration had minor issues such as slight lags in AI reaction speeds, according to The Verge, further development is necessary to facilitate its operation through a cloud service. A significant unveiling related to this matter has been scheduled for GDC in March.
Convenience but at what cost?
As a member of the gaming team responsible for writing, I find myself torn about Project Ava. It’s undeniably an innovative tool, offering unparalleled accessibility to gamers. However, there’s a question mark regarding the impact on those who craft the game guides. While Project Ava excels at analyzing gameplay, it’s essential to note that it also depends on human-written guides for user navigation. Unfortunately, it remains unclear if these guide writers will receive credit or remuneration for their contributions.
There’s a potential concern that AI-generated content may lead to a self-perpetuating cycle. If AI tools take over the role of providing guides for gamers, reducing the need for manual searches, the market for written guides could diminish significantly. Since many sites rely heavily on their search engine rankings (like Google), the decline in demand might eventually cause both content creators and their respective websites to disappear.
To function effectively, AI needs a solid base of content to analyze and learn from. Absent this foundational knowledge, it can only recycle and potentially distort information from a shrinking collection. For instance, if you ask ChatGPT about Diablo 4, it might provide a mix-up of details from earlier games in the series. It’s humans, who are familiar with the franchise, that can discern what’s relevant, accurate, and verify the information. Without gamers writing comprehensive and precise guides, AI tools may disseminate partial truths or misinformation altogether.

For Razer, Project Ava isn’t just an idea; it’s a full-fledged initiative they’re diving deep into. They’ve announced a public beta test that you can participate in directly on their website. Whether you’re a gamer or a developer looking to integrate the tool, you’re welcome to join the testing phase.
