RimWorld AI Companion That Watches Your Screen
A voice companion that watches your screen while you play RimWorld and reacts live — callouts, tips, and banter. It picks up on colonist needs, moods, and mental break management, base defense and raid preparation, and everything on screen. Runs in your browser while you game; also on PC and mobile.
No hardware required · Works via browser · Mobile app available
AI is watching your screen
Spectating your RimWorld session in real time. Reacting to colonist needs, moods, and mental break management and base defense and raid preparation.
“Your best colonist has a mental break and wanders into a boomalope herd at the exact moment a raid spawns. Your companion observes that Randy Random has a sense of narrative timing.”
“You spend an hour designing the perfect killbox and the raiders drop-pod directly into your hospital. Your companion notes the killbox remains, technically, unused and perfect.”
How AI Companions Work in RimWorld's Colony Storytelling
RimWorld is a story generator disguised as a colony sim: colonists run on moods and traits, raids scale against your own wealth, and the storyteller you choose decides whether the next hour is a building phase or a catastrophe. An AI companion watching your screen tracks which colonist is drifting toward a mental break, reviews the killbox geometry, and treats every Randy Random disaster as the narrative event it is. For a game where colonies live for years and stories accumulate, a companion with persistent memory is the natural co-manager.
Companion personalities & example voice for RimWorld
Play-style starting points and sample banter — what a live session might sound like, not a wiki recap. Pick a tone or build your own.
Starting points
Cassandra
A methodical colony planner who believes every disaster is a design flaw in disguise, reviews your defenses like an insurance adjuster, and keeps a running list of which colonists are one bad meal away from a tantrum
“Your hospital shares a wall with the chemfuel storage. Before we discuss the raid, explain the thinking there.”
Randy
A chaos-embracing storyteller who loves when the colony barely survives, treats every tragedy as the beginning of a better story, and gets genuinely excited when two disasters schedule themselves for the same afternoon
“A raid during a solar flare during a toxic fallout? This is not a disaster. This is the episode everyone remembers.”
Example voice lines
- “Your best colonist has a mental break and wanders into a boomalope herd at the exact moment a raid spawns. Your companion observes that Randy Random has a sense of narrative timing.”
- “You spend an hour designing the perfect killbox and the raiders drop-pod directly into your hospital. Your companion notes the killbox remains, technically, unused and perfect.”
- “A colonist with the Pyromaniac trait starts a fire during a heat wave inside your wooden storage room full of chemfuel. Your companion begins counting the decisions that led here.”
Show 3 more examples
- “You finally tame the thrumbo after forty days of attempts and a passing trader immediately offers to buy it. Your companion waits to see what kind of person you are.”
- “Your cook gets food poisoning from your other cook's meals and now nobody is cooking, which means more food poisoning. Your companion recognizes the spiral and suggests nutrient paste, quietly.”
- “The colony survives its third winter on the brink, the crops come in, and nobody died this quadrum. Your companion says this is what winning looks like here, and means it.”

Play RimWorld with a companion that sees your screen
Questie reads your display through screen share — no game API, plugins, or overlay. What you see is what your companion reacts to in voice chat.
While you play, vision can inform banter and callouts — including colonist needs, moods, and mental break management and base defense and raid preparation. Tone depends on the personality you pick.
It's a conversation with someone watching your run, not a command menu. Your companion may comment, joke, or chime in when it fits the moment.
Three steps to get started
Under two minutes in the browser. If your PC runs RimWorld, it runs Questie alongside it.
1. Share your screen
Launch Questie and share your RimWorld window. No downloads, no plugins, no API keys. Works on any Windows PC without special hardware requirements.
2. Your companion watches
The vision model spectates your gameplay in real time, reading visual context the same way a friend watching over your shoulder would. colonist needs, moods, and mental break management, base defense and raid preparation — all visible.
3. Your companion talks with you
Your companion reacts to what's happening, banters between sessions, and throws in tips and reactions when they're useful. Not a command interface — a conversation.

Five things your companion may pick up in RimWorld
Game-specific themes in voice — not generic tips. What you hear depends on your session and setup.
Colonist Moods, Needs, and Mental Breaks
- RimWorld's colonies fail from the inside first: every colonist runs on mood, needs, and traits, and a chain of small insults ends in your best doctor setting fire to the medbay. Managing recreation variety, meal quality, bedroom standards, and the psychic drone of a bad season is the actual core game underneath everything else.
- Players searching RimWorld mood management, mental break guide, or RimWorld AI companion are asking how to keep the colony stable. Questie can watch your colony and talk through which lever matters right now, not in general.
Base Design and Defense
- Raid scaling follows your colony wealth, which makes base design an arms race against yourself. Killbox geometry, turret coverage, fall-back positions, and the eternal debate about how much wealth is too much wealth are decisions that compound across years of a save. Drop pods and sappers exist specifically to punish your favorite design.
- Questie can review the layout on your screen, discuss wealth management against the storyteller you are running, and help you plan the defense for the raid size your colony value is about to attract.
The Early Game and Survival Priorities
- The first quadrum decides everything: shelter before comfort, food security before production, defenses before decoration. New colonies die to the ordering of these priorities more than to any raid, and each biome rewrites what the correct order even is.
- Questie can talk through your opening against your biome, your colonists' skills, and your storyteller, which is more useful than a generic build order written for a temperate forest you are not playing on.
Storytellers, Biomes, and Challenge Runs
- Cassandra builds pressure in arcs, Phoebe gives you room to breathe, and Randy rolls dice with your feelings. The biome and storyteller you pick is the real difficulty slider, and the jump from temperate Cassandra to ice sheet Randy is bigger than any settings change in the menu.
- Questie knows the storyteller rhythms and biome demands, and persistent memory means it remembers what your current colony has survived and what season is coming for you next.
Mods, DLCs, and the Workshop Rabbit Hole
- The DLCs layer in royalty, ideology, biotech children, and anomaly horror, and the Steam Workshop adds everything from quality-of-life fixes to total overhauls. A modlist of two hundred is a rite of passage, as is the week spent making them all load in the right order.
- Questie can discuss the DLC systems and the mod ecosystem at a high level, help you decide what fits the colony you want to run, and keep track of what your current save depends on.

How a companion might fit your RimWorld level
Same product, different banter — expand for rank-style examples (not personalized coaching).
Learning the ropes
Your companion might comment on colonist needs, moods, and mental break management and basics as they show up on screen — more buddy banter than a lecture.
Mid-game moments
Voice chat can touch base defense and raid preparation and the situations you keep running into — reactions to what just happened, not a full VOD review.
Refined runs
When mechanics are solid, conversation tends toward small edges — timing, reads, and patterns your companion notices during the session.
Long sessions
At higher levels many players use a companion for company and focus during long queues — keeping talk relevant to what's on screen when tilt or fatigue shows up.
