Backseat AI

Backseat AI is a real-time, AI-powered companion tool specifically designed for players of the multiplayer online battle arena game League of Legends (LoL).

This gives the experience a social, entertaining layer while still being functionally useful.

The tool also includes a built-in champion counter database that updates with the current patch, helping users pick o
