Popular Twitch streamer Tyler “Tyler1” Steinkamp announced the launch of his new startup, Backseat AI by Tyler1, an in-game artificial intelligence-driven companion aimed at guiding League of Legends players.
The launch video features his voice doing real-time coaching, including item build suggestions.
Tyler1, who achieved Challenger in all five LoL roles, stated via a tweet on X: “I created Backseat AI so I can keep helping y’all be alphas even when I’m not there!”

Backseat AI by Tyler1 is in its early alpha stage and remains a work in progress.
Notably, the startup has received approval from Riot Games and complies with their Terms of Service, ensuring that using it will not result in any player bans.
Backseat AI by Tyler1 is currently available in alpha. Players can subscribe to the Backseat Premium membership for US$4.99 to gain immediate access or join the waiting list for the free tier via the official website.
“Backseat and the team were inspired by Tyler’s dilemma when he learned he was going to be a dad last year,” said Marcel Feldkamp, Backseat AI’s co-founder. “His growth was linear, tied to how much he streamed and ultimately limited by his ability to consistently create content.”
Feldkamp also addressed the controversial nature of AI in the digital space, asserting that “the rise of AI can be a positive force multiplier for the creator economy, if used right and built alongside creators themselves.”
Features of Backseat AI by Tyler1
Backseat AI offers pre-game tips and post-game analysis, giving information tailored to your stats, match-up, and team stats.
The AI also provides a real-time coach you can interact with during your match in League of Legends. It even cheers for you whenever you get a Penta.
Moreover, it also offers coaching in Chinese and Korean.
This innovative service aims to revolutionize the way gamers receive coaching and analysis, making professional guidance accessible to all. For more information and to sign up, visit the official Backseat AI website.
