Codenames Companion-AI-powered Codenames game assistant.

Example

The player inputs the available words on their team’s side, and Codenames Companion generates a clue based on the strongest connections it detects. For instance, if the words on the board include 'dog,' 'cat,' and 'fish,' it might offer the clue 'pets' to encapsulate them.

Scenario

A user is struggling to find a good clue that links more than two words. They enter a list of words, and Codenames Companion offers a high-level suggestion based on shared characteristics, reducing the cognitive load and helping the team make faster progress.

Example

After the human teammate provides a clue like 'flight,' Codenames Companion analyzes the available words to offer its guess. If the words 'bird,' 'plane,' and 'wing' are on the board, it prioritizes these over unrelated words like 'car' or 'tree.'

Scenario

When playing as a guesser, the user might input the clue provided by their partner. Codenames Companion evaluates all possible matches and ranks the words based on relevance, offering the best options for the user to consider.

Example

In a difficult situation where the user’s team is behind, Codenames Companion can offer riskier but high-reward strategies, such as linking multiple words with a single clue. It might suggest using the word 'ocean' to connect seemingly unrelated words like 'whale,' 'blue,' and 'salt.'

Scenario

The team needs to catch up quickly. The user inputs the current game state, and Codenames Companion suggests a bold clue that, if successful, can help cover more ground. This function is particularly helpful in competitive games where strategic risks are sometimes necessary.
