Most "AI companion" experiences live on a screen you have to stare into — a chat window, an app icon, a character stuck behind glass that never actually feels like it's with you. AR toys promise a character in your real space, but usually demand a native app, a specific headset, or heavy setup before anything shows up on your desk.
An AI companion in your room should feel like it shares the space — sitting on your desk, standing on the floor, turning toward you when you move. That means two things a chat window can't offer: it has to appear inside your real environment, and it has to react to you in real time. LiveGen is built to do exactly that, straight from a browser tab, so you can summon an AI character live without downloading or configuring anything.
LiveGen's Summon mode brings a character into your actual room through your browser camera, AR-style — no app install, no headset. Point your camera at your desk or floor, and the character appears in your space. It tracks your hand position and gestures, so it can notice when you reach toward it, wave, or move around, and react in the moment rather than playing a canned loop. Because it's powered by the same real-time engine as LiveGen's other modes, there's no render wait between summoning it and watching it respond — you see it live, the instant you point your camera.
It runs entirely in the browser on desktop and mobile, with no plugin and no GPU on your side. That makes an AR companion in the browser genuinely low-friction: open a tab, allow the camera, and a virtual character in your real room is a few taps away.
A companion on a chat screen is always separate from you — you look at it. A summoned companion is composited into the same camera view that shows your room, so on screen it shares your lighting, your surfaces, and your framing. When you move the camera, it stays anchored to the space you pointed at instead of floating like a sticker.
The other half is timing. Static AR overlays and pre-rendered clips can't respond to what you do, so they read as decoration. Because LiveGen transforms your live feed in real time, the character can register a wave, a reach, or a change in your position and answer it as it happens. That responsiveness is what tips it from "an image on top of my video" to "something in the room with me."
To be honest about what it is: this is a live video effect rendered into your camera feed, not a persistent 3D object you can walk a full circle around or bump into. But because it stays anchored and reacts on the spot, a summoned AI companion in your room reads as genuinely present in a way a chat avatar never does.

No. Summon runs through your regular browser camera, AR-style — no headset or app store download required.
It tracks your gestures and position through the camera, so its reactions respond to what you do in the moment rather than repeating a fixed animation.
Yes. Pick from preset characters or upload your own reference image for LiveGen to summon.
Yes, Summon works in mobile browsers as well as desktop, since it's browser-based rather than a native app.
Yes, you can summon a character and try the interaction before creating an account.
It's a live effect composited into your camera view, so on screen it shares your room's surfaces and lighting and stays anchored where you point. It isn't a physical object, but because it reacts in real time it reads as present rather than pasted on.
Yes. After you summon it, switch on Freestyle and type a prompt to steer how it acts, so you get more than the default reaction.
It can, but a clear, well-lit surface gives the best result. Pointing the camera at an uncluttered patch of desk or floor makes it easier to tell where the companion is standing.
