40 CARROTWhat is an AI tactical advisor for Warhammer 40K?
40 Carrot's AI tactical advisor is a chat-and-voice assistant built into a true-scale virtual tabletop. Unlike a generic chatbot, it is board-aware: it reads your live board state — unit positions, terrain, and objectives — so it can talk through a real deployment, weigh target priority, or answer a rules question about the exact situation in front of you.
What can the AI advisor actually see?
The advisor is wired into the tabletop itself, not bolted on beside it. When you ask a question, it has the current board as context: which units are where, at true tabletop scale, what terrain sits between them, and which objectives are in play. That's the difference between "what should a unit with 6-inch movement generally do?" and "can this unit reach that objective this turn, given the ruin in the way?" Because 40 Carrot tracks the same things you'd track on a physical table — positions, wounds, objectives, deployment zones — the advisor reasons about your actual game state rather than a description you typed from memory. You can replay snapshots of previous turns, too, and ask it what went wrong.
What can you ask it?
- Deployment: where to place a unit given the board's terrain and objectives.
- Target priority: which of two targets is the better use of a squad's attacks.
- Rules questions: quick answers on things like objective control, coherency, or cover — with the board in view.
- What-ifs: thinking through a charge, a fallback, or a trade before you commit to it in a real game.
How do chat and voice input work?
You can type to the advisor like any chat, or speak to it: voice input means you can keep moving models while you think out loud, the way you'd talk through a turn with a practice partner. Both modes share the same board awareness, so "what's threatening my left objective?" works the same whether typed or spoken. It runs in the browser — desktop or mobile — with nothing to install.
Is it always right?
No, and 40 Carrot is upfront about that in the app: AI answers can be wrong. The advisor is a practice partner, not a judge — use it to pressure-test plans and surface options, and check binding rules calls against your rulebook and mission pack. That's also why it lives in a practice tool: the whole point is to make mistakes cheaply, in the browser, before they cost you a real game.
