Dota 2 AI coach
A Dota 2 AI coach that talks to you while you play
Highground watches your Dota 2 match as it happens and speaks up at the moment it matters: a gank is coming, a fight is turning, your next item should change. Short calls in your ear, the same call on your in-game HUD.
Free to start. Windows 10 and 11, from the Microsoft Store. No card, no Dota login.
What a live AI coach does in a Dota 2 match
Danger warnings
Warns you before a gank lands. A trained model reads where you stand, which enemies are missing and for how long they have been out of sight.
Fight calls
Whether to take a fight, leave it or back off, when help is coming and how far away, pickoff chances, and enemy buybacks and respawns that change a fight.
Item advice
Your next item in three columns: the common next item for your hero, the best fit against this lineup, and utility options against one specific enemy.
Draft help
On the pick screen, the open heroes for your position, ranked by the win-% points each adds against the picks so far.
Timers
Countdowns for power, bounty and wisdom runes, lotus, camp stacks, Roshan and Tormentor.
Lane brief and review
Your role, their carry, your carry and your job when the lane starts. When the match ends, a review: your farm against a benchmark and every death with who killed you.
How the AI coach works
- It reads the game the way streaming tools do. Dota 2 shares match state with third-party tools through Valve's Game State Integration. Highground reads that feed and the visible parts of your game window, like OBS does. It never reads game memory, injects code, changes other game files or plays for you.
- Trained models read the situation. Danger, fights, items and draft come from models trained on pro matches and Divine+ pub matches. The models decide whether a call is worth making now; exact clocks, like rune timers, are plain timers.
- One coach on every screen. The voice, the in-game HUD, the app and the stream overlay show the same call, so they never disagree.
It is not a chatbot. You do not type to it and it does not improvise: every line it speaks is a fixed, approved sentence, so it says the same thing the same way every time. How the voice works.
What it is not
- Not a hack. No game memory reading, no code injection, no automation. Highground is independent of Valve and has no Valve approval.
- Not a guarantee. Its models learn from pro matches, but advice can be wrong, and how well it works across ranks is still being evaluated in beta. Start free and see whether it helps you.
- Not a replacement for a human coach. A human coach teaches you the game and reviews your replays. Highground is in the match with you, live, and reviews each game when it ends. They do different jobs.
