A stream chatbot is a helper that answers viewer commands, moderates chat and entertains while you play. You can set it up free in 10 minutes. Let's see how.
The bot auto-answers common questions (your schedule, donation link, socials), removes spam and insults, runs giveaways and chat mini-games. It offloads you and keeps chat alive even early on when viewers are few.
The most popular free bots are Nightbot and the StreamElements bot. Both free. Let's use Nightbot. Go to their site and sign in via Twitch or YouTube.
After signing in click Join Channel and the bot enters your chat. On Twitch you may need to give the bot moderator rights with a command in your own chat. Done, the bot works.
In Commands create your commands. For example: a command with the word donate shows your donation link, a schedule command shows your stream times. A viewer types the command and the bot instantly replies with the text you set.
In Spam Protection enable filters: against link spam, caps, repeats, bad words. The bot auto-removes offenders, so you don't watch chat manually.
Free bots do basics. If you need a bot with special logic, integration with your store, taking orders, complex giveaways, its own database, we'll build a custom bot for your needs. Write to us describing what you need.
