Sidecaster is the AI co-host who lives in your OBS overlay. It reads your chat, listens for your wake word, and talks back out loud — so your stream feels like two friends on a couch, not you mumbling to the void.

HOW IT WORKS

Up and running
in four little steps.

01

Connect Twitch

One-click OAuth. We read your chat and event feed — never your DMs or mod tools.

02

Make your buddy

Upload your own art, or generate a sidecaster in-browser. Auto-rigged for idle, talk, thinking, surprise, laughter.

03

Dial in their vibe

Name them, write their personality, pick a voice and wake word. Set response rate so they chime in just right.

04

Paste into OBS

One browser-source URL. They show up transparent on your scene and start co-hosting the moment you go live.

A co-host that actually
feels like one.

velvetfox: WAIT did that just happen 😭😭

SPEAKING ALOUD · TTS
“CHAT — did you see that?! someone CLIP THAT right now, that was absolutely unreal!!”
↑ SPOKEN VIA STREAM AUDIO · NEVER POSTED TO CHAT
VOICE · SPEAKS OUT LOUD

Reads your chat. Out loud.

When a viewer says something, your Sidecaster answers them with a real voice, through your stream audio. 40+ OpenAI voices built in — or write a personality prompt and hear how it reads.

hey cooper, do you think we're gunna win this game?”
SPEAKING ALOUD · TTS
“100% yes. chat's already hyped, your vibes are immaculate — let's gooo!”
EARS · WAKE WORD + MIC

Listens when you call.

Say your wake word — “hey Cooper,” or whatever you want to set it to — and your Sidecaster perks up, hears the rest of your sentence, and answers like a friend on voice chat. Whisper runs local for privacy.

EVENTS · HYPE WHEN IT COUNTS

They celebrate the moments you’d miss.

Follow, sub, raid, cheer — every Twitch event becomes a reaction. Your Sidecaster hypes up new followers by name, loses their mind at a raid, and thanks every sub without you having to read chat in real-time. You focus on the stream; they handle the crowd.

SIDECASTER · ANY AVATAR

Upload yours. Or make one.

Basic in-browser sidecaster tools to get going, or drop in your own art. Every avatar gets five expression sprites — idle, talking, thinking, surprised, laughing — rigged automatically.

PERSONALITY
a sleep-deprived gremlin who has played every genre and forgets nothing, speaks in lowercase, roasts the streamer with genuine love

PERSONALITY · KNOBS

Tweak their whole vibe.

Write who they are in plain English. Tune how often they chime in. Set hard rules — topics they won’t touch, words they won’t say. Save a preset for each game.

SETUP · ONE URL

Drop it into OBS. Done.

Paste one browser-source URL into OBS, Streamlabs, or XSplit. Transparent background, drag to position, auto-updates — no restart mid-stream.

WHAT IT ISN’T
We’re not pretending.

Your Sidecaster doesn’t see your game — no play-by-play, no reading screens. It listens to your mic after your wake word, reads chat, and reacts to Twitch events. That’s it. Honest co-host energy only.

Questions, answered.

Will my Sidecaster say something that gets me banned?+
You write their rules in plain English — topics to avoid, lines they shouldn’t say — and those rules are part of every response. Stronger post-output keyword filters are on the roadmap.
Does it post in my chat?+
Never. Your Sidecaster only speaks out loud through your stream audio via TTS, like a co-host on a mic. Your chat stays yours.
Can it see my game?+
No. It reads your stream chat, listens to your mic after your wake word, and reacts to Twitch events. No screen reading, no gameplay narration.
How does the wake word work?+
Whisper runs local on your PC and listens for the word you set (“hey Cooper,” “coop,” anything you want). Nothing leaves your machine until your Sidecaster actually responds.
Can I make it sound like me?+
Voice cloning is on the roadmap — today you pick from the built-in OpenAI TTS voices (alloy, echo, fable, onyx, nova, shimmer, ash, coral, sage, verse, ballad), plus a voice-style prompt to shape tone.
Does it work with VTube Studio / Live2D?+
Today it’s 2D sprite avatars (idle, talking, thinking, surprised, laughing) with automatic lip sync. Live2D + VRM support is on the roadmap.
What if I run out of credits mid-stream?+
Buy a top-up credit pack from your billing dashboard and your Sidecaster keeps going. If you run out mid-stream it pauses gracefully — no broken stream. Auto top-up is on the roadmap.
What platforms?+
Windows today. Mac is on the roadmap. Cloud-hosted option coming so you don’t need to run anything locally at all.

Your next stream
needs a co-host.
