Hey Robot is an AI co-host that listens to your stream, answers your voice questions live, keeps the conversation going when chat goes quiet, reads every chat in one place and moderates your channel — on your command.
Works in the browser — no install needed. A desktop app with bigger, more accurate speech models is available too.
One assistant that hears you, watches your chats and manages your channel — while you play.
Say a wake word — “hey robot”, “ok robot”, “Jarvis” — and ask anything out loud. The robot combines live web search with an LLM and answers on your dashboard or overlay, aware of the game you're playing. It can forward its answers straight to chat.
OAuth connections to your Twitch and YouTube accounts. The bot answers questions in both chats (triggers and @mentions), creates clips, and its Twitch bot token refreshes itself forever — no silent disconnects mid-stream.
Reads the embedded Restream chat over websocket, so messages from every platform you multistream to land in one panel and one history — even without direct Twitch/YouTube connections. Duplicates from native readers are filtered out automatically.
A “heat” system watches for silence on stream and suggests conversation topics tuned to your current game, backed by a weekly research brief the bot compiles about it. Topics are generated in English and instantly translated into your dashboard language — 8 languages supported.
Moderate by voice: ban, mute or delete messages on your command, with confirmation before anything fires. Change your stream category hands-free (“robot, switch the game to ARC Raiders”), and let viewers create clips just by typing a phrase like “clip that”.
A companion Discord bot for your community: bring your own bot token, flip its features on and off right from the stream dashboard. The two bots exchange capability manifests, so each one knows what the other can do.
The Hey Robot desktop app puts a click-through robot overlay on top of your game and runs large native speech engines on your GPU — Nemotron, Whisper large-v3-turbo, GigaAM, Parakeet — noticeably more accurate than the browser, across 8 recognition languages. It auto-picks the best engine for your hardware.
Remembers your community — the privacy-friendly way. Instead of hoarding every chat message, the robot distils each viewer's key topics after your stream ends («got married», «new puppy», «finally beat that boss») and greets returning viewers with them. Raw chat is kept only for the current session. Any viewer can tell the robot to forget them, in any language, and is ignored from then on. Plus new-viewer alerts with sound and an overlay bubble, and a downloadable timestamped transcript after every stream.
Sign up with Twitch or YouTube, open the dashboard, and say “hey robot.”
Speech recognition runs locally: offline in your browser (Vosk, or GigaAM v3 for Russian and ReazonSpeech for Japanese — pick the engine in Settings), or with native GPU models in the desktop app. Your microphone audio is not shipped to a cloud transcription service. Viewer chat is stored only for the current stream; afterwards only per-viewer topics remain, and viewers can opt out entirely.
Bring your own AI if you want: connect Ollama, LM Studio or your own DeepSeek API key in the desktop app — keys are stored only on your computer and never leave it. Accounts support two-factor authentication (TOTP) and personal API keys.
