When we first encountered ai_licia, an AI co‑host built specifically for streamers, we were intrigued. The project left beta early this year and promised to help creators keep chat lively. Eight months on, the team behind ai_licia has been busy: they’ve introduced major new features, opened up more affordable plans, and expanded beyond Twitch. Below, we break down what ai_licia is, what’s changed since its beta ended, and where this ambitious AI companion is headed next. We’re also excited to announce that All Creator Tools now partners with ai_licia to help our users discover it.
What is ai_licia?
ai_licia is an AI co‑host designed to sit alongside you during live streams. Instead of relying solely on text commands, it listens to your stream, talks back using natural text‑to‑speech, and remembers returning viewers. The idea is simple: Get the perfect Co-Host for you and your community so you can focus on playing, performing, or talking. Through custom personas you can make the AI sound like a sassy coach, a wholesome friend, or anything in between.
Highlights Since Leaving Beta
Vision – AI that sees your stream
The most significant upgrade is Vision. Previously, ai_licia reacted only to chat, platform events, API, and voice. With Vision enabled, it can watch your stream like a viewer and comment on what’s happening. Whether you hit a clutch play, suffer a hilarious fail, or reveal a new cosplay, the AI now reacts to those visual moments in real time. You choose when Vision is active and what video feed it sees, either a virtual camera or a multi‑view of your OBS scenes, so you stay in control. This feature makes ai_licia feel more like a person who’s watching the stream with your audience.
Accessible pricing for any creator
In April, the team introduced The Lite plans to make ai_licia accessible. Lite provides almost all core features, including customised personas, long‑term memory, and integrations, for a price aimed at occasional streamers. You get one stream per week for anything above Flex, Unlimited, and Ultimate tiers scale up the number of streams, characters, and Vision. By lowering the barrier to entry, ai_licia invites small creators to test an AI co‑host without committing to a full‑time plan.
Deeper integrations with your tools and games
Since beta, ai_licia has added hooks for a growing list of tools and games so that it truly becomes part of your workflow:
- Elgato Stream Deck – quickly switch personas.
- Pulsoid – the AI reads your heart‑rate spikes and reacts to tense moments during horror games or fitness streams.
- Lumia Stream – ai_licia can change your lights to her liking or integrate with their API hooks to support Spotify and YouTube music integrations.
- Streamer.bot & channel points – respond to redemptions or trigger chain reactions. For example, the AI can call out someone redeeming a sound effect, then ask viewers to follow up.
- Parallel 42 Flow Pro – in Microsoft Flight Simulator, ai_licia acts as a virtual co‑pilot, reading flight data and warning about various failures (she can get pretty mad about them).
- League of Legends integration – it hypes up big plays like baron steals or pentakills, turning MOBA streams into mini sports broadcasts.
- VTubing - use ai_licia’s voice to drive a virtual avatar on screen. Currently supports Animaze, VTube Studio, PNGTuber Plus, and the popular OBS plugin Image Reaction.
These integrations make ai_licia feel less like a standalone bot and more like an intelligent assistant that understands the context of your stream. More integrations are in the pipeline, and their public roadmap lets you suggest any tools you’d like to see integrated.
TikTok Live support
While Twitch has a rich ecosystem of chatbots and overlays, TikTok Live lacks a formal public chat API. As a result, most bots cannot join your TikTok chat. To get around this limitation, the ai_licia team built a workaround that lets the AI join TikTok Live as a co‑host. Testers report that the integration feels natural: ai_licia talks through text‑to‑speech, welcomes new followers, and reacts to on‑screen moments much like it does on Twitch. Early adopters haven’t experienced account issues, and this expansion opens up a huge new audience for the AI.
They are currently looking for new partners on the TikTok platform, so if you believe in their project and vision to support small communities and help community leaders to grow, we would advise you to apply for their partner program just here: https://www.getailicia.com/partner
Event Mode for Charities, Raid Train, and sponsored events
Collaborating with other streamers is one of the best ways to grow, when creators join forces, they introduce their viewers to each other, which can mean more followers, higher engagement, and increased visibility. To support collabs, ai_licia now offers multi‑streamer sponsorships for charity events and raid trains. The AI keeps the energy high across channels, thanks donors by name, and maintains continuity as viewers hop between streams. This month, the team is rolling out a multi‑guest mode where two people can talk to the same AI on the same channel, perfect for co‑op streams or interviews.
Event feed & road to analytics
The memory stream has been replaced by a real‑time event feed. This dashboard shows what the AI hears, says, thinks, memories, and more. You can still access long‑term memory, but the live feed gives you transparency into the AI’s thinking. The next phase is analytics: the team plans to launch dashboards that show how ai_licia influences chat activity, viewer retention, and conversions. These insights will help creators fine‑tune how they use the AI to maximise engagement.
What’s Coming Next
The roadmap remains ambitious. The team is working on:
- YouTube and Kick integrations – bringing the co‑host to more platforms.
- Discord community bot – ai_licia will welcome new members, spark conversation, and remember users across voice channels.
- Multi‑stream support – broadcast to multiple platforms simultaneously while ai_licia tracks all chat feeds.
- More games and tools – expect integrations with additional titles and tools.
- Deeper analytics & memory – better insights into your stream’s performance and smarter, more personalised recall.
- Custom voice prompting – the ability to generate and refine ai_licia’s speaking voice from scratch.

Our Partnership
All Creator Tools exists to help creators discover the right software without wading through marketing hype. We were impressed by ai_licia when the team opened their beta, and after watching their progress since leaving beta, we wanted to formalise our support through a partnership. This gives us early insights into features as they roll out. As always, our goal is to recommend tools we believe can genuinely improve your streaming setup. Working with the ai_licia team has been genuine, and their mission is true to their core, because they’re streamers and community leaders themselves, they know firsthand what struggles creators face.
