Chatbot Integration
Set up a chatbot that helps moderate chat, answer common questions, and keep viewer interaction moving.
A good chatbot helps with moderation, automates common replies, and keeps your chat more organized while you're focused on the stream. It can also make recurring interactions feel smoother without replacing your own personality.
