I've been running this thing since the 2023 era when viewer bots were glorified HTTP loops that got nuked in a week. The 2026 build is the first one where the AI layer actually earns its keep instead of being a buzzword bolted onto a socket pool.
| Version | Date | Changes |
|---|---|---|
| 2026.1 | 2026-01-14 | Rewrote the AI chat engine on a local inference path; added sentiment-aware message pacing; fixed proxy rotation stalling after 4h uptime |
| 2025.4 | 2025-11-02 | Introduced behavior profiles (lurker / chatter / raider); per-viewer session jitter; Twitch GQL endpoint migration |
| 2025.2 | 2025-08-19 | Chat reply cooldowns per-account; emote-aware message generation; fixed viewer drop on stream quality change |
| 2025.1 | 2025-06-03 | First AI-assisted build — message templating with context injection, basic anti-pattern filtering |
| 2024.3 | 2024-12-11 | Stable multi-account management, proxy health dashboard, session persistence |
This is the whole thing laid out. 43 modules across seven categories. If a module isn't here, it doesn't exist yet — check the roadmap.

The 2026 build is where the AI stops being decoration. Three things changed:
Local inference path. Message generation runs against a small local model by default — no API key, no outbound calls to a third-party LLM, no rate-limit surprises. You can point it at a remote endpoint if you want heavier generation, but the default works offline.
Sentiment-aware pacing. The bot reads the last ~40 messages in chat, scores the mood, and adjusts its own cadence. Hype moments get faster replies; slow lulls get fewer, longer messages. This is the single biggest reason the 2026 build reads less like a script than earlier versions.
Pre-send scoring. Every generated message gets a quality score before it fires. Low-scoring messages (repetitive, off-tone, or contextually wrong) get regenerated or dropped. You'll see the score in the transcript log.
What the AI does not do: it doesn't scrape your viewers, it doesn't post to other channels, and it doesn't touch anything outside the target stream's chat. Keep expectations on the rails.

- Ramp, don't spike. A channel that jumps from 12 to 400 viewers in 90 seconds is a flag. Use the warm-up ramp module and let it build over 20–40 minutes.
- Match your proxies to your audience. Geo-consistency check exists for a reason — a channel with a US audience and 80% EU viewer IPs looks wrong.
- Keep chat quiet at first. Run lurker mode for the first few sessions to establish baseline viewer behavior before you turn on the AI chat layer.
- Use per-account cooldowns, not a global one. A single global rate limit is the fastest way to look mechanical.
- Check the health dashboard before every session. A dead proxy silently drops slots and skews your ramp.
- Export and review your logs weekly. The anomaly self-check flags patterns you'd miss by eye.
- Don't max out the slot count on day one. Start at 30–40% of your target and scale.
Numbers from my own test rig and a couple of community reports. Your mileage depends heavily on proxy quality — cheap proxies will tank everything below.

Honest table. "Bypass" here means the bot's behavior doesn't trip the platform's automated viewer-count and chat heuristics — it is not a guarantee against manual review or future platform changes.
| Method | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Session jitter | ✅ Active | Join/leave timing randomized per slot |
| Behavior profiles | ✅ Active | Lurker/chatter/raider mix avoids uniform patterns |
| Proxy rotation | ✅ Active | Sticky per session, rotated between sessions |
| Geo-consistency | ✅ Active | Warns on IP/locale mismatch |
| Rate-limit guard | ✅ Active | Hard ceiling prevents throttle trips |
| AI message scoring | ✅ Active | Drops low-quality messages before send |
| Anomaly self-check | ✅ Active | Flags its own suspicious patterns |
| Platform heuristic updates | ⚠️ Ongoing | Platform changes heuristics periodically — update the build when notified |
| Aspect | Alternative (basic viewer bot) | This Tool |
|---|---|---|
| Chat behavior | Static message loops, obvious repetition | AI-generated, context-aware, scored before send |
| Viewer patterns | Fixed join/leave timing | Per-slot jitter + behavior profiles |
| Proxy handling | Manual rotation, no health view | Managed pool with live dashboard |
| Account management | Single token, manual refresh | Encrypted vault, auto-refresh, health scoring |
| Scheduling | Manual start | Stream-detect auto-start + ramp profiles |
| AI integration | None, or bolted-on external API | Local inference, sentiment pacing, persona profiles |
| Ops safety | None | Kill switch, panic wipe, rate-limit guard |
| Updates | Ad-hoc patches | Notified builds, changelog per release |
| Issue | Fix |
|---|---|
| Slots drop after ~4h on some proxy providers | Switch to sticky sessions; the 2026.1 build fixes the rotation stall — update if on older build |
| AI chat feels slow on low-end CPUs | Disable local inference, use lurker mode only, or reduce persona count |
| Geo-consistency warns on VPN-based proxies | Expected — VPN exits often mismatch target audience; use residential proxies for best results |
| Auto-update check fails behind strict firewall | Manual download from the project page; the check is a convenience, not required |
| Config profiles don't carry between machines | By design — profiles are local. Export the folder to move them |
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What exactly does this do? | It's a Twitch viewer bot with an AI chat layer — it fills viewer slots on a target channel and, optionally, generates context-aware chat messages using a local inference model. |
| Do I need an API key for the AI? | No. The default build runs local inference offline. Remote endpoints are optional. |
| Will this get my channel banned? | Any viewer bot carries risk. The build includes jitter, behavior profiles, and rate-limit guards to reduce detection surface, but no tool can promise zero risk. Use at your own discretion. |
| How many viewers can it handle? | Benchmarks above go to 500 slots on a solid rig. Real limits come from your proxy pool quality, not the software. |
| Does it work on macOS or Linux? | Windows 10/11 only for the 2026 build. No plans for other platforms right now. |
| Do I need admin rights? | No for normal use. Portable mode runs from a folder with no registry writes. |
| How do I update? | The build notifies you when a new version drops; download the new .exe from the project page and replace. Configs persist. |
| Is the AI chat detectable as AI? | The pre-send scorer and anti-repetition filter are specifically there to reduce that. It's not perfect, but it's a lot better than static loops. |
| Where do I report bugs? | Open an issue on the repo with your build version, proxy type, and slot count. Logs help enormously. |
| Component | Minimum | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| OS | Windows 10 (64-bit) | Windows 11 |
| CPU | 4-core | 8-core |
| RAM | 8GB | 16–32GB |
| Disk | 200MB free | 500MB free (logs + configs) |
| Network | Stable broadband | Low-latency, residential proxy pool |
| GPU | Not required | Not required (local inference is CPU-based) |
- Get the build. Head to the project page and grab the latest
.exe. - Extract. Unzip to a folder you control — avoid
Program Filesif you want portable mode to work cleanly. - Run. Double-click the
.exe. First launch walks you through proxy setup and a starter config.
No pip, no npm, no git clone. It's a single executable and a config folder.
---That's the 2026 build. The AI layer is the part I'm proudest of — it's the first version where I'd actually run it on my own channel without flinching. If something breaks, the logs are verbose on purpose; paste them in an issue and I'll look. Update when you're notified, keep your proxies clean, and ramp slow.
