Welcome to your new AI co-host! This guide covers how to interact with VoxAI, use voice commands, and manage your stream.

There are two ways to interact with your AI companion: Text and Voice.

You can type directly into the input box at the bottom of the VoxAI window.

• How to use: Type your message and press Enter or click Send.
• Result: VoxAI will read your message, think for a moment, reply in the chat window, and speak the response out loud.
• Use this for testing or silent communication during a stream.

You can speak to VoxAI using your microphone, just like talking to a real person.

• Default Key: F10 (This can be changed in Audio > PTT Keybind).
• How to use:
  1. Hold down the key.
  2. Wait for the “Mic Ready” status to turn Orange.
  3. Speak your question or command clearly.
  4. Release the key.
• Result: VoxAI will transcribe your audio, generate a response, and speak back to you.

VoxAI listens for specific phrases to perform actions on your stream. You can say these via Push-to-Talk or type them in the text box.

Creates a clip of the last 30 seconds of your stream.

• Command: Say “Clip that” or “Clip this”.
• Requirement: You must be Live on Twitch.
• Result: VoxAI will instantly request a clip from Twitch, post the URL in the chat log, and confirm verbally (e.g., “Clip created!”).

Instantly locks down your chat in case of a hate raid or harassment.

• Command: Say “Shields up”.
• Result: VoxAI will activate Twitch Shield Mode immediately. This usually prevents first-time chatters from posting and enables strict automod settings (depending on your Twitch configuration).

Returns your chat to normal.

• Command: Say “Shields down”.
• Result: Deactivates Shield Mode.

VoxAI connects to Twitch EventSub to watch your stream in real-time. You don't need to do anything; the bot will react automatically to these events:

• New Follows: Welcomes the new follower.
• Subscriptions & Resubs: Thanks the user and mentions their streak.
• Cheers (Bits): Reacts to the amount. (Note: Only cheers above your configured “Bits Threshold” trigger a voice response).
• Raids: Announces the raider and the viewer count.
• Gift Subs / Gift Bombs: Thanks the gifter.
• Hype Trains: Announces when a train starts, levels up, or ends.
• Power-ups: Reacts when viewers use Gigantify, Message Effects, or On-Screen Celebrations.
• Ad Breaks: warns the stream when an automated or manual ad break begins.

You can toggle any of these on or off in the Twitch > Twitch Settings menu.

VoxAI comes with built-in visual effects that react to stream events. To use them, you must add them as Browser Sources in OBS.

Copy and paste these URLs into OBS Browser Sources:

Recommended OBS Settings:

• Width: 1920
• Height: 1080 (or your canvas resolution)
• Custom CSS: Clear out the default CSS so the background remains transparent.
• Shutdown source when not visible: Unchecked.

Once added to OBS, you can decide exactly which Twitch events trigger which effects.

1. Go to Overlays > Overlay Settings in the VoxAI app.
2. Check the boxes to map events to effects.
3. Example: You might want Fireworks for a Subscription, but only Confetti for a Follow.

You can change VoxAI's personality on the fly.

• Switching Personas: Go to AI > Persona and select a different file from the dropdown. The bot will instantly change its name, voice, and attitude.
• Memory: VoxAI has “Short Term Memory.” It remembers the last 5-10 interactions to keep the conversation flowing.
• Wiping Memory: If the bot gets confused or stuck in a loop, go to AI > Persona and click Wipe Memory. This clears the current session's context.

At the bottom of the window, you will see the health of your bot:

• Thinking Status (Left):
  • Idle: Ready for input.
  • Working…: Processing an AI response or generating audio.
• Twitch Status (Right):
  • Connected (Green): Everything is good.
  • Disconnected (Red): Connection lost. Restart the app or check your internet.
• Mic Status (Right):
  • Mic Ready (Green): Mic is initialized.
  • Listening (Orange): You are holding the PTT key.
