I built a bot that makes streaming less lonely - Twitch AI Viewers

Hey everyone! ๐
I just finished building something I think could be really helpful for new streamers and wanted to share it with you all.
It's called Twitch AI Viewers - basically, it's a smart bot that acts like real viewers in your chat. It listens to your stream, understands what's happening, and responds naturally. No more talking to an empty chat! ๐ฎ
I built this because I remember how tough it was starting out. That feeling of streaming to 0 viewers? Yeah, been there. This tool helps make those early days a bit less lonely while you build your real audience.
Technical Details:
The magic behind the bot comes from two powerful AI technologies: Groq Whisper for transcription and Groq AI Chat for message generation. Whisper handles the real-time transcription of your stream's audio, converting your voice into text with impressive accuracy. This transcribed text is then fed into Groq's AI, which analyzes the context and generates natural, context-aware chat messages. Groq's lightning-fast inference engine ensures that the responses are not only relevant but also delivered in real-time, making the interaction feel natural and engaging.
Application Flow:
Here's what it can do:
Listens to your stream audio in real-time
Actually understands what you're talking about
Responds naturally in chat
Works in multiple languages
Super customizable
It's completely free and open source. I'd love for you to try it out and let me know what you think!

Questions? Thoughts? Would love to hear from you! Also, if you're a developer and want to help improve it, PRs are welcome! ๐
Thanks!
