Building an AI Companion Bot for Kick – Version 3

Over the past few weeks, I’ve continued developing YourVibeBot, my AI-powered companion bot designed for Kick streamers.

This is the next milestone in a project that started with a simple idea: creating an AI assistant capable of interacting naturally with a live community rather than simply responding to commands.

The latest version introduces a much smarter interaction model. The bot can now analyse conversations in real time, distinguish meaningful chat messages from emoji-only reactions, automatically translate non-English messages into English to make conversations more accessible, and welcome viewers when they first join a live stream.

The goal has always been to make the AI feel like a genuine member of the community rather than another automated chatbot.

Behind the scenes, the project has also grown considerably. The bot now includes:

  • Secure OAuth authentication with Kick
  • Automatic token refresh
  • Webhook-based event handling
  • AI-powered conversations using OpenAI
  • Automatic translation
  • Smart chat analysis
  • Viewer welcome system
  • Stream-aware event management
  • Shout-out commands
  • Production deployment with Node.js, Nginx and PM2

One of the aspects I’m enjoying the most is designing the architecture with future scalability in mind. Every new feature is being developed as a reusable building block, making it easier to expand the platform without rewriting existing code.

The next major milestone will be the introduction of a unique viewer points accumulation system, designed to provide a consistent experience that goes beyond the limitations of individual streaming platforms.

At the same time, I’m planning to extend the project beyond Kick. Support for Twitch and Rumble is already on the roadmap, enabling the same AI companion to operate across multiple streaming ecosystems.

For now, the project remains private while I continue refining the architecture and testing new ideas before sharing it publicly.

I’m excited to see how far this journey can go.
