Add a channel to the created agent by clicking Add Channel and select Twitch.
Step 4: Authorize with Twitch¶

Status¶

Don't Forget!
Click the "Save" button at the bottom of the page after making changes.
Model¶
Select the language model in the agent settings.
Instructions¶
Define the agent's character and behavior. Describe:
- The agent's personality and tone of communication
- Who the agent belongs to (your channel name)
- Topics the agent should focus on
- Any restrictions or rules
Trigger Word¶
Important for Twitch!
Twitch does not allow messages to start with /. Change the default trigger word to something else, for example: bot or your channel name.
Set a trigger word in the channel settings. The trigger word activates the agent to respond. Users must start their message with this word.
Message Retention (Days)¶
We recommend setting this to 1 day for Twitch.

Step 7: Start Chatting!¶
Go to your Twitch channel chat and use the trigger word to interact with the AI agent.
Chat Example
Viewer: bot Hey! How's it going?
YourBot: @Viewer Hey there! How can I help you today?
