Streamlabs, the Logitech-owned streaming software for live streamers is implementing generative AI-driven recommendations and conversation, ranging from troubleshooting to giving insight on why your chat has suddenly gone quiet.
Announced in a press release, the «intelligent streaming assistant» is made up of three central functions. The first is as a '3D Sidekick'.
This AI functions as another host, which can answer questions you have in regards to the content you are reacting to, it can research topics for you, and it can even be used for «stimulating conversation when the stream is quiet by commenting on in-game events and chat activity».
You can also customise the personality of the 3D Sidekick to fit the tone of your stream and give you something to go back and forth with.
We haven't yet seen this in action but it's hard to imagine this won't feel a little stilted in practice. This is made in tandem with «industry leaders like Nvidia and Inworld».
