Firebot is a desktop bot for Twitch that trades the convenience of the cloud for control. Its core is an effects system: you chain actions such as chat messages, sounds, alerts or currency changes onto commands, timers and event triggers without writing code. Want to give currency when someone subs or play fanfare on a donation? That is a trigger and an effect. You can create as many currencies as you like, earned the longer a viewer watches, and spend them in built-in games such as Slots and Heists or games you build yourself. A chat feed shows chat and moderation actions as they happen, viewer tracking ranks who watched and chatted most, and integrations cover Streamlabs, StreamElements, StreamLoots, Discord and Philips Hue. It is free and open source, maintained by a volunteer team with code and a wiki on GitHub. The trade-off is that Firebot runs on your machine, so it only works while that computer is on.
Who it is for
Streamers who want deep custom interactions and currencies without writing code, and who keep their PC on while live.
Price
