YarpAI

YarpBot is a Twitch chatbot that uses natural language processing to understand what viewers are asking and respond without you needing to type out commands. Instead of relying on !commands, you set up "intents" — topics like game details, stream schedule, or social links — and YarpBot matches viewer questions to the right response. It works in chat, as a Twitch Extension panel or overlay, or both at once.

Setting it up takes three steps: add YarpBot to your channel, enable the intents you want, and write your responses. You can include Twitch emotes and variables, or even use JavaScript for dynamic replies. The free tier covers basic intents. A $5.99/month YarpBot+ subscription unlocks two AI features: @YarpBot Agent, which uses ChatGPT to answer any question beyond your preset intents, and YarpAI Rephrase, which varies how your default responses are worded so the bot doesn't sound repetitive.

This is built for Twitch streamers who want to reduce repetitive questions in chat without juggling a dozen commands. It's especially useful for new viewers asking common things like "What game is this?" or "What's your schedule?" — YarpBot handles those automatically so the streamer can focus on streaming. The tone is lighthearted (the site jokes about buying snacks for the devs), but the tool itself is straightforward and practical.
