Why Collaborations Matter

In the fast‑moving world of live streaming, teaming up with other creators is one of the best ways to grow. When two streamers join forces, they introduce their viewers to each other, which means more followers, higher engagement and increased visibility. In fact, cross‑pollinating audiences can double your reach, depending on the size of each channel. Beyond the metrics, collaborations make streams more fun. As streamers ourselves, we’ve felt the excitement that comes from co‑hosting a show, and we knew ai_licia had to support it properly.

The problem: Speaking to ai_licia while collabing was tricky

Until now, ai_licia worked like this: you went live, turned on your AI co‑host and interacted with her through your headphones. She could joke, answer chat and even roast your gameplay.  But when you invited a friend to co‑stream, only you could hear her. Imagine collabing with a buddy on a multiplayer game, you’re laughing at ai_licia’s joke while your friend sits in silence, wondering what you’re reacting to. It made AI collabs feel clunky and left your friends out of the fun.

Introducing Multi‑Guest

We’re thrilled to announce Multi‑Guest, a new way to bring your friends (or your grandma!) into the conversation with ai_licia. With multi‑guest, every invited collaborator can talk to ai_licia and hear her replies in real time, just like the main streamer. No more awkward one‑sided conversation, now your whole panel can engage with your AI co‑host.

Here’s how it works:

1. Invite your friends. Tell them to sign up on the ai_licia dashboard (grab that referral link ;) ). Once they’ve created an account, head to your ai_licia Account settings and add them as Admin for your channel.
2. Select the channel. When they go to the Go Live page on ai_licia’s dashboard, they’ll see an option to pick which channel they’re streaming with. They choose your channel from the dropdown.
3. Go live together. Start your stream on TikTok or Twitch as usual. Your friends join. ai_licia will listen to all of you and respond out loud through her text‑to‑speech. Everyone in the call hears her remarks, just like a real co‑host. It couldn’t be simpler.

Multi‑guest isn’t limited to collabs with other streamers. Invite your gaming buddies on Discord to jump into your stream, or let your grandmother join a cooking show, her playful banter with ai_licia will make for unforgettable content. You can even use multi‑guest to co‑host a Q&A with your community manager or run a mini podcast. If they can log into ai_licia, they can join the conversation.

Fun Scenarios to Try

To spark your imagination, here are a few playful pairings:

• The Veteran Coach Duo: Stream a match of Counter‑Strike 2 with your friend while ai_licia adopts her grumpy old coach persona. Let her critique both your aim and your partner’s callouts. Watch as she plays favourites and sparks a friendly rivalry.
• Grandma’s Cooking Stream: Set up a multi‑camera kitchen stream, invite your grandmother to join via her laptop and let ai_licia’s sweet foodie character guide you through a recipe. ai_licia can comment on chopping techniques, remind Granny to season “from the heart” and read out chat questions. You’ll end up with a cosy show.
• Trivia Night with Friends: Pick ai_licia’s quizmaster persona and invite a few friends for a live trivia session. ai_licia will ask questions, award points and tease you when you miss the easiest answers. Viewers can join in via chat, and everyone hears the AI’s jokes and commentary.

Feel free to test these setups, the more personalities at the table, the better.  Remember, you can customise ai_licia’s persona to match the vibe, from upbeat cheerleader to sarcastic sidekick.

Growing Together

Multi‑guest isn’t just a quality‑of‑life upgrade, it’s a growth tool. By co‑hosting with other creators, you tap into each other’s communities and attract viewers who might not have discovered you otherwise. Bringing a family member or friend into the mix shows your audience a more personal side of you.

We want to hear how you’re using it and what would make it even better. Join our Discord community for feedback, feature requests or just to share your funniest co‑host moments. Your insights help us build the tools you need.
