Our Plans for ai_licia in 2026
In mid-January, we hosted a stream to recap everything that happened in the ai_licia world in 2025 (which we covered in this article: https://www.getailicia.com/post/the-ailicia-2025-year-in-review), and to reveal what we have planned for 2026.
This post is a written recap of the announcements from that stream, with a bit more context on what’s coming next.

2026: What We Have Planned
YouTube Support ✅
ai_licia on YouTube is out!
YouTube was the last major streaming platform we wanted to support after Twitch, TikTok, and Kick, so we’re super happy to finally check this one off the list.
If you stream on YouTube, you can now bring ai_licia with you.
Multi-Stream Support
Now that ai_licia is available on multiple streaming platforms, the next step is multi-stream support.
The goal is simple:
If you are live on multiple platforms at once, ai_licia will be able to join and support you on every platform you’re streaming to, so your chat experience stays consistent everywhere.
🗓️ Estimated release: early February
Actions (Smart Keybindings)
This is one of the features we’re most excited about.
We want to give ai_licia the ability to perform actions in:
the game you’re playing, and/or
your stream setup
…by using keybindings.
The idea is:
you provide a list of available actions
you assign keybindings to them
and ai_licia can trigger them smartly based on what’s happening
🗓️ Estimated release: end of February
Discord (Our Biggest Project of 2026)
Discord will be the big project of 2026 for us.
In 2025 we focused heavily on streaming platform support, and because of that we decided to postpone Discord by one year so we could do it properly.
Our goal is to make ai_licia capable of offline community management — meaning that even when you’re not streaming, your community can still be active, supported, and engaged.
We’ve mapped Discord development into two main phases:
Phase 1 — Foundations
Laying the groundwork with core features like:
joining a Discord server
chatting with members
basic interaction and presence
We are looking to be in Alpha in March in our Discord.
Phase 2 — Community Management Features
This is where we go deeper into features such as:
more advanced community support
moderation / guidance tools
automation workflows (without losing the “human” vibe)
