Top 3 Streaming Tools for Kick for 2026
Kick’s creator ecosystem is growing fast, but its tooling is still catching up to what Twitch has built for the past decade. Few Twitch-native tools work, but Kick creators now have Kick-first tools, and some the relevant Twitch First tools are finally coming to Kick
Below are the three tools that currently deliver the biggest practical value to Kick streamers, or look promising for 2026.
1. Botrix: The Most Complete Chat Bot Built for Kick
Botrix isn’t just “a bot that works on Kick”. It’s arguably the first fully Kick-native bot ecosystem, built from the ground up around Kick’s chat behaviors, event structure, and community style.
What Makes Botrix Stand Out
Kick-specific moderation rules: Handles Kick’s higher chat velocity and sometimes rowdy audiences with flexible antispam, link filters, toxicity detection, and auto timeouts.
Extremely customizable commands: From simple !socials to complex, variable-driven responses, cooldowns, and permission levels.
Timers, announcements & rotating messages: Perfect for reminding viewers about your Discord, merch, or goals.
Event reactions: Botrix can respond to Kick follows, subs, and gifted memberships as soon as they happen.
Analytics that actually matter: Track chat activity, engagement spikes, viewer habits, and bot usage, something Kick’s native dashboard lacks.
Why Kick Streamers Use It
Because it does its job well. It’s the closest thing Kick has to Nightbot or StreamElements Bot with some moderation included.
Best For
Streamers who want a reliable, centralized bot that handles moderation and utilities all in one place.
2. ai_licia, the AI Chatbot that acts as Your AI Co-Host
ai_licia is not a typical “AI bot.” It functions more like a co-host, capable of interacting smartly with both you and the viewers, adding personality, momentum, and constant engagement to streams, something Kick’s high-energy culture loves.
What ai_licia Can Do
Live co-host: Appears as a voice, avatar, or chat persona, reacts to gameplay, speaks to viewers, and maintains conversation when chat slows. You can have real time voice discussion with ai_licia.
Mod-like interactions: Can greet viewers, answer frequently asked questions and react to subs and follows.
AI TTS: Give her a unique, high quality AI voice, picking from our library of 50+ voices.
Learns over time: ai_licia remembers her interactions with you and your viewers, allowing her to customize her interactions to fit your community best.
Avatar: ai_licia provides default models to use, and has integrations with several mainstream Vtubing platforms.
Automation: Smartly uses your existing commands, integrated with StreamDeck, and you can trigger these actions via voice.
Why This Matters on Kick
Kick's culture is built around high viewer connection and rapid chat movement. Keeping the stream active, even during downtime, is crucial. ai_licia acts like a second personality on stream, without needing a human co-host.
Best For
Streamers who want more energy, interaction, and bring something new and entertaining in their stream.
3. KickTools.app: A Dedicated Toolkit Built Specifically for Kick Streamers
KickTools.app fills one of the biggest gaps on Kick: creator tools tailored 100% for Kick’s API and event system, rather than repurposed from Twitch.
What KickTools Provides
Kick-native overlays: Alerts, event bars, follow/sub widgets, and on-screen animations that work instantly with Kick’s event feed.
Live goal trackers: Sub goals, follower goals and donation bars.
Chat widgets: Clean chat overlays designed to match Kick’s aesthetic.
Stream dashboards: Manage events, track stats, test alerts, and customize everything without extra plugins.
Quick setup: Doesn’t require a dozen integrations, it just works with Kick out of the box.
What Makes It Special
While mainstream tools are adapting to Kick, KickTools was built for Kick from the start. It captures events faster, displays alerts more reliably, and doesn’t rely on Twitch-based workarounds.
Best For
Creators who want simple, beautiful Kick-ready overlays.
If you are looking to try any of these tools, good news for you! They are all free to try!
Start 2026 strong by bringing something more to your stream with new Kick Streaming tools.
