For YouTube streamers
A YouTube Live Chat Bot commands your stream can hear
YouTube live chat can do more than scroll by. With Blerp, a viewer types a command and your stream plays a sound, reads their message in a TTS voice or shows a meme video, and Blerp can answer them in chat too. Blerp chat commands are in limited beta. Ask for access in our Discord; Blerp Unlimited is required to create commands.
What a Blerp chat command can do
Play a sound
!bonk plays a bonk on stream. Pick any sound from the library or upload your own.
Read a message out loud
Everything after the command becomes the input, so !tts hello chat gets read in the voice you chose.
Show a video or alert
Play a video meme or one of your alerts when the command is used.
Reply in chat
Answer the command with a message in chat, on its own or along with a sound or alert.
Who can use it
Everyone, or only you, your mods, subscribers or VIPs.
Cooldowns
Stop spam with a cooldown: after a command runs, nobody can use it again until the cooldown ends.

Use it with the bot you have
Keep your moderation bot for spam filters and timers, which Blerp doesn't do, and add Blerp for the commands that play something. Give each bot its own commands so they never both answer.
If you also stream to Twitch or Kick, the same Blerp commands work there, so one list covers every chat.
