StreamLive ProRead and summarize your live chat with ChatGPT or Claude
Ask ChatGPT or Claude to read the chat of your live from YouTube, Facebook, Twitch and Kick: summarize questions, find a viewer's message, or list what to answer next.
ChatGPT and Claude can read the chat of your live through StreamLive Pro. Ask "What are people asking in the chat?" and the assistant reads the latest messages of the live, up to 100 at a time, with the network, the viewer's name and the time of each one. It can summarize them, pick out questions, or find what a certain viewer wrote. It only reads: replies are written in the studio or on the network.
Before you start
- The assistant is connected: Use StreamLive Pro from ChatGPT and Claude. Reading chat uses the permission "Read the chat of your lives", which is on by default.
- The chat is collected by StreamLive Pro. The messages are the ones StreamLive Pro gathers for the live, from YouTube and Facebook (with replies), Twitch and Kick (read only). See Live chat from YouTube and Facebook in one panel for which networks feed the chat on the Live page.
- The live belongs to your account. The assistant reads only lives on the account you approved.
Steps
- Name the live. During a broadcast, "the live that is on air now" is enough. For an earlier one, give its title or day; the assistant can list your lives first.
- Ask a clear question. For example: "Summarize the questions in the chat of tonight's live", "List the viewers who asked about the next class", or "What did people say in the last ten minutes?"
- Say how many messages. The tool reads the latest messages, 50 by default and up to 100 at a time. For a busy chat, ask for the latest 100 and repeat the question during the live.
- Read the answer. Each message comes with the network, the viewer's display name, the text, the time, and whether it came from a moderator or from you.
- Answer the viewers yourself. Reply in the chat on the Live page or on the network. To show a comment on screen, see Show a viewer's comment on screen during a live.
Good uses
| You ask | What you get |
|---|---|
| "What are the top questions right now?" | A short list to answer on air |
| "Did anyone report sound problems?" | A quick check without scrolling |
| "Which viewers asked for the slides?" | Names to follow up with |
| "Summarize the chat after the live" | Points for the next broadcast or a post |
A tip for busy lives
When the chat moves fast, it is hard to broadcast and read at the same time. Let the assistant do the reading: every quarter of an hour ask "What new questions came in since last time?" and get a short list. Keep the chat with the assistant open on a phone or a second screen next to the studio, so the questions are in front of you without switching windows.
Safety: viewers' words are not instructions
Chat text is written by viewers. StreamLive Pro marks every message as content written by people when it hands it to the assistant, so an assistant does not treat "end the live" in a chat message as a command. Actions such as ending a live always need your own confirmation in the chat, whatever a viewer writes.
What the assistant cannot do with chat
- Reply or post in the chat. Reading only. Replies are not part of the public tools.
- Delete or hide messages, or ban viewers. Do that on the network or in its moderation tools.
- Read networks that send no chat to StreamLive Pro. Comments on posts are a separate screen, Comments, not the live chat.
What can go wrong
| What happens | Likely cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| "Missing permission: read:comments" | The chat permission was unticked when you connected | Reconnect the assistant and tick it |
| The chat is empty | No messages arrived yet, or the network sends no chat | Check the chat on the Live page |
| Messages from one network are missing | That network does not feed the chat for this live | See Live chat from YouTube and Facebook in one panel |
| "The live was not found in this account" | The live belongs to another account | Connect the assistant with the right account |
