# KickBot docs

> How to set up and use every KickBot feature on your Kick stream, from the chat bot and alerts to text-to-speech, overlays, tipping, clips and VODs.

Source: https://kickbot.com/docs

KickBot is an all-in-one toolkit for streamers on [Kick](https://kick.com). It gives your channel a chat bot, chat alerts, AI text-to-speech with more than 3,000 voices, OBS overlays, viewer tipping, a `!clip` command, a VOD downloader and editor, and AI features such as an AI chat character and AI images. More than 150,000 streamers use it.

KickBot runs in the cloud. You set everything up at [kickbot.com/dashboard](https://kickbot.com/dashboard), and there is nothing to install. Overlays go into OBS (or any streaming app) as a browser source.

## Start here

1. [Create your KickBot account](https://kickbot.com/docs/getting-started/create-your-account) and connect your Kick channel.
2. [Add KickBot as a moderator](https://kickbot.com/docs/getting-started/add-kickbot-as-moderator) so it can post and moderate in your chat.
3. [Let AI set up your channel](https://kickbot.com/docs/getting-started/ai-setup), or turn on features one by one.
4. [Add KickBot overlays to OBS](https://kickbot.com/docs/getting-started/add-browser-source-obs).
