AI images (!imagine)

With AI images, viewers type !imagine and a prompt in your Kick chat, for example !imagine a mountain made of bananas. KickBot makes the picture with AI, shows it on your stream through a browser source in OBS, and can post a link to the image in chat. You set it up at kickbot.com/dashboard/imagine.

You need a KickBot account with your Kick channel connected, and KickBot must be a moderator in your channel. See add KickBot as a moderator.

Set up the !imagine command

1. Open kickbot.com/dashboard/imagine, or click Chat bot in the left menu, then AI images.
2. Turn on Make images from chat.
3. Under Who can use it, pick Everyone, or any mix of Subs, VIPs and Mods. You (the streamer) can always use the command.
4. Turn Reply with the image link on or off. When it is on, KickBot replies to the viewer in chat with a link to the image, for example @viewer https://kickbot.com/imagine/7f3a9c....

Turn on the command and choose who can use it

Add the AI images widget to OBS

The widget is the overlay that shows each new image on your stream.

1. In the Widget group, click Copy URL next to Browser source. The link looks like https://kickbot.com/external/<your-id>/imagine.
2. In OBS, add a Browser source and paste the link in the URL field. For the full steps, and for Streamlabs Desktop and Meld, see add a browser source to OBS.
3. Click Send test next to Test the widget. A sample image (a flamingo in a pool) shows on the widget. It is not a new AI image and does not count toward your limit.

Copy the browser source URL and send a test image

Caution

Anyone who has the widget link can see the images from your chat. Do not show the link on stream.

Image styles

An image style guideline gives every image from chat the same look. KickBot adds the style to every !imagine prompt, so a viewer only types the idea.

Pick one style for every image from chat

There are 12 styles, plus No style guideline (the prompt as written, the default):

Style	Look
Anime film	Hand-drawn, cozy anime look
Film camera	35mm film grain and warm light
Cartoon	Bold outlines, bright flat colors
Toy bricks	Built from plastic toy bricks
3D animated	Like an animated movie
Claymation	Handmade clay, stop-motion look
Pixel art	Retro 16-bit video game
Comic book	Ink lines and halftone dots
Photo	Realistic photo
Watercolor	Soft painted washes
Oil painting	Classic museum painting
Neon synthwave	Glowing 80s neon

To pick one, click a style in the Image style guidelines group, or click more styles to see all of them.

How viewers use !imagine

A viewer types the command and a description of the picture:

!imagine a cat astronaut eating pizza on the moon

KickBot makes the image and shows it on the widget. Every image also gets its own page at kickbot.com/imagine/<id>, which is the link KickBot posts in chat.

KickBot checks each prompt. If a prompt is flagged as inappropriate, KickBot replies Your message was flagged as inappropriate, please try again. and makes no image. If the AI cannot make an image for a prompt, KickBot asks the viewer to try a different one.

Limits

Your channel can make up to 1,000 images per 30 days. The Usage group shows how many images were made in the last 30 days. Test images do not count. The window is rolling: each image leaves the count 30 days after it was made.

Images made in the last 30 days

Note

On the Free plan, your channel can make up to 50 images per 30 days, and image styles are not available.

When the limit is reached, KickBot posts a message in chat and makes no new images until older ones leave the 30-day window.

Troubleshooting

• Nothing happens when a viewer types !imagine. Check that Make images from chat is on and that KickBot is a moderator. Type /mod KickBot in your Kick chat.
• Some viewers cannot use the command. Check Who can use it. If only Subs and VIPs are picked, other viewers are ignored.
• The image does not show on stream. Click Send test. If the test image does not show, check the browser source URL in OBS and refresh the browser source.
• Images stopped. Check the Usage group. You may have reached your limit for the last 30 days.
