Twitch chat bot
Ask it something, get a real answer.
germans watches chat for 40 commands and replies with live data — last night's scores, someone's Letterboxd diary, their last chess game, or three reels of a slot machine. No dashboard to learn, no points to farm. Type the command, read the reply.

Scores without leaving chat
Five sports and eight soccer leagues, read straight off ESPN's scoreboards and cached for thirty seconds so a busy chat doesn't hammer them. Live games are listed first. Save your team once and the bare command shows only them — and pings you when they kick off.

Two ways to lose a bet
Duels put a timeout on the line: challenge someone, agree how long the loser sits out, and the bot handles the timeout and keeps the records. The slot machine is simple odds, seven emojis and no currency — 🍒 lands about one spin in 46, 💎 about one in 4,630. Both keep a leaderboard per channel.

What they've been watching and playing
Letterboxd diaries, Chess.com games and AniList progress, all read from public profiles — no logins, no tokens, nothing stored but the username you choose to save. Twelve Letterboxd commands alone, down to comparing two people's diaries and finding the film they disagree about most.

Four things run in the background and post on their own. Any of them can be switched off per channel, so a chat that doesn't want them never sees them.
New Twitch badges
The global badge list is checked every few minutes and anything new is announced with a link to the image. Those links open on this site, because Twitch's own CDN labels badge images as a download rather than a picture.
- New twitch global badge: Wolf Medallion — …
New 7TV cosmetics
Paints and badges as they appear on 7TV. Paints are usually CSS gradients with no image file at all, so those link to a page that can actually render them.
- (7TV) New 7TV paint: Refractive oA — …
Your team's game
Anyone who saved a team with -setteam gets a ping in the channel when that team kicks off, and again at the final whistle. No one has to watch the clock.
Streamers going live
A watch list, announced in the channels you pick — never in the streamer's own chat, where everybody already knows.

Three ways to run it in your channel
Nothing here needs a control panel. Every group of commands has a switch that any moderator can flip from chat, and it only ever affects the channel it was typed in.
Everything on
All seven groups answer anyone, plus the badge and 7TV announcements. This is how a channel starts out.
Only what suits the chat
Switch off what doesn't fit and keep the rest — a film channel that wants Letterboxd but no slot machine, say.
- -toggle spin off
- -toggle letterboxd on
Commands only
Turn off the two announcement groups and the bot never speaks unless somebody asks it something.
- -toggle badges off
- -toggle 7tv off
The unglamorous half
Most of this exists because something went wrong once.
Ten seconds per person on lookups, five on duels, four on the save commands. Moderators and the broadcaster are exempt, so one viewer holding a key down can't flood a chat.
Film titles, badge names and profile text all come from other people's data, so every outgoing message is checked against a word list first. Anything that trips it is dropped rather than posted — that has already caught a film title it shouldn't have repeated.
Saved teams and linked Letterboxd, Chess.com and AniList names sit on the machine running the bot and nowhere else. -setlb clear and -unset all delete them whenever you want.
One PC, not a rented server. That's honest about what it is: if the machine is off, the bot is quiet. It reconnects by itself and carries on.
Announcement links point at germans.pages.dev, which passes you straight to the real image on Twitch's or 7TV's servers. Nothing is hosted here and nothing is tracked.
If a command answers wrongly or the bot goes quiet in your channel, say so rather than waiting for it to right itself. Here's how to reach me.
Want it in your chat?
Ask, mod it once it joins, and that's the setup finished. It's free, and there's nothing to sign in to.
