The Twitch star also revealed that more AI Buds are coming in the future that will feature other creators. However, he didn’t share when those will be released or who it’ll feature.
Fans took to the comments to share their thoughts on the announcement, with many excited to try it hands on.
“Finally I get to hear that I’m out of mana from Tyler1,” one user replied.
Another said: “WOW I CANT WAIT TO USE IT HOLY SH*T.”
“This is great Tyler – Happy for you on this venture! Best of luck,” a third commented.
Tyler1’s not the first to launch an AI chatbot using their likeness, either. Back in January 2024, Amouranth released an AI-influencer based on her own personality.
