POWERED BY STREAMLABS AI
Streamlabs Sidekick
An intelligent streaming agent that works as your virtual co‑host, live producer and tech support—working together so you can focus on creating.
Live Producer
Use simple voice commands to switch scenes, control audio, engage with your chat, provide commentary, and more without lifting a finger.
Customize your 2D or 3D Avatar
Keep it subtle with voice-only enabled, or bring it to life with a 3D or 2D avatar. 2D avatars allow you to take advantage of having your sidekick on-screen without high impact on your CPU.
Customize your avatar with accessories, a name, and a voice of your choice.
Tech Support
Real-time troubleshooting, so you can focus on streaming—not settings.
Built with the best in AI
Developed using technology from NVIDIA and Inworld for lifelike 3D avatars and real-time intelligence.
How it Works
Install the app in Streamlabs Desktop. Choose sidekick on‑screen or background mode only.
Customize your settings and choose either a 2D or 3D Avatar that matches your brand.
Stream as usual while your Sidekick helps you with switching scenes, discussion topics, tech support, and more so you can focus on your audience.

Key specs
Co-host, producer, and tech support features run locally with minimal system impact (~3% GPU in internal tests). The optional 3D avatar will require additional resources, however the 2D avatar is low impact.
Fortnite, Valorant, PUBG, and Counter-Strike 2 are all fully supported.
Keep an eye out for additional game support.
Use the 3D or 2D avatar on stream, or run the Sidekick in background mode as a silent assistant.

Yes, but with limitations. Avatars on screen are not supported with AMD GPUs. However, all other functionality (such as audio-only mode, etc.) will still work.
Yes. The Free plan works with limited interactions and automations. Ultra and Ultra Plus unlock higher usage and are designed for streamers who want higher limits for interactions.
An interaction is any response from the Sidekick, either by text or voice. For example, if you type a question into chat, the Sidekick’s answer counts as an interaction. If you ask it to change scenes, that also counts—unless it happens through an automation without the avatar commenting, in which case it does not. Actions like switching scenes or clipping highlights on their own are not interactions unless the Sidekick responds verbally or via text.
No. The counter resets at the start of each calendar month.
Yes, you can choose from a variety of avatars and customize their personality and appearance to fit your brand.
These are the minimum system requirements to use the on-screen 3D avatar. If you are using Sidekick in voice-only mode or using any of our 2D Avatars, you only need to meet Streamlabs Desktop minimum requirements.
