📘 About

Twitch chat simulator currently in Beta 0.5.
It’s designed to recreate the energy and madness of a live Twitch chat using artificial intelligence.
⚠️ Features are experimental and the experience may change as we iterate!

The idea? When you want to test a stream, bot, or script but don’t have hundreds of real viewers, EcomineAI fills the void with:

• Realistic chat behavior
• Emote spam
• Hyper, salty, or chill reactions
• AI-driven personalities

Whether you're debugging a chatbot, practising streaming, or just goofing around, TWITCHCHAT‑SIM pumps in the life you crave.

• 🖥️ Interactive CLI or GUI – chat back and forth in real-time
• 🤖 AI Responses powered by Gemma 3 3-7B – local model shipped via LM Studio (default, no external API required)
