with the migration to our new system now completed, we wanted to take the time to give you the detailed follow-up announcement we still owed you.

In our earlier development update, we explained why we were rebuilding the aiosbot core from the ground up. The main reason was simple: the old foundation had reached the point where further expansion would have become increasingly difficult, both technically and structurally.

Instead of continuing to build on top of limits, we decided to create a system that is:

• more secure

• more scalable

• easier to maintain

• significantly more flexible for future growth

Now that the migration is complete, we can finally talk about what this transition actually brought into the live system.

This was not just a backend replacement. A large number of improvements, new features, usability changes, and structural upgrades have already become part of the new aiosbot environment.

⚠️ What You Should Do First

Before we go into the details, here are the most important steps for current users:

• 🔐 Reauthorize your bot in the web interface if you have not already done so

• ⚙️ Review your settings and actions (especially advanced automations)

• 🛠️ If something does not work as expected, open a support ticket with a short description and a screenshot

This is important because the new system includes:

• a redesigned authorization layer

• updated action handling

• new event logic

• revised permission handling

🏗️ A New Foundation for Security, Stability and Growth

The largest change is the new core architecture.

A significant amount of work went into improvements that are not always immediately visible, but are critical for long-term reliability:

• fully migrated system core

• reworked Twitch and Discord authorization workflows

• improved internal infrastructure for better stability and security

• cleaner parameter handling across the web interface

• improved visibility into action logic and system behavior

🔔 New Notification System

A particularly useful addition:

If an action runs into an issue, users with permission for that bot will now receive a notification automatically.

👉 This makes it much easier to detect and fix problems early.

🎮 Twitch Improvements

The Twitch side received major upgrades for both usability and advanced automation.

⚡ Smarter AutoActions

AutoActions can now differentiate between online and offline states.

Example:

• run every 5 minutes while live

• run every 30 minutes while offline

👉 More control, less unnecessary execution.

🧩 New Parameters and Expanded Flexibility

The new system introduces a wide range of additional parameters that make actions far more flexible than before.

One example is:

{random.viewer}

This parameter allows actions to dynamically insert a random username from chat.

Possible use cases include:

• randomly featuring a viewer in a message

• creating lightweight engagement moments

• building fun community interactions without custom scripting

And this is only one example.
The overall parameter system has been expanded significantly, giving users many more options to build dynamic, context-aware actions throughout the new aiosbot system.

⭐ Reworked Subscription Events

Subscription handling is now much more granular:

• configurable for months 1–12 individually

Example:

• Month 1 → simple thank-you

• Month 6 → special reward

• Month 12 → unique action

🎯 Improved Stream Category Handling

Changing stream category/game is now:

• more forgiving

• less error-prone

🛡️ Additional Features

• Watchtime Calculator

• Minimum Bits threshold (anti-spam)

• Improved moderation tools

• Custom Badword Filter

• StreamElements import (via support)

💬 Discord Improvements

Discord saw one of the biggest upgrades and is now a fully integrated automation platform.

🔔 New Discord Events

• reaction added

• reaction removed

• member joined

• member left

• voice channel join

👉 Enables much more reactive automation.

⚙️ New Discord Actions

• reply to message

• kick user

• ban user

• rename channel

• create channel

• move voice members

• send stream-live embeds

• send custom embeds

👉 Discord is now an active automation hub.

🚫 Filters

• Direct communication with the core development team

• Fast feedback loops for bug reports and feature suggestions

📌 How To Apply

A new forum category will be created for test applications.
You can find it here: https://aiosbot.com/forums/forum/31-closed-testing-application/

To apply, create a post including:

1. All Twitch moderators of your channel

2. Number of bots you operate

3. The name of each bot

4. Your Discord-Username

5. A short explanation of why you want to participate

This information is required to properly evaluate system load scenarios and permission structures.

🔐 Important: New Authentication Required

The new system introduces a completely redesigned authentication layer.

⚠️ A full re-authentication of the bot is required.

This will later apply to all users, but for now it is mandatory for test users.

Important:

• Only the bot owner can authenticate the bot via Twitch.

• Moderator-level authentication will not be sufficient.

• This is a strict security measure introduced with the new system core.

🟣 Twitch System Status

The Twitch module is fully migrated to the new architecture.

Currently functional:

• Channel Points

• Bits

• Commands

• Reactions

• EventActions

• Loyalty System (points for watching & chatting)

• Reward purchasing via loyalty points

• Reworked Autoban System

• Many new actions

• Fully reworked and improved URL-Filter

🔵 Discord Integration – Status

The Discord module is operational within the new system architecture.

Currently functional:

• Role assignment

• Automated message handling

• Command-based interactions

• Event-based actions

• Cross-system action compatibility

The Discord Support Ticket System remains on the previous system core and is not part of this testing phase.

Focus is currently on stabilizing the unified action architecture between Twitch and Discord.

🟢 Web Interface Redesign

The entire web interface has been rebuilt to:

• Simplify parameter handling

• Improve visibility of action logic

• Provide clearer structure

• Improve usability for complex action chains

New global feature:

✔️ “Only Execute If”

Every action can now define conditional execution rules.

This allows actions to only run if specific conditions are fulfilled, enabling significantly more precise automation chains.

🟡 Public API Status

The API system is nearly complete.

• Core functionality is implemented

• Structural foundation is finalized

• Stream Deck support remains planned

• Utility endpoints are currently not part of the system

🟢 aiostool

aiostool has been fully adapted to the new backend system and remains the secure local execution bridge.

It continues to operate within its sandbox architecture and is fully compatible with the redesigned core.

🚀 Why This Testing Phase Matters

This is not a minor update.
This is the foundation for the next generation of aiosbot.

Your participation helps us:

• Validate architecture decisions

• Stress-test the new authentication layer

• Improve UX before public rollout

• Ensure long-term stability

🤝 Active Support & Direct Development Influence

During the testing phase, we will actively assist you with the setup and migration to the new system.

Test users will not be left alone. We provide direct support during configuration, authentication and structural adjustments where needed.

At the same time, every tester can submit improvement suggestions at any time.
Your feedback will directly influence further development decisions.

This is not just a test phase. It is an opportunity to actively shape the future direction of aiosbot.

We recognize that communication has been sparse recently, and we appreciate your continued understanding. This silence is a direct result of our commitment to a complete, ground-up redevelopment of the core aiosbot system.

🧭 A Note on Resources and Dedication

We want to be fully transparent about the scope of this project and the team behind it. The entire aiosbot project is currently executed in our free time, alongside our primary private full-time jobs.

This complete system overhaul is demanding all of our available time and resources right now. As we are not yet an established company, our time capacity is naturally limited. However, please know that we are doing everything humanly possible to finalize this update as quickly as we can.

Our priority is not speed, but security and stability. We are extremely dedicated to delivering a safe, fully functional, and high-quality system that benefits everyone. We refuse to publish anything incomplete or rushed. Thank you for your continued patience as we build this robust foundation.

Development Status and Future Features

This extensive rebuild is necessary to establish a foundation that is highly robust, scalable, and future-proof, ensuring aiosbot remains the leading integration solution for Twitch and Discord. We are pleased to report that development is now significantly advanced, with only a few core functionalities remaining before we can move toward a release candidate.

We are currently targeting completion within the next few weeks. Please note: as this is a deep-level re-engineering project, all timelines and features mentioned below are subject to change as we finalize the system. We are sharing this information to provide transparency into our current development focus and the major benefits you can expect. This update is not yet live.

🎮 Enhanced Twitch Core Performance

The underlying Twitch integration has been entirely rewritten. This is set to deliver significantly improved performance, better management of parameters, and a wider array of Event Triggers for highly customized actions.

🗨️ Advanced Discord Message Commands

The integration of Discord is a priority. Upon launch, you will be able to define and use Discord Message Commands (e.g., !commandname). These commands will allow you to trigger core aiosbot functions directly from your Discord server, unifying your community control systems.

⚙️ Refined Parameter Management

The system for defining parameters within custom actions has been completely overhauled. The Web Interface will intelligently suggest only parameters that are technically viable for the specific action being configured. This enhancement will drastically reduce configuration errors and improve overall workflow efficiency.

🛡️ Granular Twitch Command Permissions

We are introducing a more sophisticated permissions system for Twitch commands, allowing for a finer-grained distinction of which user groups can execute specific commands.

🔗 Next-Generation URL Filtering System

We have engineered a new URL filter focused on unparalleled accuracy and security.

• Precision Detection: The filter is designed to identify and mitigate attempts to hide URLs using evasive tactics (such as spaces or character substitution) often used for malicious links.

• Actionable Events: The act of deleting a URL will be added as a triggerable event, allowing you to link further actions (e.g., sending automated warnings) to this moderation activity.

• Flexible Controls: Core features such as user group allowances, exempted URLs, and the ability to grant one-time URL posting permission will remain, enhanced by the new system's power.

✨ User Experience (UX) Enhancements

The Web Interface has undergone a substantial update focused on improved usability and design aesthetics. We have prioritized user experience and achieved significantly faster loading times for several key management pages.

🤖 API Control System

A new feature will allow users to control their own bot externally via a dedicated API. By generating an API URL and associating actions with it, you can integrate aiosbot with external tools like Stream Deck or custom applications.

🛠️ Streamlined Future Integrations (Internal)

A crucial benefit of this core redesign is the new simplified framework for system setup. This technical architecture will enable us to more easily and quickly integrate additional streaming platforms and services into the aiosbot ecosystem in the future.

We are dedicated to delivering this significant upgrade to you as quickly as possible, ensuring it meets the high standards of performance and reliability you expect. Thank you for your support as we build the future of aiosbot.

We will provide a formal announcement when a concrete release date is finalized.

• You can now share your custom actions with others and import shared actions directly into your dashboard.

• We’ve also added a set of pre-made action presets that you can use right away!

  This is especially helpful for new users who aren’t yet familiar with creating complex actions from scratch.

And this is just the beginning — we’ll continuously add more action presets over time, so stay tuned for new ideas and automations!

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug related to Twitch Channel-Points integration.

As always, feel free to share your feedback and let us know which action presets you’d like to see next! 🎉

🛠 Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug when adding a new bot.

• Fixed issues with linking Twitch channels.

• Corrected minor display bugs.

• Fixed incorrect Premium status display.

🌟 Premium System Update

While the base version of the bot remains 100% free, we’ve introduced three new Premium tiers:

• Silver

• Gold

• Platinum

These premium tiers offer expanded possibilities for action sequences and automations. However, as we’ve always promised:

We will never lock essential features behind a paywall. Security systems and core functionality remain free for everyone!

As we are still in development, we are currently working on a way to provide the premium status for free for every user while the development is still ongoing.

🔐 New Permissions System

The permissions system has been completely reworked!
Under “Bot - Permissions” in the sidebar, you can now fully manage and restrict access for each user.

Examples:

• Grant a user access to the Discord bot only.

• Or allow access to the Twitch bot only.

This gives you more control over who can manage specific bots and actions.

Build-Version: 5.8.2

With the new dashboard, you can easily monitor important stream information at a glance. Here's what you can do:

• 📺 Stream Status: Instantly see whether your stream is live or offline.

• 👥 Followers Count: View your current number of followers.

• 👀 Viewers Count: See how many viewers are currently watching.

• 💬 Chat Activity: Track the number of chat messages during the current stream (or the last stream if you're offline).

• Forum announcements are now displayed directly on the dashboard for better visibility.

⚙️ Action System Overhaul

• The process of adding actions in the interface has been reworked.

• A new drag & drop system lets you easily reorder actions when needed.

• The system has been unified across different types of actions for a more consistent experience.

• A bug that prevented actions from being added to reactions has been fixed.

• Object-type data, especially useful for aiostool actions, is now displayed in a clean key-value table format.

Thanks for your continued support and feedback — we’re constantly working to make the platform better!

Let me know if you'd like a shorter version or something more formal/informal.

We’d like to share a quick update on what we’ve been working on lately across the aiosbot ecosystem. From Twitch and Discord integration to local tools and upcoming API features – here’s a look at what’s new, what’s in the works, and what’s coming soon:

Twitch

• Channel Points Integration
  Fully implemented and highly flexible. You can now link channel point rewards to virtually any action. Whether it’s triggering in-game events, displaying overlays, or interacting with external devices – the possibilities are endless.

• Bits-Based Actions (in development)
  We’re working on letting viewers trigger specific actions by donating exact amounts of Bits – for example, 333 Bits could trigger one action, while 334 triggers another.

• Followbot Detection Enhancements
  A new feature is in the works that will allow you to remove (ban) detected followbots directly through the web interface – streamlining moderation during attacks.

• Overlay System (in testing)
  A fully customizable overlay system is being tested. It’s not ready for release yet, but development is actively ongoing. You’ll be able to display text, play videos or sounds, show counters, and more – all completely configurable to match your stream's style.

Discord

• Early Features in Action
  Some features are already live in our official Discord server, like the support ticket system. And just to be clear: everything we build is made for everyone – nothing is exclusive to our server.

• Development on Hold (for now)
  Since our current focus is on the Twitch bot, Discord development is temporarily paused. But don’t worry – it’ll resume once core Twitch features are finalized.

• Planned Features

  • Role assignment (on join, reaction, or message)

  • Auto-moderation tools

  • URL and bad word filters

  • Custom triggers and event-based actions

• Feature Requests Welcome
  Got ideas? Whether for Discord or anything else, we’d love to hear them:
  👉 https://aiosbot.com/forums/forum/18-feature-requests/

aiostool

• Secure Local Integration
  The aiostool acts as a trusted local bridge between your system and aiosbot. It runs scripts, executes functions, and brings logic to your setup – all without direct cloud dependency.

• Mod Support
  Developers can build their own mods to expand functionality, whether it’s automation, integration with local software, or reacting to bot events. Mods run in an isolated sandbox environment to ensure security and stability.

• CLI (Command-Line Interface)
  The CLI is a standalone tool (installed via NPM) designed for managing and testing mods. It lets you run, debug, and package your mods with ease – no GUI needed.

• End-to-End Encryption
  We’re actively rolling out full E2E encryption between aiostool and the backend, ensuring complete privacy and security for all transmitted data.

• Status
  The tool is currently in its testing phase and is expected to be publicly released very soon.

Public API

• Early Development Phase
  We’re building a public API that allows users to connect to their personal bot instance and trigger actions via custom endpoints.

• Custom Webhook Actions
  Users will be able to define endpoints that perform specific actions. For example, our own setup links the forum with Discord: when a user earns “Gold” status in the forum, a webhook triggers role assignment on Discord – fully automated.

• Utility Endpoints
  The API will include multipurpose endpoints like counters that can be queried, incremented, or reset – ideal for tracking anything from deaths to donations.

• Stream Deck Integration
  We’re developing a plugin for the Elgato Stream Deck that connects directly to the API. While counters are one example use case, the plugin is designed to support a wide range of interactions – all triggered at the press of a button.

Thanks for reading – and as always, thanks for your support, ideas, and feedback.
Stay tuned, and we’ll keep you posted on new features and releases!

Previously, accounts for the web interface and the forum were managed separately, which often led to confusion and unnecessary duplication. To resolve this and create a smoother, more consistent user experience, we’ve migrated all accounts from the web interface directly into the forum system.

From now on, there will only be one single account system, fully based on the forum. This means:

• One account for everything – whether you're accessing features on the website, using tools, or participating in discussions.

• Easier account management and a more integrated experience.

As part of this migration, all users are required to reset their password. For security reasons, we could not carry over your old password.

👉 Please use the “Forgot Password” option on the login page to set a new one.

We appreciate your understanding and support as we continue to improve the platform.

If you have any questions or run into issues, feel free to reach out to the support team.

Over the coming days and weeks, we will gradually transfer all relevant content to the new platform. Please bear with us as we go through this transition — some areas may still be incomplete or under construction.

Additionally, user management will now be handled directly through Invision. This change is part of our efforts to streamline account access and improve overall integration.

We’re still in the process of finalizing everything, and we appreciate your patience and understanding as we continue working behind the scenes.

Thank you for being part of the community!
