AI Transparency

with commitments to creators and climate

FrostyTools is built for live creators and the communities they stream with. When FrostyTools uses AI, it should be visible, controllable, respectful of creative work, and measured against its climate and energy impact. This page lists where AI appears, what each product reads and writes, what FrostyTools will not generate, and the benchmarks we use to keep improving.

The Frosty AI Scale

The scale is intentionally small. It tells you whether a product uses no AI, analysis-only AI, generative text AI, or a class of generation FrostyTools does not use.

L0

No AI

This product does not use any kind of AI or LLM.

L1

Non-Generative AI Analysis

Measures what already happened — chat reactions, audio peaks, scene changes, channel matches — and returns timestamps and rankings. It generates no text, images or audio.

L2

Generative Text AI

Generates text from public chat content you authorize and public Twitch profiles. Always public-facing, always with your permission. You can turn this feature on or off at any time in your dashboard.

L3

Generative Images and Video

FrostyTools does not generate images, video, or artwork in its output. You will never see generative art landing in your stream. While we are innovators and creators who love new technology, we are equally passionate about protecting our community of amazing humans and their creative works.

Climate and Energy

These are the standing facts shown inside every product disclosure dialog. The buttons below go directly to the Stripe Climate page and the FrostyTools energy methodology.

Climate

FrostyTools operates on very thin margins and we are deeply committed to being socially and ecologically responsible. All Benefactor plans and token purchases support carbon removal through the Stripe Climate Initiative. Free plans carry no climate contribution with free usage subsidized by Benefactors. If you are using a FrostyTools Free Plan, please consider becoming a Benefactor to help offset your carbon impact.

Energy

A three-hour broadcast to 200 viewers costs about 49 kilowatt-hours. Frosty's typical text generation across that same stream costs about 1.9 watt-hours. The stream burns Frosty's entire three-hour total every half second. Internal auditing records the tokens in and out of every AI request, so Frosty's figure comes from more than a million real generations, including failed attempts.

SMART Chatbot
Frosty AI ScaleL2Generative Text AI · from public, authorised content

A co-host that welcomes, answers and hypes your community — nobody gets ignored while you play.

What it reads

Recent chat messages, your stream title and category, and the public profile of whoever you shout out.

What it writes

Only the features you've switched on. Every message type has a live preview and an edit button before it ever posts.

What it never does

It doesn't moderate, ban or speak as you outside chat. Your chat is used to write your messages in the moment — it's never sent back to train the model.

Highlight Hunter + Shortify+ ShortifyHighlight Hunter + Shortify
Frosty AI ScaleL1Non-Generative AI Analysis

Tonight's best moments, cut vertical and ready to post by morning.

What it analyses

Chat velocity and emote bursts, audio peaks, and scene changes across your VOD.

What it produces

Suggested clip in and out points. Shortify crops to vertical by tracking the action in frame.

What it never does

No generated voice, no invented captions, no edits to what you actually said.

Vibe RaiderVibe Raider
Frosty AI ScaleL0No AI

Send your raid somewhere it lands — an audience that matches yours.

How it works

Filters plus a deterministic score you can see, adjust and sort.

What it never does

No model picks your raid target. The list is sorted; the choice is yours.

Your data

Only your channel's public category and tags are used to build the list.

Chat QuizChat Quiz
Frosty AI ScaleL2Generative Text AI · from public, authorised content

Chat pays bits to quiz you — every round pays out while you bond with them.

What it reads

Your public chat history and stream transcripts from the last 30 days.

What it writes

Multiple-choice questions and answers. Skip or regenerate any question before it airs.

What it never does

It won't invent facts about you from anywhere outside your own channel, and your transcripts are never used to train the model.

Overlays & TTS
Frosty AI ScaleL0No AI

Shoutouts land on screen, not buried in chat — one OBS source.

How it works

A browser source that displays the shoutouts, alerts and TTS messages you or your chat trigger.

The voices

Pre-built speech synthesis, the same class of engine your operating system uses.

Your data

Nothing from your overlay is sent anywhere except your own OBS.

Jackbox Lobbies
Frosty AI ScaleL0No AI

Play with your viewers, not the trolls who found your room code.

How it works

Only viewers who meet your rules ever see the room code.

What it never does

No behaviour model, no risk score attached to your viewers.

Your data

Room codes and allow-lists stay on your channel.

StreamCardStreamCard
Frosty AI ScaleL2Generative Text AI · from public, authorised content

A collectible card of your channel your chat will actually share.

What it reads

Your public channel stats, categories you stream and your own chat — nothing from anyone else's channel.

What it writes

Your creature's traits, stats wording and flavour text. Reroll it as many times as you like.

The artwork

Every creature, frame and finish is hand-illustrated. No generated art, ever.

My QR
Frosty AI ScaleL0No AI

Turn IRL crowds and offline screens into followers with one scan.

How it works

Your channel link, encoded as a scannable code with your brand colours.

What it never does

No tracking beyond the referral data Twitch already gives you.

Your data

Just your channel URL.
