SOOP Launches AI Manager to Maintain Streamer Broadcast Flow, User Engagement
SOOP has launched SARSA 2.0, an AI manager designed for streamers that automates viewer interaction and content recommendations. This AI learns a streamer's unique speech and style to maintain broadcast flow when the streamer is away, providing continuous engagement with users. The service is linked to the Frick Shot Plus broadcast program, allowing streamers to activate the AI manager during broadcast settings.
Key Takeaways
- SARSA 2.0 uses AI to mimic a streamer's unique tone and broadcast atmosphere, continuing conversations and recommending content to viewers.
- The AI manager can take over a live stream if a streamer manually activates it or if an absence is detected for a specific duration.
- Streamer Murdoch successfully trialed SARSA 2.0 on June 6, with a virtual avatar engaging users in his style while he was away.
- SOOP plans to expand SARSA 2.0 availability based on usage patterns and user feedback, starting with a limited set of streamers.
Additional Context
Following the launch of SARSA 2.0, SOOP outlined plans to expand its AI initiatives, extending beyond engagement tools to areas like revenue generation and specific content genres. A March 2026 Chosun.com report indicated SOOP’s broader AI strategy includes generative AI video manufacturing tools like SAVYG (Soop AI Video Yielding Generative) for personalized content creation. This suggests a move toward AI-supported content models that assist streamers with both interaction and content production. The March report also noted potential future applications for SARSA, such as live commentary for game and sports broadcasts, even in a streamer's absence, and connecting AI to brand sponsorships for product recognition and information. This indicates a strategic direction where AI could become integral to both content delivery and the monetization ecosystem within SOOP’s platform.
