Initial problem
I wanted to explore how AI voice synthesis could make donation messages in live streams more expressive. My aim was to bring voice selection, soundboard effects, and real time delivery to a stream overlay together in an application of my own.
Implementation
I built AI Donations with a React frontend, Go microservices, and PostgreSQL. I integrated ElevenLabs for voice synthesis, added voice selection and soundboard effects, and delivered messages to the stream overlay via WebSocket. The project received support through an ElevenLabs Grant. I am not actively using AI Donations at the moment, so I have taken the hosted app offline.
