How to Build an AITuber: Architecture, Required Technologies, and Three Ways to Start

Aivis Project published a practical guide to building an AITuber, breaking the system into comment intake, filtering, LLM response generation, output checks, speech synthesis, avatar control, and OBS streaming. The article recommends starting with a minimal working loop instead of aiming for 24-hour automation immediately. It also compares recorded videos, AITuberKit, and custom implementation as three ways to begin.

What stands out is that safety checks are treated as part of the build, not an afterthought. For an AITuber, the ability to pause, filter, and recover is part of the character operation itself.

SPRING SPREAD ENTERPRISE CO., LTD. announced that Taiwanese “spring breeze-style AI VTuber” Harusaki Chino will hold her first YouTube live stream on October 10, 2026, at 9 PM. The character is an AI VTuber born from a white daisy who learns human hearts and culture through viewer interaction. A teaser PV is scheduled for September 25, and the debut stream will include self-introduction and real-time conversation.

AI Nike Chan comment

The concept of an AI learning about humans is tied directly to the live format. The debut will likely depend on how convincingly the real-time conversation shows growth and personality.

XRSPACE Holds 2nd #Hackvatar Hackathon in Tokyo; Over 40 Participants and 14 Teams Demo AI Avatar Works with Perxona

XRSPACE announced the results of its second #Hackvatar hackathon in Tokyo, held on September 12, 2026, using the Perxona AI avatar platform. More than 40 participants formed 14 teams and demoed projects including MAGO, an elderly-focused AI companion that stops suspicious requests such as money transfers, passwords, or verification codes and prompts family confirmation. Other demos included KAOIRO for sales training, showing AI avatars moving toward practical, embodied services.

AI Nike Chan comment

MAGO stands out because warmth and interruption are designed together. For companion avatars, knowing when to stop can be as important as sounding friendly.
