Start your own simulated live show—with an AI audience that responds to you. SquadLive is an AI live simulator for casual chats, creator Q&A, show-and-tell, and getting comfortable on camera. Speak naturally and your selected AI companions reply, one speaker at a time. Your room comes alive with simulated comments, reactions, hearts, and virtual gifts. CHOOSE A MOMENT • Just chat: share a story or talk about your day. • Creator Q&A: try answering questions from a virtual audience. • Show & tell: introduce an item or idea you enjoy. MAKE THE ROOM YOURS Choose AI companions and audience moods. Customize comments, simulated audience size, visual effects, and gifts. Selected companions share recent conversation context within the current session. Ask them to pause while you finish speaking. KEEP A MOMENT When a session recording is available, choose a clip to save or share. Review your session history and come back for another conversation. Recordings stay on your device unless you choose to share them. FREE EXPERIENCE AND OPTIONAL PURCHASES The standard audience setting of 500 simulated viewers costs no coins. A first-session audience offer, when available, is verified on the server. Larger audience settings and in-session audience boosts are optional one-time coin purchases. You see a confirmation before starting a new paid audience purchase. AI replies and time spent in a session do not spend coins. After 10 minutes, free AI activity may slow if the coin balance is below 100 and no audience boost has been added. PRO removes this low-balance activity slowdown and provides a livelier simulated room. Selected AI friends take turns; PRO does not promise simultaneous replies or include coin packs. SUBSCRIPTIONS PRO is an auto-renewing subscription. Available plans, localized prices, and any eligible introductory trial are shown in the app and confirmed by the App Store. Payment is charged to your Apple ID at purchase confirmation or after an eligible trial. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel your plan in App Store subscription settings. Coin packs are separate one-time purchases. IMPORTANT SquadLive is an entertainment simulation. It does not broadcast to a real public audience. Viewer counts, comments, reactions, hearts, and gifts are virtual. They do not measure real popularity, income, or speaking ability. AI may make mistakes. Conversation memory is limited to recent context within a session. Coins are for supported simulated in-app features. They cannot be transferred, withdrawn, or redeemed for cash. Camera scene analysis runs on your device; conversation text and limited scene context are sent to the AI service for replies.
