Ensure you have granted Moderator status to KickBot or BotRix at dashboard.kick.com/community/moderators. Without moderator privileges, the bot cannot send messages or purge chat spam.

Yes. A recommended setup: use KickBot for AI TTS voice reading + !clip tools, and BotRix for OBS Alerts, subscriber-exempt link protection, and the Now Playing music overlay.
