The system supports solo AI character streams and real-time co-appearances with a streamer. Under Inuyama Tamaki's supervision, Trippy handled AI and character development while Don't Disturb drove the project.","whyItMatters":"The companies built the system to handle response delays, speech overlap, missed Super Chats, and audio dropouts in live streams, and they plan to expand it to other VTubers and character IPs.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eThe stream ran from 23:00 on September 22, 2026, and the AI Tamahime unveiling begins at 41:14 in the archive.

The system Trippy and Don't Disturb developed supports real-time co-appearances with a streamer, so the AI character has to hold a shared live frame with a human performer, which is the harder part to get right.","newsletterBlurb":"Trippy and Don't Disturb jointly developed a streaming system for AI characters and used it to unveil AI Tamahime during Inuyama Tamaki's 8th anniversary stream on September 22, 2026.
