What is an IRC radio bot for?
So your IRC community always knows what's playing and who's on air, and to bring listeners in from the chat without anyone pasting the link by hand.
What is an Eggdrop?
It's one of the oldest and most widely used IRC bots, in development since 1993: stable, lightweight and extensible with Tcl scripts. Your bot is a real Eggdrop running on our server, not a program on your computer.
Can the bot identify its nick?
Yes. If the bot's nick is registered on the network, you enter its password and your network's identify command (for example /msg NickServ IDENTIFY) in the order, and the bot identifies itself every time it connects.
Do you charge a setup or maintenance fee?
No. There's no initial setup fee and no maintenance charges: you only pay for the period you choose.
How does the bot's AI work?
It's optional. Your users ask the bot in the channel and it answers with AI. We install and configure it at no extra cost, but AI usage is on you: you create your own API key with an AI provider (for example OpenAI) and pay them directly for what you use. We recommend setting a spending limit in your provider account.
Can I use my own Tcl scripts?
Yes. Send us the script you want to use; we review it and, if it's safe and compatible, we install and configure it on your bot.
Does it work with any radio?
It works with radios hosted with us and with Shoutcast or Icecast radios that publish now-playing information.
Which IRC networks does it work on?
On IRC networks that allow bots, following each network's rules.
What uptime do you offer?
Our servers offer 99.9% monthly uptime. This service also depends on the IRC network where the bot runs: a failure or disconnection on their end affects it until it is resolved, which is outside our control.
Are there discounts?
Yes: 3% when paying 3 months, 5% for 6 months and 10% for a full year.
