Who I Am

Hi, I'm Kristen. Most of the internet calls me Kitty.

I started streaming in 2013. By 2018 I had a million followers and I was bored out of my mind, so I logged off for a while and worked out what I actually wanted to make. Now I'm back full-time, building AI tools live on Twitch with the kitty team in the loop for all of it.

Curiosity is the whole brand.

I once lost a week of my life to Factorio because my brother kept showing me his factory and it just looked like a circuit board to me. I wanted to understand what I was looking at. After a week I was pretty proud of myself, and then he told me I was about 10% through the first world. That's more or less how I get into everything.

2013

Started streaming

One webcam, a few viewers, and no idea it would become a career.

2018

A million followers

Streams, esports, hosting. Also, quietly, the year I started getting bored.

2025

The break

Logged off, stopped performing, and figured out what I actually wanted to make.

Recently

Found vibe coding

Turns out the tools I always wished existed were things I could just make.

Today

Building software, live

Back full-time, shipping apps in public with the kitty team in the loop. Yes, they vote on things.

What I'm Building

Projects, in progress and in public

Some shipped, some half-built, all of it made in public. These are the things currently taking up desk space in my brain.

Live

KittyPlays Streams

The main event. Games, builds, and kitty team chaos on Twitch. The good parts end up on YouTube.

Early access

Mira

My stream copilot. She hears the stream, reads chat, and drives the overlay. She remembers who you are, picks her favourite comments of the night, runs the prediction bets, and translates for the parts of chat that don't speak English. Right now she's mostly a bunch of shapes. She's getting a real body, and she's going open source.

Shipped

Mirai

AI tarot reading on the go. Built it, shipped it, and grew the Mirai Oracle account around it. I keep threatening to rebuild the whole thing in a day, and honestly I probably could.

Live

Radiant

A focus OS for creators and founders. Dump the messy thoughts in, let AI sort them into tasks, questions and decisions, and get one clear answer to what actually matters today. Built on stream by someone with the exact focus problem it solves.

Early MVP

Clippurr

Point it at your VODs and it finds the moments worth clipping, scored and sorted and ready to edit. Self-hosted, bring your own keys, so your clips and chat never touch anyone else's server. Purrs not included.

Shipped

CNB Innovations

Lead gen and back-office ops for an experiential fabrication company. Estimating, rate cards, proposals, and an opportunity engine, so the people actually building the thing aren't stuck in spreadsheets at midnight.

Weekly

Vibe Coding Show & Tell

A weekly show where other vibe coders bring the thing they built and show it off. Submit yours, come on, walk us through it. Nobody has to be an engineer.

Content

Latest from the stream

Highlights, build-with-me sessions, and full VODs. If this looks quiet, refresh it. I stream a lot.

Community

Come for the games, stay for the people

They're called the kitty team. You can't really explain a community, you kind of have to be in it, but here's a taste.

"Came for the dev stream, stayed for Mira."
โ€” @t0by_0ne_ken0bi, Twitch chat
"if you feel like dming me the mira 3d concept i will attempt to try to build her model"
โ€” @trushion, Twitch chat
"I fear we need to start asking how both you and Mira are doing lol"

For Brands

Let's make something people actually watch

I only partner on things I'd actually use. Real testing, not generic ad reads, which is exactly why integrations land with my audience.

Flagship ยท AI Collaborations

We'll spend three weeks building something ridiculous with your API.

The offer almost no other creator can make: I build something real with your product, live, in front of an audience of gamers and builders. One campaign is simultaneously a product demo, developer content, social content, a launch story, and PR.

๐ŸŽ™ An AI NPC that talks to Twitch chat ๐Ÿ•น A chat-controlled game on your platform ๐Ÿ”ง "Can your product replace my streaming stack?"
01

Sponsored streams & Twitch integrations

Dedicated or segment-based live integrations: gameplay, launches, events, or challenges built around your product.

02

AI demos & dev-tool showcases

Most sponsored content demonstrates features. We ship working projects, live, with my audience watching exactly how your product performs.

03

YouTube, Shorts & Instagram

Placements built into content people already want to watch, long-form and short, with clear disclosure and enough creative control to keep it watchable.

04

Game & product launches

First-look gameplay, launch-day streams, and honest impressions for titles and products that fit my community.

05

Live events & hosting

On-stage hosting, event coverage, and appearances. A decade of live experience, comfortable on any stage.

  • Technical enough to actually explain your product
  • Long-form storytelling, not 30-second ad reads
  • Highly engaged community that trusts what I use
