A guided onboarding app for aspiring VTubers that helps camera-shy creators design their persona, commission a model, set up their first stream, and grow an audience.
Would-be streamers and creators (often anime fans or introverts) who want to start YouTube or Twitch but feel blocked by appearing on camera
- Persona builder that generates a character concept (visual style, archetype, voice tone, lore) from a short quiz and produces a model-commission brief ready to send to Live2D/3D artists
- First-stream coach with 30/60/90-day content plans, script templates, and topic ideas tuned to niche and persona
- Setup advisor recommending mic, webcam-free streaming tools (VTube Studio, OBS), and tracker configurations for the chosen platform
- Growth tracker that benchmarks follower growth, average viewers, and chat engagement against similar-size VTubers in the same niche
