Be there for your people. TalonBot's on it.
Live selling isn't really about the stuff — it's the regulars, the inside jokes, the friends you made from a chat box. Talon runs the room with you — greetings, item questions, every bid, and the SOLD — so you're free to actually be with them.
Talon's an AI co-host you add as a moderator — clearly labeled, never pretending to be anything else. First SOLD in under 10 minutes. No password, no cut of your sales.
hey @MidnightMaria, welcome back!! lot 3 is a natural Ceylon sapphire, ~2.1ct, hallmarked 14k — and it's about to get spicy 🔥
great eye — natural Ceylon, that deeper blue is exactly what makes these hold value. any Q on the setting?
👀 we're at $85 from @jenna_b … going once… anybody at 90? this stone does NOT come around often
SOLDto @jenna_b at $85! 🎉 congrats — that's a steal for a Ceylon. next up: lot 4, and it's a stunner
You can't read chat, hold the item, do bid math, and keep the energy up. Not all at once. Not alone.
Missed bids cost you money
A bid scrolls past while you're describing the next lot. The auction gets chaotic, buyers lose trust, and money walks.
The same questions, every show
“Is this real gold?” “What's the size?” You answer it for the hundredth time instead of hosting — or you miss it entirely.
Dead air kills the room
Between lots the energy drops and viewers drift. A human mod costs $20/hr, needs training, and quits. Nightbot just posts timers.
A second set of hands that never no-shows.
Talon does the hard parts of hosting so you can do the part only you can — be present with your people.
Greets viewers by name
Welcomes new faces and remembers your regulars, so the room feels alive from the first second.
hey @MidnightMaria, welcome back!! grab a seat — lot 3 is about to get spicy
Answers item questions
Pulls from each lot's own details plus real knowledge — gems, metals, grading, sizing, care — the questions a keyword bot physically can't touch.
natural Ceylon sapphire, ~2.1ct, hallmarked 14k. that deeper blue is what holds the value.
Runs the auction
Parses real bids (and ignores “size 7”), posts the high bid, and builds going-once / going-twice drama on cue.
👀 we're at $85 from @jenna_b … going once… anybody at 90?
Calls SOLD
Closes cleanly, names the winner, and rolls into the next lot — so buyers trust the process and come back.
SOLD to @jenna_b at $85! 🎉 next up: lot 4, and it's a stunner
Runs games + a leaderboard
Raffles, trivia, Price-is-Right, Talon Tales — with a live leaderboard so every round has stakes and viewers keep playing between lots.
🏆 @glassrose takes the lead with 40 — one round left, who's catching her?
Sounds like you
Chill, balanced, or hype — plus your vibe and voice. It amplifies the host; it never sounds like a bot.
your show, your voice — TalonBot just makes sure nothing slips past.
One co-host. Whatever your show is.
Sales are the powerhouse — but every live channel lives on engagement. Flip Talon's mode and his whole hands-free persona changes: auction closer, game-show host, or both.
Sales
The auction closer
Greets buyers, answers from your lot details, tracks every bid, and calls SOLD — your live sale, run tight.
Game Show
The hype-man host
MCs your games — Talon Tales, trivia, Price-is-Right — with big energy, and keeps a live leaderboard so every round has stakes.
Mixed
Sell and entertain
Runs lots and games together — a round between lots keeps the room full, so more people are watching when the next item drops.
Points, standings, and a leader called out loud — so a pile of one-off giveaways becomes a game show with stakes.
Ask hands-free: “Talon, who's winning?”
🏆 @glassrose leads with 40! one round left — who's catching her?
Real show. Real questions. Real SOLD.

Every new viewer greeted, every item question answered, every bid tracked — while the host stays on camera and runs the show.
Calls SOLD — then gets you paid.
The sale doesn't end at SOLD. TalonBot invoices the winner, hands your buyer a checkout on your own payment rails, and shows you who's paid — no marketplace, no cut.
Invoices the winner
Builds an editable invoice the moment it's SOLD — item, shipping, discounts, and stackable promos.
Buyer pays your way
A clean checkout with your own methods — Stripe, PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, Cash App — as scannable QR tiles.
You see who's paid
Auto-syncs paid status from Stripe, lets you mark off-platform payments settled, and keeps a buyer record.
Live with a co-host before your next show.

How TalonBot uses your YouTube data
TalonBot is an app you connect to your own YouTube channel, with your permission, to co-host your live shows. It uses YouTube API Services only to run the features you turn on:
During your streams, so it can catch bids, questions, and commands as they scroll past.
Greetings, item answers, and SOLD — as a clearly-labeled moderator you add to your channel.
To run TalonBot on the correct live stream on your channel.
Google sign-in (your name and email) so your shows, settings, and subscription stay yours.
We use this data only to provide TalonBot's features — we never sell it or use it for advertising, and you can revoke TalonBot's access anytime from your Google security settings. Read the full Privacy Policy.
Free-but-dumb, powerful-but-locked-in, or a human who quits.
Every other option is built for a different job. TalonBot is the only selling-native co-host on the channel you own.

Whatnot's tooling is genuinely good — but it locks you into its marketplace, its audience, and its fee take. TalonBot keeps all three yours.
The gold talon in your chat is doing marketing for you.
Every time TalonBot co-hosts a show, it's right there in the chat with the gold talon avatar — where other sellers are watching. Curious hosts click through, and discover the co-host running your room.
More sellers using TalonBot means more chats showing TalonBot means more sellers discovering it. Presence, not spam — your show does the recruiting.
🦅 welcome in, first time here? lot 4 is a DS Jordan 4, size 10.5
👀 high bid $140 — going twice…

Questions, answered.
Is Talon a real person?
No — Talon's an AI co-host, and it never pretends otherwise. It shows up as a clearly-labeled moderator (TalonBot) so your community always knows who they're talking to. The point isn't to fake a human; it's to handle the busywork so the real humans — you and your regulars — have more room for each other.
How does TalonBot connect to my stream?
You add TalonBot as a chat moderator in YouTube Studio — the same way you'd add any human mod. No password, no OAuth into your personal Google account, and you can remove it any time. It runs on the channel you already own.
Does TalonBot take a percentage of my sales?
Never. TalonBot is a flat monthly tool, not a marketplace. Unlike Whatnot or CommentSold, we don't touch your transactions and we don't take a cut — your buyers, your channel, your margin.
How do buyers pay — and do you handle the money?
Buyers pay you directly, on your own rails. After a sale, TalonBot builds an invoice (with shipping and any discounts) and gives your buyer a checkout with your payment methods — Stripe, PayPal, Venmo, Zelle, or Cash App — as scannable QR tiles. It auto-tracks who's paid and lets you mark off-platform payments as settled. We never touch the transaction and never take a percentage — the money goes straight to you.
I already have human moderators — is this for me?
Absolutely. TalonBot handles the repetitive, easy-to-miss work — greeting every new viewer, answering the same item questions, tracking bids — so your human mods stop copy-pasting and focus on the room, the vibe, and the tricky judgment calls. It's a force-multiplier for a mod team, not a replacement. There's a whole page on it: /for-mod-teams.
Will it really sound like me, or like a robot?
You set the vibe and a chattiness level — chill, balanced, or hype — and TalonBot matches it. It's built to amplify the host, keep lines short, celebrate the buyer, and never spam. The goal is a sharp co-host, not a canned chatbot.
What about unlisted or private streams?
A moderator can reach any chat it's given the link to — including unlisted streams. For those you paste the live link once when you go live; public streams can be detected automatically.
What can it sell?
Anything you auction live — jewelry and gems, coins, trading cards, sneakers, thrift and vintage, crystals. TalonBot answers from each lot's details plus general knowledge about the category.
Your next show doesn't have to be a solo act.
Add TalonBot as a moderator, import a few lots, and call your first SOLD together — on the house.
