messages. Every second. Unread.

With over 1,300 messages every single second across tracked Twitch channels, live chat is one of the largest untapped raw data sources in digital marketing. Unlike curated social media where people think before they post, Twitch chat is authentic and spontaneous — real reactions in real time.

Words aren't enough

Processing hundreds of messages per second with live sentiment has always been a challenge. But the real problem goes deeper — words alone don't capture meaning. Emotes carry the true sentiment. A single “KEKW” can flip the meaning of an entire message. Without understanding the emote layer, you're reading with one eye closed.

That's why we built subtext|

Subtext was purpose-built to decode real-time chat sentiment with unparalleled accuracy — tracking not just what people say, but what they actually mean. By processing emotes, context, and volume simultaneously, we provide insights into how specific communities genuinely feel about a product, game, or sponsorship as it happens.

A massive industry with a blind spot.

Influencer marketing is no longer niche — it's a global economic engine. Yet the live streaming segment, one of its fastest-growing verticals, still lacks the tools to truly understand audience reaction.
