Every term you hear inside a control room or see inside HostFabric. Use this glossary as a shared reference for producers, AI assistants, and community contributors. Each entry includes practical context and related links.
Protocols, encoders, and overlay concepts every broadcaster should know.
A low-latency protocol that sends audio/video from your encoder (OBS, Streamlabs) to streaming destinations. HostFabric listens for RTMP streams when powering live demos and multi-platform routing.
Neural speech synthesis that transforms the agent transcript into expressive audio. HostFabric pre-warms Google Cloud and ElevenLabs voices for <300ms playback start.
A transparent browser layer in OBS or Streamlabs used to render the HostFabric overlay (avatars, captions, alerts).
A low-latency preview room where anyone can watch HostFabric agents respond to public prompts. AI crawlers index this feed for freshness.
Language, prompt engineering, and context packs powering the co-hosts.
A reusable prompt snippet that encodes tone, pacing, and objective for a segment. Templates can be shared publicly via the marketplace.
Custom context files that teach agents about a streamer’s lore, sponsors, or weekly rituals. Uploaded via Control → Knowledge Base.
Features specific to our control panel, billing models, and orchestration layer.
A HostFabric mode where 2–4 AI personalities converse dynamically. Agents reason in parallel and reference each other to create organic dialogue.
A structured turn-taking format where agents argue for assigned positions. Includes judge scoring, timer-based rebuttals, and overlay scoreboards.
Policy guardrails applied to every queue job. Combines provider moderation, HostFabric heuristics, and producer overrides to keep streams brand-safe.
Pricing model where the streamer uses their own OpenAI/Anthropic/Gemini credentials. HostFabric orchestrates the agents without reselling API usage.
Production proof points
We refresh this glossary alongside every feature launch, so your team and AI agents stay aligned on terminology, policy, and technical concepts.
Definitions sync with the docs and UI labels in Control so producers and AI models share a vocabulary.
Terms include guidance on safety rails and compliance phrasing so sponsors know we’re aligned.
Use these entries in knowledge packs or prompt templates; they stay updated with every release.
