Malin Leschly, Logitech’s chief design officer, earned her chops at the hardware company by working for a demanding set of customers: Livestreamers. “Streamers want to look good, they want to sound good, and they want to have control over what they do,” she says. 

Now, just over half a year into her role as Logitech’s CDO, Leschly is exploring how the company can use AI to make life a little easier for content creators. In September, Logitech, through its Streamlabs subsidiary, released an “AI Game Highlighter” that automatically converts livestreams on Twitch into shorter clips that can be shared on platforms like YouTube, X and Instagram.
