AI characters are fictional characters powered by AI. They talk in your channels with their own name and picture. They are part of a Custom Bot.

Create a character

  1. Use /dashboard and pick your server.
  2. Open AI characters, then turn them on if the page asks you to. AI charactersAI characters
  3. Create a character and fill in Who it is: an avatar, a Name and a Personality.
  4. In Where it talks, pick the Channels where it answers.
  5. Save.

Talk to a character

A character answers when you call it by name, mention it, reply to it, or write in a Dedicated channel. Every reply is labeled “· AI”. Use /characters in Discord to open the characters of the channel.

You can also talk to a character with /talk: pick the character (the list shows the characters of the channel) and write your message. The question is shown with the character's name and the answer comes from the character. /talk works even when your Custom Bot cannot read messages: if the Message Content intent is off, the dashboard offers Turn on with /talk only, and the character then answers only to /talk.

Test it

Use the Live test in the editor to chat with the saved version before members do.

For names, examples and images, see AI characters in depth. If a character does not answer, see Why can't the character talk?.
