Discord
Discord integration brings Genie into your team's communication space. By adding a bot to your Discord server, team members can interact with the AI assistant directly within channels or through direct messages.
Setup
To connect Discord to Genie:
Create a new application in the Discord Developer Portal
Add a bot to the application
Copy the bot token
Paste the token into your Genie channel settings
Generate an invite URL with the required permissions
Invite the bot to your Discord server
Once the bot is in your server and connected to Genie, it will respond to mentions and direct messages.
How to Use
In Channels
Mention the bot in any channel it has access to:
The bot responds in the same channel, making the conversation visible to everyone.
In Direct Messages
You can also message the bot privately for individual interactions. DM responses are only visible to you.
Team Collaboration
Discord is particularly effective for teams:
Multiple members can interact with the same bot
Conversations are organized by channel
Questions and answers are visible and searchable
New team members can learn from previous interactions
Consider creating a dedicated channel like #genie-ai to keep bot conversations organized and separate from other discussions.
Permissions and Access
The bot requires basic permissions to function:
Read Messages
Send Messages
Read Message History
You can restrict which channels the bot has access to and which roles can interact with it through Discord's built-in permission system.
Credits and Team Usage
All interactions through the Discord bot consume credits from the Genie account that connected it.
If multiple team members use the bot, they all draw from the same credit pool. For heavier usage, consider upgrading your plan or having each team member use their own Genie account with their own bot.
Privacy
The bot can only see messages in channels it has been added to and direct messages sent to it. It cannot see private conversations between users or messages in channels where it does not have permission.
Bot tokens should be treated as sensitive credentials. If compromised, regenerate the token immediately through the Discord Developer Portal and update it in your Genie settings.
