Discord bot

Add a bot to your Discord server that answers questions based on your documentation.

Discord integrations are available on Pro and Custom plans with access to the assistant.

The Discord bot supports your community with real-time answers from your documentation. The bot uses the Mintlify assistant to search your docs and provide accurate, cited responses, so it is always up-to-date.

The Discord bot responds to @ mentions and to every message in channels named #ask-ai.

Each message sent by the Discord bot counts toward your assistant message usage.

Add the Discord bot to your server

You must have the “Manage Server” permission in Discord to add the bot.

1. Navigate to the Integrations tab of the Assistant Configurations page in your dashboard.

2. In the Discord card, click Connect. This opens Discord.

   

3. In Discord, select the server you want to add the bot to.

4. Authorize the bot to access your server.

5. Mention the bot to add it to a channel. The bot’s default name is @Mintlify Bot.

Create an #ask-ai channel

To help your community quickly get answers to their questions, create a channel named #ask-ai and add the bot to it. The bot will respond to every message in that channel. See Starting Your First Discord Server on the Discord blog for more information on creating a channel.

Manage the Discord bot

After you add the bot to your server, you can manage or remove the integration from the Integrations tab.

Customize the bot’s avatar and name to match your brand then let your community know they can mention it to get answers.
