An AI chat bot for Discord with memory and personality

What it needs

• Enable Cortex AI on your bot. Custom replies need View Channel, Send Messages and Message Content Intent; these plain-text replies do not make an AI call.
• Configure replies for the selected server in the dashboard. Auto-responders created with !cortexautorespond remain saved with their existing behavior.

Setting it up

1. Open your bot’s Modules tab, configure Cortex AI and select a server. Keep Enable auto-responses on, add a trigger and choose Contains, Exact message or Starts with. Matching ignores letter case.
2. Add up to 10 reply variants. A blank weight means 1; otherwise use a positive whole number. Leave No reply weight blank (or set it to 0) unless a matching message should sometimes stay silent. Set Cooldown (seconds) from 0 to 86,400 and choose Per channel or Per user in this server. Turn on Keep this cooldown after a bot restart only when that rule should retain its wait, then Save Settings.

Example

Set the exact trigger hello with replies Hello, {user}! at weight 3 and Welcome back, {user}! at weight 1. Leaving No reply weight blank gives the replies 75% and 25% chances. Setting its weight to 1 instead gives the two replies 60% and 20% chances, plus a 20% deliberate silent outcome that does not fall through to AI chat. Set a 60-second Per channel cooldown; further hello messages from anyone in that channel stay silent for 60 seconds, while another channel can reply immediately. Turn on Keep this cooldown after a bot restart to retain that wait through a restart. With Per user instead, the member waits across channels in this server while other members can still receive a reply.

Limits and troubleshooting

Limits

• Use up to 50 dashboard triggers per server, with 1–10 plain-text replies per trigger and up to 2,000 characters per reply. Missing reply weights are equal; a missing or zero no-reply weight is disabled; missing cooldown or 0 means no cooldown. {user}, {server} and {channel} placeholders are supported, without mention notifications.
• The first matching dashboard rule handles the message before legacy auto-responders and AI chat. A deliberate silent outcome also stops there. Cooldowns begin when a matching rule is handled and reset on restart or rule change by default. Turn on Keep this cooldown after a bot restart to retain a positive cooldown through restart; it still resets when the rule changes. The generated bot retains at most 5,000 active saved cooldown scopes per server.

If it doesn’t work

• No reply: check that Cortex and Enable auto-responses are enabled, the correct server is selected, the message matches, and the bot has channel access and Message Content Intent.
• A matching message is silent: it may have selected the optional no-reply outcome, or be waiting for its cooldown; set no-reply weight and cooldown to 0 to disable both. A higher weight changes the chance over repeated replies; it does not guarantee a specific reply.
