Create a Discord bot for your community.
Start with the job your bot should do. Describe commands, responses and automations, then build and refine the project in the same workspace as your server.
Start with a request like this
Build a bot with a command that answers our server's common questions and a welcome message for new members. Let me review its responses before running it.
An example brief to adapt to your community.
Describe the behaviour, then refine the project
Give Onecord a concrete task: a helpful command, an answer to common questions or an automation that posts updates in a chosen channel. Explain when it should run and what it should say.
The bot workflow includes code validation, background builds and cancellation. You can connect an existing bot and continue working on its project. Bot import and export are paid-plan features; check the current plan comparison before relying on them.
Choose hosting that fits your plan
Hosted runtime lets eligible bots run beyond your open editor tab. Pro and Team support continuous hosted running while entitled; Free has a daily hosted allowance. Building a bot, inviting it to Discord and keeping it running are separate parts of setup.
AI generation uses credits. Hosting eligibility and credit balances have different conditions, so review the pricing and credit terms for your selected plan.
Browse published bots when one already fits
The Marketplace is another starting point when a published bot already does the job. Browse current listings and invite destinations; Marketplace bots are included on Pro and Team. Third-party capabilities and permissions vary by bot.
How to get started
- Sign in and describe the bot's purpose, commands and expected responses.
- Connect the bot you are authorized to manage and follow its setup steps.
- Review and refine the generated project and its validation results.
- Use the bot workflow's runtime controls and confirm your hosting entitlement.
