Automatically moderate Discord messages using AI and your rules

AI reviews new Discord messages against your community standards and quietly removes ones that cross the line.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Exactly one path is taken; runs once per each new message.

The problem it solves

You want your Discord server to feel safe without babysitting every channel yourself. Reading through hundreds of messages a day to catch harassment or spam is exhausting, and heavy-handed keyword filters end up deleting jokes and normal chatter along with the bad stuff.

Who it fits

Community managers running active Discord servers, like trading, gaming, or business communities.

How it works

  1. Every minute, the system checks the latest messages in your Discord channel
  2. It compares each message against examples of what to keep and what to remove, stored in Google Sheets
  3. AI reads each message for intent and context, not just keywords
  4. Messages that cross the line are deleted, with a short pause between removals
  5. Admins receive a record of what was removed and why
What you get

Rule-breaking posts removed before members see them

You get a community where messages that cross your rules are quietly removed, and a record of every removal for your review.

What you get

A moderated Discord channel plus a log of every removed message and the reason for removal.

What you need

A Discord server with bot access, a Google Sheets account, and an OpenAI API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
