Discord’s AI chat integration for servers, Clyde, is powered by OpenAI technology, offering users a chance to engage with a chatbot with various functionalities. While Clyde remains in the experimental stage, it’s currently accessible for users to try out at no cost.
Clyde presents users with a range of capabilities, including the ability to discover new things by providing knowledge, tips, and jokes. Additionally, users can enjoy interactive trivia games, receive recommendations for movies, books, and local restaurants, and express themselves using GIFs, memes, and emojis.
To ensure users interact with the official Discord Clyde chatbot, it’s crucial to verify that the username and @ mentions refer to “Clyde” with a capital “C.” Server admins are notified of Clyde’s presence on their server and have the option to disable Clyde before or after its arrival. Similarly, server members receive notifications when Clyde is enabled, granting them the opportunity to commence chatting with Clyde.
Interacting with Clyde is facilitated in any text channel within the enabled servers. Users can either mention @Clyde in their message or reply to an existing Clyde message to initiate a conversation. Upon the first interaction with Clyde, users receive an ephemeral message providing instructions on how to utilize it.
During the beta phase, Clyde’s availability may be restricted to a small percentage of servers. Server admins are notified in advance, and unless they choose to disable it, Clyde is enabled by default.
