The big idea
AI can write a working Discord bot for you, but you have to test it, fix the bugs it leaves, and protect the bot token.
Some examples
- Ask AI for a 'minimal Discord.js bot that replies pong to !ping'.
- Paste the code, run it, and copy the actual error back to AI when it crashes.
- Never paste your bot token in a public chat — keep it in a .env file.
Try it!
Tell AI: 'I'm 14 and never used Node. Walk me through making a Discord bot that DMs me when someone says my username.' Run it.
