Community messaging app Discord is adding more experimental AI features to its platform.
This includes upgrading its existing Clyde bot with OpenAI ChatGPT technology, allowing the bot to answer questions and converse with users.
- Starting next week, Discord will make the Clyde chatbot available for free to a small number of servers for its alpha users.
- After
that limited experiment, Discord plans to add the chatbot to additional
servers for more users to hold conversational interactions.
- Users will be able to summon the bot by typing @Clyde.
- In addition to Claude, Discord is bringing a feature that uses generative AI to "remix" avatars, as well as AI-generated Conversation Summaries.
- Discord is also adding OpenAI technology to its automated content moderation tool.
- Called AutoMod, it can block unwanted messages based on words configured by server admins and moderators.
- The upgraded tool will be able to understand the conversational context and flag messages to moderators.
