AI Chat

Chat with Dexel in an AI channel, in DMs, or with /chat. It can also make images, look at pictures, and help manage your server.

On by default. Turning AI off in /ai config also turns off the AI tools like summaries and transcripts.

How to use it

Set up an AI channel (admins)

Run /ai config and open Server Settings.
Pick a channel in Select AI Channel.
Dexel now replies to messages in that channel. Add --ignore to a message if you want Dexel to skip it.
Optional: write System Prompt, About Server, Server Rules and FAQs so Dexel knows your server.

Chat anywhere else

Run /chat with your question. Dexel remembers the last few messages for 30 minutes.
Or send Dexel a DM.

Talk out loud in a voice channel

Join a voice channel and run /talk. Dexel joins and you get a card only you can see.
Just start talking. Dexel answers out loud.
Friends in the channel run /talk too to join in. In a group, Dexel answers when someone talks to it.
Press Leave on your card to end the chat. A transcript is posted in the voice channel's chat.

Ask Dexel to change your server

In the AI channel, ask for something like "make a #memes channel" or "time out @spammer for 1 hour".
Dexel posts a plan. Press Execute to run it, Edit Plan to change it, or Cancel.
Changed your mind? Press Undo / Revert Changes afterwards.

Daily usage

Everyone gets a daily AI allowance, shown as a percent in /ai usage. It resets every day at 00:00 UTC.
Each /vote adds 20% for 12 hours (40% on weekends). Premium gives 10x the allowance.
Using your own API key? Then your messages don't count against the allowance.

Use your own API key (optional)

Run /ai config, open Personal Settings, then Manage API Keys.
Pick an empty slot and fill in your provider, a label, and your key.
Back in Personal Settings, pick that slot as your active model.
It works in DMs, and in servers where admins set Member Keys: ALLOWED.

Commands

/chat <prompt> [reset]

AI Everyone

Dexel answers in the channel. /ai chat still works too, but it moved here.

Option	Required	What it does
`prompt`	Required	Your question or message.
`reset`	Optional	Forget the earlier conversation and start fresh.

/talk

AI Everyone

Dexel joins your voice channel and talks with you out loud. Friends in the channel can join in. Everyone who runs it gets their own card that only they can see.

On your card

Enable listen and talk / Disable listen and talk: Turns Dexel listening to you on (green) or off (red). Running /talk turns it on.
Config: Switches the card to your settings: Voice (24 voices), Language (auto or one of 16), and Deep thinking (smarter, slower, uses more of your allowance). Back returns. Settings apply to the next chat you start. In a group, the starter's settings are used.
Leave: Ends the chat for everyone.

Good to know

Dexel only hears people who turned on listen and talk. Audio is not stored.
In a group, Dexel answers when someone talks to it and stays quiet when you talk to each other.
When the chat ends, a transcript file is posted in the voice channel's chat. Some lines may be missing.
Each turn uses the daily AI allowance of whoever spoke.
Dexel leaves after 10 minutes with no one talking, when everyone leaves the channel, or after 30 minutes.
One chat per server at a time. Doesn't work in stage channels yet. Admins can turn it off in /dashboard > Modules.
