AI is the future, at least over on Discord.
The messaging application originally made for gamers has become Gen Z's favorite online hangout destination of choice, and now it's rolling out a number of features powered by artificial intelligence.
In an announcement on Thursday, Discord shared what's coming to the platform soon: an AI chatbot, an automated AI moderator, a conversation summarizer, an avatar remixer, and a whiteboard. Some of these features begin rolling out today, March 9. Others will launch in the coming weeks and months.
SEE ALSO:Grammarly introduces a ChatGPT-style AI tool for writing and editingWhile AI has jumped into the mainstream thanks to the popularity of OpenAI's ChatGPT chatbot, Discord has had an active AI community for quite a while now. According to the company, third-party AI apps already on the platform already have more than 30 million monthly users. Nearly 3 million servers on Discord have some AI element integrated into the community.
In fact, the biggest community on Discord is Midjourney, a text-to-image AI project which allows users to generate art from right within the server. Discord says Midjourney's server has more than 13 million members.
So, with AI being such an integral part of Discord already, it seemed like only a matter of time before Discord itself started bringing AI directly into the platform.
AutoMod AICredit: DiscordThe first feature coming to some Discord servers as soon as today is AutoMod AI. Discord already has an AutoMod feature, which basically automatically moderates rooms for admins based on the rules of the server. Discord has now integrated OpenAI-powered AI into AutoMod, allowing it to search the server and contact moderators when it thinks rules are possibly being broken. According to Discord, AutoMod AI can also consider the context of a conversation so, for example, users don't get penalized for posts that are misconstrued.
Clyde is a bot that Discord users may already be familiar with, and starting next week, Clyde is getting an AI upgrade. Currently, the Clyde bot provides information, such as server error messages, and also responds to timeout or ban requests from users and mods. However, that's pretty much all Clyde was able to do. Until now.
ClydeCredit: DiscordClyde will now be able to answer all sorts of questions from users, much like OpenAI's ChatGPT chatbot. Users simply have to type "@Clyde" followed by their prompt. Clyde will be able to pull up information and also help find specific emojis or GIFs based on a user's description.
Another AI feature coming to Discord next week is Conversation Summaries. Again, the name is fairly descriptive of what it does. With users all over the world, many Discord channels are always moving regardless of time of day. Conversation Summaries will allow users to catch up on what they missed on a Discover Server. The AI-powered feature will "bundle" chats into topics so users can easily read up on what they find most interesting.
Conversation SummariesCredit: DiscordStarting today, developers can start playing with Avatar Remix, an open-source Discord app that integrates AI art into the messaging app. Avatar Remix allows users to take a fellow user's avatar and change it up "using the power of generative image models." What does that mean? In the demo that Discord showed Mashable, a user was able to add a party hat or a mustache to a friend's avatar by simply mentioning their username and describing what changes they'd like to make.
Avatar RemixCredit: DiscordThe company is also launching an "AI incubator," offering support for developers creating AI-powered apps on Discord.
Finally, Discord revealed a feature that's coming soon that has long been requested by the Discord community: a whiteboard. But, of course, this won't be just any collaborative whiteboard feature. It's going to be AI-powered, allowing users to collaborate in generating AI art and more.
