What it does

You get instant answers when you mention the bot on Discord, as it automatically filters your authorized requests and sends them to an AI for a reply. The system handles this by polling channels at set intervals, verifying user access, and forwarding your questions directly to the AI webhook.

How it works

When it runs: On a schedule · Scheduled · every minute
How hands-off: Assists you, you do the final step
Setup: An afternoon · about an afternoon
Works with: Discord, HTTP Request, Code

Code : Filter noise and deduplicate messages

api

HTTP Request : Forward messages to AI agent webhook

Watch out for

Discord API rate limits can block the run, so implement exponential backoff on failed requests.
Message content truncation may occur if the AI response exceeds Discord's character limit, so add logic to split or truncate replies safely.
Unauthorized users might spoof message headers, so always verify the author ID against your database rather than trusting client-side data.
Webhook timeouts can leave messages pending indefinitely, set a strict timeout threshold and log failures for manual review.

Want this running in your business?

This is what I do. I design and build AI agents like this one, and keep them running. If you want it set up for your team instead of doing it yourself, get in touch.

Who it's for

Built for developers who want the busywork around code automated, not the code itself.

Ops-IT teams triaging their own internal requests get the same pattern, different queue.

Frequently asked questions

Who is this for?

developers and engineers and ops and IT teams, or anyone doing customer support work who wants this handled automatically rather than manually.

How long does it take to set up?

An afternoon: plan for about an afternoon to get it running end to end.
