# What is a Discord Bot and how can I use one?

Discord has become one of the most popular communication platforms, especially for gaming communities.
It gives online communities a dedicated space to connect, chat, share updates and so much more. 
But did you know that you can add multiple extensions to your Discord, just like your browser? 
These extensions are so-called Discord bots!

## What is a Discord Bot?

Discord Bots are automated programs that can perform specific actions within your server. 
They can have various different functions, and server members can interact with many of them. 
Discord bots not only help with automating routine tasks but also help you create a more interactive community. 
That's where SLASHPLAY comes into the game!

SLASHPLAY is a bot assistant that helps you set up a game server in minutes with no technical knowledge needed. This means you can enjoy playing games with your friends right away rather than spending hours on server setup.

## How to Add SLASHPLAY to Your Server

### Step 1: Choose the Right Bot
First, determine what type of bot your community needs. While there are many options like moderation bots and game stats bots, SLASHPLAY specifically focuses on game server management.

### Step 2: Invite SLASHPLAY to Your Server
1. Visit SLASHPLAY's [official website](https://slashplay.gg) or find us on [top.gg](https://top.gg/bot/1021853826661228645)
2. Click the "Add Bot to your server" button
3. Select your Discord server (requires administrative permissions)
4. Review and authorize the requested permissions

### Step 3: Configure the Bot
- Access the bot's dashboard for customization
- Set up user roles and permissions
- Configure where the bot can be used in your server

### Step 4: Test and Launch
1. Test the bot's functionality using basic commands like `/play`
2. Verify that all features work as expected
3. Announce the bot to your community and share usage instructions
