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!
