Gander AI Setup

Add Gander to your Discord server and configure conversational AI from Community Studio. Set tone, response length, and emoji style so the bot fits the way your community talks.

Community Studio configures the bot per server.

Quick Start

Set up Gander in a few minutes from Community Studio, then refine personality once the bot is in your server.
1

Invite Gander

Open the Gander section of Community Studio and click Invite Bot to Discord. The bot registers your server automatically once it joins.
2

Grant Permissions

During the Discord invite flow, grant Read Messages, Send Messages, Embed Links, Read Message History, and Use External Emojis for full functionality.
3

Configure Personality

In Community Studio, set tone, response length, and emoji use on the General tab. Add interests and topics to avoid for sharper replies.
4

Manage Servers

From the Servers tab, activate or deactivate Gander per server, remove servers, and check connection status across every Discord you run.

Personality Controls

Pick a voice that fits your community. These settings shape every response Gander writes.

Tone

Choose Professional, Friendly, Sarcastic, Argumentative, or Helpful. Tone affects word choice, structure, and attitude.

Response Length

Pick Brief, Concise, or Chatty. Concise works well for most servers and keeps Gander from dominating chat.

Emoji Style

Enable or disable standard emoji. Add a list of server emoji codes so Gander can use your custom set when it fits.

Interests

List topics Gander knows about (gaming, tech, programming, memes). Replies on those subjects get more detailed and enthusiastic.

Recommendations

Best Practices

  • Start with Friendly tone and Concise responses.
  • Test Gander in a private channel before going wide.
  • Set topics to avoid before the first conversation.
  • Monitor early interactions and adjust as you learn.

Safety

  • Gander only reads channels it has access to.
  • Deactivate Gander on any server at any time.
  • Remove a server to revoke access immediately.
  • Use topics-to-avoid to keep replies on-brand.

Troubleshooting

Gander is not responding

Check the bot is online in the server member list and has permission to read and send messages in the channel. Confirm the server is activated in Community Studio.

Bot was removed from the server

Re-invite Gander using the invite button in Community Studio. Your configuration is preserved.

Responses feel off

Adjust tone and verbosity on the General tab. Refine interests and topics to avoid for more tailored replies.
