# Pair Discord

> Chat with WednesdayAI in a Discord server or via DM - no setup required on your end.

# Pair Discord

WednesdayAI appears in Discord as a bot in your server. There is nothing to install - just find the bot and start chatting.

## What you need

* Access to the Discord server where your administrator added the bot

## Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Find the bot in your server">
    The bot appears in the member list on the right side of your Discord server. Your administrator can tell you the bot's name.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Start a conversation">
    You have two ways to chat:

    **In a channel:** Type your message in any channel the bot can see, and mention the bot to get its attention:

    ```
    @YourBotName what can you help me with?
    ```

    **Via DM:** Click the bot's name and select **Message**. In a DM you do not need to mention the bot - every message goes straight to your AI.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Read the response">
    Your AI replies in the same channel or DM, usually within a few seconds.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Slash commands

In Discord you can use native slash commands. Type `/` in any channel and look for your bot's commands in the list. Discord shows autocomplete options (and button menus when a command needs a choice).

Common commands:

| Command  | What it does                                                          |
| -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `/reset` | Start a fresh conversation                                            |
| `/think` | Set how hard the model reasons (`off` through `xhigh`, or `adaptive`) |
| `/model` | Switch to a different AI model (opens a picker)                       |
| `/voice` | Control spoken replies                                                |

<Note>
  On Discord, the voice command is `/voice` - Discord reserves `/tts` for its own feature. (`/think` here **sets a reasoning depth**, it is not an on/off toggle.)
</Note>

## Tips

* **DM vs channel** - DMs are private between you and the bot. Channel messages are visible to everyone in the channel.
* **Threads** - in some server setups the bot replies in a thread, which keeps the channel tidy and your conversation separate from other members.

## Troubleshooting

<AccordionGroup>
  <Accordion title="The bot does not respond in a channel">
    The bot may lack permission to read or write in that channel, or you may not have mentioned it. Mention the bot, or ask your server admin to check its channel permissions. You can also try DMing the bot directly.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="I cannot DM the bot">
    Your server privacy settings may block DMs from bots. In Discord, go to **Server Settings -> Privacy Settings** and enable **Allow direct messages from server members**.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="The bot says I'm not authorised">
    Your Discord user ID may not be in the allowed list. Ask your WednesdayAI administrator to add you.
  </Accordion>

  <Accordion title="Slash commands do not appear">
    Native commands can take a few minutes to register after the bot is added. If they are still missing after an hour, ask your administrator to check the bot's command registration.
