The newest firm to join the AI craze is the pioneer communication app with the Discord Clyde bot. The business revealed today that it is introducing a number of new AI experiences to its servers.
Most significantly, Discord is integrating OpenAI ChatGPT technology into its Discord Clyde bot update so that users can have more in-depth talks with the bot. To communicate with the Discord Clyde bot in any channel, enter @Clyde in a server. You may also request that Clyde start a post so that you and your friends can hang out. Clyde may make music recommendations and utilize GIFs and emojis just like any other Discord member, according to Discord.
“Throughout Discord, you may already see Clyde responding to slash commands or DMing you if you’ve made an error,” Discord announced in a blog post. “And next week, Clyde is coming to (artificially intelligent) life, natively within Discord, using OpenAI technology.”
What will be new with the new Discord Clyde bot?
You can ask the Discord Clyde bot to send you a gif or provide you with five pieces of amusing cat-related information. The business is putting the product through testing and iterations in the hopes that it will become an integral part of the Discord experience.
Moreover, Discord is upgrading its AutoMod moderation feature to take use of big language models. In order to locate and notify moderators whenever potential server rules have been breached, AutoMod now makes use of OpenAI technology and is cognizant of the context of a chat. The AutoMod AI project begins in a restricted number of servers today.
According to the company, since launching AutoMod last year, the program has automatically prevented more than 45 million unwanted messages from reaching servers before they could be uploaded in accordance with server rules.
Also, Discord is introducing discussion summaries created by AI. In order for users to easily catch up on or join in on issues they’re interested in, the new functionality is designed to group streams of messages into topics. Some users may begin to notice a new panel on the right side of their screen that lists the subjects that have been covered as a result of these new summaries. Conversation summaries are now coming out to a select few servers and can be activated in the server settings.
Together with these three new AI experiences, Discord revealed that it is also thinking of further ways to integrate AI into its platform. Avatar Remix, an app that allows users to remix one other’s avatars using generative image models, has been made public by Discord. From today, developers can access the Avatar Remix code on GitHub. The business is also investigating a shared visual workspace where users may play with an AI-powered text-to-image generator while collaborating with friends and coworkers.
The business also said that it will open an incubator for artificial intelligence and provide resources to developers who wish to create AI for Discord. The creation of the incubator is a result of Discord’s $5 million pledge to support companies and developers that wish to contribute their skills to the platform. Access to monetary grants, office hours with the Discord development teams, and early access to platform features are all available to participants.
Since its release a few months ago, Open AI’s ChatGPT has taken over the internet and grown in popularity, which has caused AI to become a more prominent topic recently. It is therefore not shocking that Discord is including an AI chatbot in its own messaging system.
Discord isn’t the only platform to have recently gained new AI capabilities; recently, ChatGPT-like features were also added to Snapchat and Slack. The companies are racing with each other to implement AI-supported features into their services.
