Create Your First Bot

To create your first Discord bot with VibeCord, describe what you want in plain English, let the AI generate the bot, then deploy it and add it to your Discord guild (server).

Step 1: Start a new project in VibeCord

From the app, you’ll see a chat interface where you can describe what you want to build.

Step 2: Describe what your bot should do

Tell us what you want your bot to do. Write in plain English — no technical jargon needed.

Example descriptions:

“A bot that welcomes new members with a friendly message and gives them a ‘Member’ role”

“A moderation bot that warns users for bad language and kicks repeat offenders”

“A fun bot with commands like /joke, /meme, and /8ball”

Be specific

The more details you give, the better your bot will be. Include what commands you want, what should trigger actions, and what messages the bot should send.

Step 3: Generate the bot (AI builds the code)

After you describe your bot, click Generate.

VibeCord’s AI (powered by OpenAI Codex) will start building your bot. You can watch it work in real-time:

The AI will run commands, create files, and set up your bot’s code:

This usually takes 2-3 minutes for a typical bot.

Step 4: Review the generated code

Once generation is complete, you can review the code in the files panel:

Step 5: Add your Discord bot token

Before deploying, you’ll need to provide your Discord bot token:

The token wizard will guide you through the process:

Paste your token from the Discord Developer Portal:

Step 6: Deploy your bot

Click Deploy to launch your bot:

Watch as your bot starts up:

Once it’s running, you’ll see the status change to “Running”:

Step 7: Monitor your bot

View your bot’s activity logs to see what it’s doing:

Tips for Great Bots

Dream Big, Start Anywhere

You can describe a complex bot upfront or start simple and iterate. The AI handles either approach.

Be Specific About Behavior

The more detail you give, the closer the result: “When someone says ‘hello’, the bot should reply with ‘Hey there!’ and add a 👋 reaction.”

There Are No Templates

Don’t look for a “category” that fits—just describe what your community actually needs. The AI writes custom code for your exact vision.
