Last updated: 2025-12-14
Getting Started
Do I need to know how to code?
No! VibeCord is designed for everyone. Just describe what you want your bot to do in plain English, and our AI builds it for you.
Is VibeCord free to try?
Yes! Our Free plan gives you 5 builds per month and 15-minute test deployments to try out your bots. See all plans →
How long does it take to create a bot?
Most bots are generated in 2-3 minutes. Adding it to your server takes another minute or two once you’ve configured your Discord bot token.
What can my bot do?
Almost anything! Common uses include:
- Welcome messages for new members
- Moderation (warn, kick, ban)
- Fun commands (jokes, polls, games)
- Role management
- Custom slash commands for your community
Bots & Servers
How many bots can I run 24/7?
It depends on your plan:
- Free: No 24/7 bots (15-minute test deployments only)
- Starter ($19/mo): 1 concurrent 24/7 bot
- Pro ($49/mo): 3 concurrent 24/7 bots
Can I add my bot to multiple Discord servers?
Yes! Once your bot is running, you can add it to any servers where you have Manage Server permission. There’s no limit on servers per bot.
Why is my bot offline?
Common reasons:
- Not deployed — Tell VibeCord to deploy: “Deploy my bot”
- Stopped — Tell VibeCord to restart: “Start the bot”
- Free plan timeout — Free deployments expire after 15 minutes
- Token issue — Your Discord bot token may need updating
- Quota reached — You may have hit your concurrent bot limit
Commands & Features
How do I add more commands to my bot?
Edit your bot by chatting with the AI to request new commands. Then redeploy with the updated code.
Can my bot respond to messages (not just slash commands)?
Yes! Describe triggers in your conversation with the AI:
“When someone says ‘hello’, respond with ‘Hey there!’”
Note: Message content requires the MESSAGE CONTENT intent enabled in Discord Developer Portal.
Can my bot DM users?
Yes, just include it when describing your bot:
“DM new members with a welcome message when they join”
Can my bot assign roles?
Yes! Learn about role management →
Account & Billing
How do I upgrade or cancel my subscription?
Go to your profile → Billing. From there you can upgrade, downgrade, or cancel. Changes take effect at the next billing period.
What happens to my bots if I cancel?
They move to the Free plan limits. Since Free doesn’t include 24/7 bots, your deployments will stop. You can still use 15-minute test deployments.
Can I get a refund?
Contact support for refund requests. Contact support →
Is my payment information secure?
Yes, all payments are processed by Stripe. We never see or store your full card number.
What are build credits?
Each time the AI generates or modifies your bot code, you use one build credit. Credits reset monthly. You can also buy top-up packs ($9 for 5 credits).
Discord-Specific
Do I need to create a Discord bot application?
Yes. VibeCord generates your bot’s code, but you need to create a bot application in the Discord Developer Portal and provide the token to VibeCord.
Does my bot need special permissions?
Your bot needs Discord permissions for its features. VibeCord shows required permissions after code generation.
Why can’t my bot assign a role?
Your bot can only assign roles below its own role in the server hierarchy. Drag your bot’s role higher in Server Settings → Roles.
How do I remove my bot from a server?
In Discord: Server Settings → Integrations → Your Bot → Remove
How do I customize my bot’s profile picture?
Set your bot’s avatar in the Discord Developer Portal under your bot application settings. VibeCord doesn’t control the avatar.
Technical
Where do the bots run?
On secure cloud servers with automatic scaling and 24/7 monitoring. You don’t need to host anything yourself.
Is my bot token secure?
Yes, tokens are encrypted at rest and in transit. We never log or expose your token.
What happens during maintenance?
Running bots are briefly restarted but come back automatically. We schedule maintenance during low-traffic periods when possible.
Can I export my bot’s code?
Yes! VibeCord shows the generated code in the code panel. You can copy it and run it yourself if you have Node.js hosting.
