Server Assistant🧭 The /setup wizard
/setup is how Server Assistant gets configured for your server. It’s a short,
guided flow: the bot detects sensible defaults, fills them in for you, and you
just confirm each screen. The whole thing takes about a minute.
You can reach it three ways:
- Automatically — when the bot joins, it DMs the server owner a Welcome message that opens the wizard.
/setup— run it in your server any time to re-open the wizard (it pre-fills your current configuration, not a blank slate).- Web portal — the wizard offers a “finish setup on the web” link to the portal if you’d rather click through a browser.
Who can run it: the server owner, or an admin with Manage Server.
🚀 Quick start
You’re set up in about a minute — the bot does the work, you just confirm.
Add the bot
One click. It scans your server and DMs you a ready-filled wizard the instant it joins.
In your DMs
Your wizard's waiting, already filled in. Tap Looks good.
/setup
Rather do it in-server? Run it any time.
Make it yours (optional)
Tweak anything in /settings — nine wizards, every change saves instantly.
The nine wizards
- 🎨 Branding · embed colour, nickname, timezone
- ⚡ Quick Presets · AutoMod / ladder / onboarding / anti-raid
- 🛡️ Behaviour · approval timeout, log verbosity, Threat Score
- 👋 New Members · auto-role, welcome reaction
- 🔐 Verification · DM-button gate
- 📍 Channel allowlist · where the bot responds
- 🛂 Role Tiers · custom tiers + approval authority
- 🔔 Notifications · per-event role pings
- 🩺 Pulse · daily health digest
💡 In a real hurry? /autopilot skips the step-by-step wizard and applies the detected defaults in one tap — a faster style of setup, not a separate place to start (fine-tune anything later in /settings).

Want the detail behind each confirmation? Here’s the wizard, screen by screen.
Use Next › and ‹ Back to walk each state — including the two conditional screens (Preflight and Permission review) that only appear when the bot needs them.
Only shows if something's missing. If the bot already has the permissions it needs, the wizard skips straight to Step 1. “Re-check” re-reads the bot's permissions after you fix them; “Continue anyway” proceeds and the bot does what it can.
Channels. Pick the staff chat (the command listening post) and a log channel (the audit trail). The bot pre-fills both from what it detected — use the dropdowns to change them, or 🆕 Create for me to have it make fresh channels. Tags read (detected) on a new server, or (current) if you're re-running setup.
Roles. Choose your Admin and Moderator roles — the colour emoji mirrors each role's colour so they're easy to spot. No suitable roles yet? 🆕 Create Admin + Mod generates them with sensible permissions. The owner is always treated as full-access, so an owner role is optional.
Only shows if a tidy-up is needed. If your staff roles are missing a permission they need — or @everyone has a risky one — the bot lists the exact change and waits for your ✅ Approve & apply. If it can't make a change because of role hierarchy, this becomes a 🔄 Re-check after you move its role up.
AI & community type. The bot guesses your community type from your server name and description (Gaming, Creator, Anime, Crypto, Education, DIY and more) and uses it to preset AutoMod, the punishment ladder and anti-raid. Then pick your AI path — the free trial, 🔑 your own key (opens the form on the next screen), or Skip AI.
Only if you chose “Enter my own key”. Choosing 🔑 Enter my own key on the previous screen opens this short form. Paste a supported provider key and your server runs AI on your own account — no trial limit. You can change or remove it later with /ai-config.
Done. A recap of everything that was configured. 📤 Post welcome to staff chat drops a short “how to drive the bot” guide into your staff channel for the rest of your team (on a re-run this becomes 🔁 Re-post). From here, try /help or open /settings to fine-tune anything.
What if I want to change something later?
Nothing here is one-shot. Re-run /setup any time — it loads your current
configuration so you can adjust a single thing without starting over. For
deeper, per-feature control, open the Settings hub with /settings, or
manage AutoMod, onboarding and the rest from their own commands (each gets its
own page in this wiki).
