Command Guide

Generates an AI-powered summary of recent messages in a channel. There are no options to type: /summarize always opens an interactive wizard, and the wizard asks four things.

1. Which channel: one channel, or All channels. Channels excluded with /privacy optout are not offered
2. How far back: 1h, 6h, 12h, 24h, 3d, 7d, 14d or 30d — plus a Custom box that also accepts 1d
3. Summary type: Overview, Tasks, or Custom - Custom opens a box where you type what the summary should focus on
4. Where the result goes: private to you, a new thread, a DM, or posted here

After generating, you can export the summary as Markdown or PDF. If you have Trello or Notion connected, extracted tasks can be synced directly to your boards.

Search channel messages and get a direct answer with evidence and jump links back to the original messages. Creates a persistent thread so you can ask follow-up questions using the same context.

Everything else is a two-step picker that opens after you send the question. Step 1 asks which channel to search - one channel, or All channels; there is no separate option to type. Step 2 asks how far back to look, from 1 hour to 30 days (or a custom range). There is no default: nothing is searched until you pick a range.

Upload a .txt, .md, or .pdf file and get an AI summary. You can also reply to a message that has a file attachment. Max file size is 2 MB.

Upload a file and ask a specific question about its content. Creates a thread for follow-up questions with cached context, so subsequent questions are fast.

Display the kanban board for the current channel with three columns: To Do, In Progress, and Done. Each task shows a short hex ID you can use with other commands. Includes interactive buttons to add, move, and remove tasks.

Quickly create a new task. After creation, you can optionally assign it to a server member using the dropdown.

Move a task to the Done column. Use the task's 6-character hex ID shown on the board. Autocomplete helps you find the right task.

When enabled, messages matching task patterns are automatically added to the board. Detected patterns include:

• To Do:, TODO:, Task:, Action Item:
• Reminder:, Note to self:, Need to:
• Unchecked checkboxes: [ ] or - [ ]
• Reply with just todo to turn any message into a task

An interactive wizard walks you through setting up an automated summary or message:

1. Select your timezone - asked once, then skipped for every later schedule in the same server
2. Choose what to schedule: a Summary, or a Message you write yourself
3. Pick the source: one channel, or All Channels
4. Choose how often: Daily, or Weekly (Mon) through Weekly (Sun) - frequency and weekday are the same dropdown
5. Type the time of day - 9:30 AM, 14:00 and 8pm all work
6. Choose summary type: Digest, Overview, Tasks, or Custom - picking Custom opens a box for what the summary should focus on
7. Pick the channel it posts to; each run lands in a new thread there

For a Message, you write the text instead of picking a source and a summary type, then choose how often, the time, and the channel it posts to.

Schedules are DST-aware and automatically adjust for daylight saving time changes.

Shows all scheduled summaries and messages for the server, with their source channel (or, for a message, the start of its text), destination, frequency, time, and status.

Delete a scheduled summary or message - pick it from the suggestions as you type, each named by its channel and time. Shows a confirmation before deleting.

Runs the schedule right now without changing its next scheduled time - a summary is generated and posted, a message is posted. Useful for testing or getting an on-demand summary.

Opens a secure OAuth link to authorize SummaryBot with Trello. After connecting, use /integrate trello-board to select which board and list to sync tasks to. Supports two-way sync - tasks flow between Discord and Trello.

Specify which Trello board and list to sync extracted tasks to. Automatically sets up a webhook for inbound sync from Trello.

Opens a secure OAuth link to authorize SummaryBot with Notion. After connecting, use /integrate notion-database to select which database to sync tasks to.

Specify which Notion database to sync extracted tasks to. Validates that the database exists and has the required properties.

Shows which integrations are currently connected and their configuration - account info, target board/database, and sync status.

Disconnects Trello, removes stored credentials, and stops task syncing. Previously synced tasks in Trello are not deleted.

Disconnects Notion, removes stored credentials, and stops task syncing. Previously synced tasks in Notion are not deleted.

Get DM'd when a word appears in your server, or when a particular member or bot posts in a particular channel — for example, the moment a giveaway bot posts in #giveaways, without watching the channel yourself. Combine any of the three. Keywords use word-boundary matching (case-insensitive); an alert with no keyword fires on the post itself, so a bot that only posts an image still counts. 5-minute cooldown by default, or set it to 0 to hear about every post. DMs include the message context and a jump link.

Shows all your active alerts in the current server - including person and channel alerts with no keyword - with each one's destination, cooldown and creation date.

Remove one of your alerts. Pick it from the autocomplete list to remove that exact alert - including a person or channel alert with no keyword - or type a keyword to remove every alert of yours watching that word.

Set up scheduled email digests with an interactive wizard:

1. Enter your email address
2. Choose frequency: daily, every 12 hours, or weekly
3. Pick source channels: all or specific ones (up to 10)
4. Optionally add a custom focus (e.g. “engineering decisions only”)

Digest emails include key discussions, decisions, tasks, important dates, announcements, and open questions. Your email is masked in status displays for privacy.

Disables your email subscription. Your settings are preserved so you can re-subscribe later without reconfiguring.

Shows your current digest settings: email (masked), frequency, source channels, and custom focus.

Run the command, then pick the channel(s) to analyze in the menu it opens - picking several pools them, so a topic discussed across three channels becomes one theme. The finished report posts in the channel you ran it from, with the full write-up attached as Markdown and PDF.

Themes are ranked by how many people took a side - the people for plus the people against - so a theme the room rejected, or split down the middle, rises instead of cancelling itself out. The Weight column keeps its sign, so the table says both things at once: what drew attention, and which way it went.

Layouts can also be saved in the Layouts tab of the web dashboard, and a saved layout can carry standing instructions of its own - up to 2,000 characters. Those come first on every run, and whatever you type in the command instructions option is added after them: the layout says what this report always is, the command says what is special about today.

/release add records a release or event by name and date (YYYY-MM-DD), /release list shows the calendar, and /release remove deletes one by its id. A report set to since_last_release or given a release window anchors to these dates instead of a day count.

Group related forum posts and analyze them as one subject. create makes an empty group, add and remove move posts in and out, list shows your groups, delete removes one, and run summarizes every post in the group as a single report, delivered to the channel you ran it in.

/engagement view shows the current emoji sets; positive and negative set them, and submitting either one blank resets it to the defaults. Every emoji is always counted — these two sets only set the +/− sign behind a message export's Weight column and a report's for/against split. Most-engaged ranking is distinct people who reacted, and is not configurable from Discord.

/intents view shows the current categories, set replaces them with your own comma-separated list, and reset puts the defaults back. The weekly digest classifies items into these categories, and the dashboard filters by them.

Names the newsletter, then opens a picker for the channels it reads. The command also takes where each issue posts (channel), an extra webhook URL, which lanes to use (mode: channel, webhook, both, or off for no Discord post and no webhook), a role to ping, the in-channel length (a short teaser embed or the whole issue), and a starting cadence - frequency weekly or daily, day for the weekly one, and hour 0-23. On a server that already has a newsletter, running it again is refused unless you give a different name - with one, it creates a second newsletter with its own channels.

Composes an issue immediately, without touching the schedule. Each run is a new issue with the next number - to write the newest issue again instead, use Refresh this issue in the dashboard (below). A paused newsletter can still be run this way - the issue delivers and scheduled issues stay off. One run per newsletter every 5 minutes.

disable pauses the newsletter and deletes nothing - the channels, schedule, voice and delivery settings all stay - and enable picks the cadence back up where it left off. There is no skip command. A pause holds the next scheduled time where it was, so if that time passes while the newsletter is paused, the issue composes shortly after enable and the schedule carries on from there - unless the newsletter is saved in the dashboard editor while it is paused, which moves the next issue to the next scheduled time after the save.

Shows how the newsletter is set up and when the next issue composes.

Prevent a channel from being included in anything SummaryBot reads: summaries, /ask answers, scheduled summaries, Intelligence Reports, newsletters, automatic task detection, and message exports. Takes effect immediately for all future operations. A whole-server export also names every channel it left out, and why, in the manifest it ships with - so an excluded channel is visible as excluded rather than silently missing.

The picker lists your text and announcement channels, your forums and your categories - the ones that are not plain text channels say which they are - ordered the way your Discord sidebar orders them. Exclude a category and every channel, thread and forum post inside it is excluded too — on all of the surfaces above, not exports alone.

Restore a previously excluded channel so it's included in summaries again.

Shows everything currently excluded in the server - every channel, forum and category you have excluded. The same list can be read, added to and undone from the Privacy tab of the web dashboard.

Configure the language for all AI-generated output including summaries, task extraction, and UI strings. Supports 98 languages including English, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Arabic, and many more. Autocomplete helps you find the right language.

Shows the language currently configured for the server.

Shows your server's AI token usage: percentage used, remaining tokens, estimated messages, voice call usage, and reset date. Includes a visual progress bar.

Shows a categorized overview of all commands. Pass a specific command name to get detailed help for that command.

/glossary add records a term and what it means in your community, remove drops one, list shows the glossary and your community context, and context saves a sentence or two about the server, its tone and what it is about. SummaryBot reads both when it writes summaries and reports, so local jargon is interpreted the way a member would read it. Up to 100 terms; bulk editing lives in the Knowledge Base tab of the dashboard.

/admin stats and /admin guild report bot-wide and per-server numbers, and they answer only to the SummaryBot operators. It is listed here so nobody spends time hunting for it: there is nothing in this group for a server admin to configure.

Register a URL to receive POST payloads whenever a summary is generated. Payloads are HMAC-signed and include the summary text, channel info, message count, and timestamp.

Shows all webhooks for the server including their label, URL preview, and enabled/disabled status.

Remove a webhook by its label. Takes effect immediately.

Send a test event to all configured webhooks to verify they're working. Uses the same signing and format as production payloads.

Download recent summaries as Markdown or PDF files. You can filter by channel and choose how many summaries to include (1–50). To export the messages themselves rather than a summary of them, use /exportmessages below.

Exports a channel's messages as a CSV - timestamp, author, content, attachments, the most common reaction and its count, a signed engagement Weight, and the thread each message came from - or every channel in the server you can read.

Nothing is truncated, and export depth is not a plan feature - every plan gets the same 1–365 day window. Past about 20,000 messages the run simply moves to the background: 20,000 is the number above which SummaryBot says something, not a number an export stops at. A background job survives a restart and picks up where it left off; a very large archive stops after six hours and ships what it reached, saying so in the file.

A small single-channel export comes straight back as a file on the command. Anything that ran in the background is delivered by DM with the download link, and waits in the Export tab of the dashboard either way. The link is good for 7 days and the dashboard issues a fresh one when you come back for it; the file itself is deleted 30 days after the export completes, so save it somewhere of your own. The Export tab can also start the same export, and it shows an estimate before the run and progress during it.

A whole-server export ships with a manifest naming every channel that was left out and why - channels opted out via /privacy, and channels you cannot read in Discord, are never included.

Summarize the first .txt, .md, or .pdf attachment on a message without typing any command.

Opens a thread where you can ask questions about a file's content. Follow-up questions are automatically answered using cached context.
