Getting started

Add the bot

Invite Asbern from the button on the site. Discord will ask which server, and which permissions to grant. Grant them all — the bot degrades gracefully if something is missing, but you will hit avoidable errors otherwise.

What happens automatically

The moment Asbern joins, three things are already done for you:

• Your guild is registered. The bot knows its own id and yours; nothing to type.
• A timezone is set to UTC. Change it in one press if you are elsewhere — everything that says "today" depends on it.
• A Server Manager role is created, hoisted, with the bot in it. That role is how someone who is not a Discord Administrator opens the admin console.

There is no setup wizard, and that is deliberate. A server that has just added the bot is already configured.

Open the admin console

Run /menu, then More → Admin. Everything the bot can be configured to do is in there — there is no config file to edit, and nothing that requires a developer.

If you cannot see the console, you are neither a Discord Administrator nor in the Server Manager role. Ask someone who is to add you.

The one thing worth doing first

Set a moderator channel under Settings. It is optional, but until it is set, moderation notices have nowhere private to go. Everything else has a sensible default.
