Discord introduces new AI experiments, including AI chatbot Clyde, AutoMod AI, and Conversation Summaries.
Discord has announced plans to give its users more AI-powered tools to use – which they will be testing on a limited number of servers with plans to release them to the wider public at a later date. Discord’s native chatbot Clyde will be using OpenAI technology. Users will be able to ask Clyde questions and have extended conversations with the bot.
According to recent research, more than 30 million people already use AI apps on Discord every month. Almost 3 million servers include an AI experience and the company estimates nearly 10% of new users are joining to access these AI tools.
Last year, Discord committed $5 million to fund strategic developers and early-stage start-ups to bring them to the platform. They are now launching an AI incubator as a part of that fund. Developers can earn grants and access to additional resources to build their AI projects for the platform.
