5-Minute Setup Guide

Here is the fastest way to go from zero to a working AI chatbot in your Discord server.

Create Your Account

Go to bestchatbot.io and click Get Started. You’ll sign in with your Discord account. No separate password needed.
Your Discord login automatically connects your account to the servers you manage.

Invite the Bot to Discord

From the dashboard, click Add Bot to Server. Pick your Discord server from the list and authorize the bot.The bot only requests the permissions it needs to read and respond to messages.

Select Active Channels

Use the Channel Manager to pick which channels the bot monitors. Toggle channels on or off with one click.
Start with one or two channels to test. Expand once you’re happy with the results.

Add Knowledge

Give the bot something to learn from. You have three options:
  • Upload Documents: Drag and drop PDFs, DOCX, TXT, or MD files
  • Add URLs: Paste a website URL and let BestChatBot scrape the content
  • Let it learn from Discord: The bot automatically picks up moderator answers
After adding content, click Rebuild Knowledge Base so the bot can process your data.

Test and Go Live

Use the Retrieval Testing page in your dashboard to ask questions and check the bot’s answers before going live.Once you’re satisfied, the bot is already active in your selected channels. No extra step needed.
