It’s all about artificial intelligence (AI) these days.
Startup “Ansy” is a Discord bot powered by GPT-3 to answer questions on your behalf. Once installed, Ansy reads your message history from public channels & gives contextual answers. It’s like having your own human expert answering questions by your website traffic.
Ansy can even be trained with your Markdown files, & answers based on that knowledge.
What’s more, “Type ‘/s'” at the end of your question to receive a humorous response from Ansy, & increase engagement in your community.
Installing the bot is really easy since community owners, admin, moderators & so forth, only need to invite the bot to their community to set it up & see it in action.
The bot is designed to save community moderators time because it can automate answers to repetitive questions & eliminate frustration. It’s also helpful to community members’ since they can receive instant feedback & answers without having to wait for moderators’ availability.
This is a bot that has been developed with communities in mind & it can engage in a conversation with members & even reply with wit & humor. Another feature is that the bot facilitates search options within the community giving members access to broader information instantly. All these features mean that community members are far more likely to remain active & engaged.
Moderators can use Ansy to assist with a variety of tedious functions common to community productivity, such as : writing server announcements, tweets & emails.
Ansy has been built to assist with any type of Discord server because it can draw on its vast global knowledge, but it functions best where questions asked are non-trivial & answers can be gleaned by studying the server history & documents specific to the nature of the server.
The developers behind the bot are planning to extend its functionality to WhatsApp & Slack. Potential users can add their name to a waitlist so that they’re alerted when the bot is ready for the task.
