Heard of instant messaging platform, “Discord”? No? Well, Discord is where mostly the young hang out, including gamers. It’s a hugely popular chat & social media platform.
Now, Discord has announced 3 AI experiences as “free public experiments in a limited number of servers: Clyde, AutoMod AI, & Conversation Summaries.”
Plus, there’s news about a new Discord AI Incubator to help fund innovative AI startups.
Discord claimed in a blog post that over 30 million people already use AI apps on Discord every month. Midjourney’s server is the biggest on Discord, with more than 13 million members using it. Overall, Discord users have created more than 1 billion unique images through AI apps on Discord.
Almost 3 million Discord servers include an AI experience, ranging from generating gaming assets to groups writing novels with AI, to AI companions, AI companies & AI-based learning communities. More than 10% of new Discord users are joining specifically to access AI interest based communities on the platform.
So why is Discord becoming the home for AI? Because you can discuss your AI projects with friends. Rather than just going solo with an app, you & your friends can see what results come from prompts like “robo-hamster caught in cardboard box, renaissance painting,” etc.
