I’ve been experimenting with a Discord-native chess workflow and ended up building a bot for my server that automatically analyzes our Lichess games after they finish.

The idea was making improvement feel more conversational/social instead of constantly jumping between tabs, engines, videos, etc.

The bot:

• posts automatic game analysis
• creates discussion threads per game
• lets you ask questions about positions with /ask
• can replay positions directly inside Discord

I attached a quick 30-second demo video showing how it works.

One interesting thing I noticed:
people discuss their mistakes WAY more when the analysis appears directly inside their community chat, really pushes you to play more and improve.

I’m curious what chess players think:

• would something like this actually help you improve?
• what features would make it more useful?
• what would make it feel less “AI gimmick” and more like a real coach?

Would genuinely love feedback.
