Hi! I'm going to (re)create a Discord bot (for my personal server) using an OpenAI-compatible provider, and would like to know what you think it's the best practices for the AI to handle things like multi-user conversation, memory, giving extra contexts (like user IDs, channel names), not anything on code-level but more on the prompt/what to send in each chat completion/response, etc.

Do anyone here have a prompt to make the model act as a creative "buddy", where i can talk things about my worldbuilding idea and the model comments about it and suggest stuff to change/add?

Well, after a disastrous end of my previous server due to a couple of childish ppl coming to it and screwing things over, i was looking forward for a less toxic alternative for friend communities, but honestly, the environment can't be more confusing.

Whatsapp is out of question because one of the selling points of Discord for me is the ability to create parallel chats (channels) and the bot API and it doesn't have both (creating a community and having multiple groups for each topic is hilariously bad at UX-side). Telegram is prone to be blocked where i live (Brazil), especially now that elections are coming. The sucessors of FOSSCORD (Spacebar and Fermi/Harmony) had such split that makes things even more fragmented, and Fluxer is basically the embodiement of the word "ripoff", complete with their own version of Nitro, so switching for that would be basically trading six of one and half a dozen of the other.

I was really hoping for Roomy to get a mobile app working but development is super slow and the dev/ux mindset is deviating more and more from the core features of Discord.

So, what can i do? Is there any real alternative to Discord (for a friends group, like i said) out there?

Not really related to genai art, but funny to think about the (lack of) logic of this:

If you play a game and need to ask the (extremely anti-ai) community if it have a mod that adds a built-in MCP server for AI agents to query information of the current game state: ask instead just for a HTTP/RESTful API instead. They probably will not consider a personal attack even if its almost the same thing (you just need to make a "wrapper" to make a proper MCP server to send structured data to the agent).

Mentioning AI when you don't need to is just asking for hassle.
