SuperIntern runs as a bot in Discord. Add it to your server and your whole team can delegate tasks, get answers, and automate work right inside your existing workspace.
This page is about using your own SuperIntern on Discord. To have SuperIntern answer your community’s questions on your server, see Personal Assistant or Business Agent?.

Setup

  1. Go to Integrations → Discord in the web app.
  2. Click Add to Discord and authorize the bot for your server.
  3. Choose which channels the bot can read and write in.
  4. Start chatting — mention the bot in any authorized channel.
Once authorized, the Discord icon in the web app sidebar turns green.

In a Server Channel

Your intern responds when mentioned with @:
Only messages that @mention your intern trigger a response — it won’t interrupt normal conversation in the channel.

Channel permissions

Your intern only participates in the channels you authorized during setup. To add or remove channels, go back to Integrations → Discord and update the bot’s permissions.

In a DM

For personal tasks, open a direct message with your intern. In DMs it responds to every message without needing a @mention:

Ambient Mode (DM only)

In DMs, enable Ambient Mode so your intern monitors passively and only responds when it detects something relevant — a commitment, an open question it can help with, or a deadline approaching:
Message the bot directly to return to normal mode:

Threads

Your intern handles Discord threads. When it responds inside a thread, it keeps that thread’s context separate from the main channel — useful for long-running discussions or task-specific conversations that shouldn’t pollute the main feed.

What Stays in Sync

Tasks, memories, sessions, and contacts created in Discord sync with the web app and all other connected channels. Your intern has the same context regardless of where you’re talking to it.

Tips for Discord Servers

Create a dedicated #intern channel and give the bot write access only there. This keeps AI responses out of human-only discussions while making the bot easy to find.
In large servers, restrict the bot to channels where it’s actively used. Fewer authorized channels means less noise and cleaner permissions.
