gork

The most powerful AI assistant for Discord, powered by the 𝕐 platform and endorsed by Elon (not sure which one, but one of them for sure).

Setup

1. Prerequisites

• Node.js 22+
• pnpm
• A Discord application with a bot token

2. Discord bot configuration

In the Developer Portal:

1. New Application → name it whatever
2. Bot tab → Reset Token → copy it
3. Bot tab → Privileged Gateway Intents → enable Message Content Intent
4. OAuth2 → URL Generator → scopes: bot, applications.commands → permissions: Send Messages, Send Messages in Threads, Create Public Threads, Read Message History, Read Messages/View Channels, Attach Files
5. Open the generated URL to invite the bot to your server

To get IDs: right-click a server or channel in Discord → Copy ID (requires Developer Mode: Settings → Advanced → Developer Mode).

3. Install and configure

pnpm install
cp .env.example .env

Fill in .env:

DISCORD_TOKEN=your_discord_bot_token
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=your_anthropic_api_key
FAL_KEY=your_fal_api_key
ALLOWED_GUILD_IDS=guild_id_1,guild_id_2

pnpm start  # production

Features

Chatbot

@gork in any channel for confidently wrong answers and deliberately misinterpreted image generation.

Trigger	Behavior
@gork <anything>	Gets a confidently wrong answer
@gork draw/generate/make... image/picture/photo	Generates a deliberately misinterpreted image
@gork !clear	Resets conversation history for the channel
!thelatest	Summary of major topics from the last 3 days, with jump links

Image generation is rate limited to 5 images per minute per user.

Planet Gork RPG

A persistent text RPG running in #planet-gork channel threads. One campaign active per channel. Each campaign is 5 monsters: 3 normal → 1 miniboss → 1 boss.

Starting a campaign: type !start in #planet-gork. Gork generates a campaign and opens a thread.

Taking a turn: @gork or reply to Gork in the campaign thread with your action. Anything goes — attack, heal, use an item, try to befriend the monster.

Command	Behavior
@gork <action> or reply	Take your turn
!me	Your HP, inventory, and status effects (DM)
!party	Everyone's HP and status (DM)
!help	Full rules summary (DM)

HP: starts at 100. Regens +5 per turn. Floor is 1 — you can't die, only get incapacitated.

Loot: defeating monsters drops items distributed randomly among participants. Items have tier-based modifiers (mundane ±5–10, special +10–20, exotic +20–35). Single use.

Status effects: temporary conditions (on fire, cursed, enraged) that modify your effectiveness. Attempt to cure them like a heal action.

Multi-server: each #planet-gork channel runs independently. The same Discord user on two different servers has separate HP, inventory, and status.

Stack

• discord.js — Discord client
• Anthropic SDK — Claude Haiku for GM and summaries
• better-sqlite3 — synchronous SQLite for game state
• fal.ai — FLUX.1-schnell for image generation ($0.003/image)

Deployment

The bot maintains a persistent WebSocket connection to Discord — no open ports or inbound traffic needed. Run it anywhere Node.js runs.

For always-on hosting, a cheap VPS with pm2 works well:

npm i -g pm2
pm2 start "pnpm start" --name gork
pm2 save && pm2 startup

To reset game state: rm gamestate.db and restart. Schema changes require a reset.
