Every command
/catchup on its own is the whole product for most people.Everyday commands
These three cover almost everything. If you only ever learn one, learn /catchup.
/catchup
Find out what you missed. Works with no options at all.
- sincedefault: your last message in the channel
- How far back to read. Understands plain language — “3 hours”, “yesterday”, “since monday”, “jan 5 2pm”.
- untildefault: now
- Stop at a point instead of the present — “this morning”, “9am”.
- scopedefault: this channel
- Either this channel, or everywhere you can read in the server. Server-wide needs Pro or Scale.
- channeldefault: the channel you're in
- Summarize a different channel.
- countdefault: off — the time window decides
- Summarize an exact number of recent messages instead. Between 5 and your plan's limit.
- publicdefault: false — only you see it
- Post the summary into the channel for everyone instead of privately to you.
- presetdefault: none
- Apply a saved preset — yours, or one the server shares. Pro and Scale.
- Right-click any message → Apps → Catch up from here starts a catch-up at that exact message.
- Every result carries buttons to recast it, expand a single topic, ask a follow-up, or share it to the channel.
/ask
Find a cited answer in recent Discord messages.
- question
- What you want answered, up to 300 characters. Required.
- sincedefault: recent history
- How far back to search.
- scopedefault: this channel
- This channel, or everywhere you can read. Server-wide needs Pro or Scale.
- channeldefault: the channel you're in
- Search a different channel.
- Every factual sentence links to the message that supports it. A sentence that can't be evidenced doesn't get written.
- Without a subscription, a server includes three /ask or @mention replies in total.
@Summary Bot
Mention the bot to work through something in a visible thread.
- It opens a Discord thread you and everyone else can read — there is no hidden conversation.
- It can read and search channels you can read, and shows the tools it used as it works.
- Anything that posts, edits, or deletes is a proposal until you confirm it, and it can only edit or delete its own messages.
- Mentions are rate limited per person and channel so one conversation can't crowd out a server.
Recurring summaries
Summaries that run without anyone asking. Both carry a standing credit cap so an automatic run can never surprise you — see Schedules, live & welcomes.
/schedule add
Starter and upSchedule a recurring summary, daily or weekly.
Who can run it: Anyone, for their own DMs. Delivering to a channel needs Manage Server.
- every
- Every day, or every named weekday. Required.
- at
- The hour it runs, on the clock, in your timezone. Required.
- deliverdefault: your DMs
- Your DMs (private, needs no permissions) or a channel (public, needs Manage Server).
- sourcedefault: the channel you're in
- Which channel to summarize.
- server_widedefault: false
- Summarize everything readable in the server instead of one channel. Pro and Scale.
- todefault: —
- Which channel it posts in. Only used when delivering to a channel.
- tierdefault: Fast
- Which quality runs it.
- max_creditsdefault: 3,000
- The most one automatic run may spend, from 3,000 to 100,000. A run that would cost more reads less history instead.
- Set your timezone with /settings first, or the hour you pick will be interpreted as UTC.
/schedule list · off · run
See what's set up here, stop one, or run one now to see what it produces.
- which
- Which schedule, on off and run.
/live on
Pro and ScaleKeep one message updated with what a busy channel is talking about.

- The busy channel to follow. Required.
- post_todefault: the source channel

- messagesdefault: 50
- New messages needed before it refreshes, from 25 to 500. Pro's floor is 50; Scale's is 25.
- tierdefault: Fast
- Quality used for each update.
- max_creditsdefault: 3,000
- The most one automatic update may spend, from 3,000 to 100,000.
- It counts new messages as they arrive rather than polling Discord, so a quiet channel costs nothing at all.

Stop a live summary, or list the ones running in this server.
Who can run it: Manage Server
- channel
- The source channel whose live summary should stop.
Settings and presets
/settingsis yours alone — changing your quality doesn't change anyone else's. /setup and shared presets are the server-level ones, and they need Manage Server.
/settings
Change how your summaries look. These are your settings, not the server's.
- qualitydefault: Fast
- How capable a model to use: Cheap, Fast, Balanced, or Deep, depending on the plan.
- detaildefault: Standard
- How much to write per topic: Brief, Standard, Detailed, or Exhaustive.
- languagedefault: match the channel
- Always summarize in a given language.
- outputdefault: Cards
- Cards, or a file. File output is part of advanced mode.
- timezonedefault: UTC
- An IANA name like America/New_York, so “since 9pm” means your 9pm.
- Picking an advanced-only option turns advanced mode on for you rather than refusing.
/advanced
Pro and ScaleUnlock raw prompts, exhaustive detail, and file output.
- enableddefault: true
- Turn advanced mode on or off.
/preset
Pro and ScaleSave a summary configuration — a prompt plus quality, detail, output, and language — and reuse it.
- new
- Write a preset in a modal. `for_server` shares it with everyone and needs Manage Server.
- list
- Your presets and this server's.
- default
- Make a server preset a channel's default.
- delete
- Delete one of yours.
- export
- Get a shareable `sbp1:…` code.
- import
- Add a preset someone shared, optionally under a new name.
/setup
Check the bot's Discord permissions and configure server features.
Who can run it: Manage Server
- Reports View Channel, Read Message History, Send Messages, and Embed Links independently, so you can see exactly which one is missing.
Usage, privacy, and keys
/usage
This server's plan, credits used, credits left, and when they renew.
- Also where you apply a top-up you bought. A one-time purchase belongs to you until you choose which server it goes to.
/privacy
Control what the bot may read, and delete what it holds about you.
- info
- What it reads, stores, and doesn't.
- optout
- Exclude your messages from every summary in this server.
- welcome
- Turn welcome DMs on or off — for you, in every server.
- forget
- Delete everything it holds about you, everywhere. Asks first, and can't be undone.
- channel
- Admins: block a channel for everyone, including admins.
- restrict
- Admins: require Manage Server for every summary in this server.
/setapikey · /removeapikey
Add an optional OpenAI or Anthropic key used only after the server's credits run out.
- for_serverdefault: false — just for you
- Let everyone in the server use it. Needs Manage Server.
- A key adds fuel. It never unlocks a quality tier, a feature, or a higher limit.
/debug
Explain the last summary: quality, coverage, timing, the prompt used, and the credits it spent.
- Open to everyone — it's the transparency surface, not an admin tool.
/help
A short tour of what the bot can do, inside Discord.
